Standing on the 10th tee—an uphill par four framed by burnt yellow fescue, with no less than half a dozen sod-faced dunes—one conjures up images of games played long ago on the famed heathlands of Scotland and Ireland. Designed by Doug Carrick (who came to prominence for his work on the Angus Glen South Course and American Jay Morrish, the broad-shouldered layout offers a number of holes similar to the 10th: roomy fairways shaped by grass and sand, with greens that dare you to fly it to the flag, but allow you to bump it along the ground. Of course, there are exceptions. The par threes are all framed in groves of trees native to southern Ontario, and the 18th hole requires a big drive down a wooded canyon that feels claustrophobic after the previous wide-open spaces. The result is that rarest of combinations: golf that is at once demanding and playable, simply fun for just about everyone. The service is positively superb, as are the practice facilities and conditioning. Take time to wander around the luxurious 65,000-square-foot clubhouse and admire old photographs of the impressive thoroughbreds once raised here; the owners of Angus Glen, the Stollery family, had an extensive business in horse breeding before golf became their priority.
