Parkland Courses in Ontario

Ontario's parkland courses spread across the province from the Niagara Peninsula to the shores of Lake Huron, with this list covering 13 layouts across seven distinct trails. The settings vary considerably: Black Bear Ridge Golf Course in Corbyville stretches to 7,238 yards on a par-72 layout designed by Brian Magee, making it one of the longer tests in Eastern Ontario, while Cedarhurst Golf Club in Beaverton carries the distinction of a Stanley Thompson and Bert Turcotte design, a notable pedigree for a par-70 track in the Kawarthas. In Niagara-on-the-Lake, Royal Niagara Golf Club offers multiple routing options across its Ted Baker–designed courses, convenient for golfers already exploring the Niagara trail. Formats range from a compact 9-hole loop to full 18-hole rounds, and yardages run from under 3,700 yards up past 7,200, so matching a course to ability level is straightforward. Golfers based in Hamilton or the Greater Toronto Area will find several options within a short drive, while reaching the Lake Huron or Eastern Ontario entries requires building a dedicated trip around the destination.
