People are often surprised by how much golf is packed into this corner of Toronto. Etobicoke has championship private clubs with national reputations, plus public courses where you can book a tee time this weekend. Here is our local's guide to both.
Few parts of the GTA can match Etobicoke's golf density. The Humber River and Etobicoke Creek valleys carve green corridors through the borough, and over the past century some of Canada's most storied clubs put down roots here. That history is still very much in play.
Located on Islington Avenue, St. George's is consistently ranked among the finest golf courses in Canada and has hosted multiple Canadian Opens. The course dates to 1929 and plays as a par 71 stretching over 7,000 yards. Membership is private and coveted. Homes in the surrounding pocket trade at a premium partly because of the address.
A classic parkland layout tucked into the Islington City Centre West area, Islington Golf Club is one of Etobicoke's most established private clubs, with a course that winds along Mimico Creek. It is a true neighbourhood club. Many members live within a short drive.
Sitting along Etobicoke Creek on the borough's western edge, Markland Wood anchors the neighbourhood that shares its name. The 18 hole private course has rolling fairways and well placed water and bunkering. The surrounding Markland Wood community is one of Etobicoke's better kept residential secrets, with larger lots and a strong connection between club and neighbourhood.
Technically straddling the Etobicoke and Mississauga border near Alderwood, the Toronto Golf Club is the third oldest golf club in North America, founded in 1876, with an 18 hole course designed by legendary architect Harry Colt. We profiled its history in an earlier post. It remains one of the most exclusive memberships in the country
Just up the Humber in Weston, this private club has been part of the west end for more than a century, with a course laid out by Willie Park Jr. that golf people still talk about. Arnold Palmer won his first professional title here at the 1955 Canadian Open, a story you will hear within your first hour on the property. We profiled the club in an earlier post.
Set where the Humber bends past Scarlett Road, Lambton has been at it since 1902 and offers 27 holes, a championship eighteen plus a nine hole valley course. It sits minutes from Edenbridge and Humber Valley Village, close enough that some of our clients measure the trip to the first tee in seconds. We covered its history in an earlier post.
The City of Toronto's 27 hole facility at Centennial Park is Etobicoke's go-to public option. Three nine hole loops let you play a quick nine or a full round, and the practice facilities make it a natural home base for newer golfers. Tee times are bookable through the City of Toronto's golf booking system.
Also operated by the City of Toronto, Humber Valley runs along the Humber River valley in central Etobicoke. It is a walkable, well treed layout that regulars consider one of the best value municipal rounds in Toronto. Expect it to be busy on summer weekends, so book ahead.
Threaded along Mimico Creek near Pearson Airport, Royal Woodbine offers a championship length parkland experience on Etobicoke's northern edge. Minutes from the airport hotels and the 401 and 427 interchange, it gets a lot of business golf and regularly hosts corporate events and tournaments. This course is open to the public and offers private membership.
Another City of Toronto course, Scarlett Woods sits near Jane and Eglinton where the Humber winds past the east side of the borough. It is a shorter, quicker round than anything else on this list, which makes it a favourite for beginners, juniors, and anyone squeezing in a round before dinner. Green fees are among the friendliest in the city. We called it Etobicoke’s best kept secret in an earlier post, and we stand by that.
A few practical notes from playing (and selling homes) around these courses for years:
Here is the part we see every day as Etobicoke real estate brokers: proximity to these courses genuinely shapes the local housing market. Streets bordering St. George's, Islington and Markland Wood carry what we call a Fairway premium. Buyers pay for green views, mature trees, and the quiet that comes from backing onto protected land.
If you are house hunting in Etobicoke and golf is part of your lifestyle, it is worth targeting these pockets early. Inventory near the courses is limited and turnover is low, and homes often sell before casual buyers ever notice them.
Etobicoke has a course for every game, from one of North America's oldest clubs to a city-run nine that costs less than dinner out.
