Kirby Links Golf Course

Kirby Links Golf Course sits on 61 acres of rolling terrain in Maple, within the city of Vaughan, Ontario. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 54 across 2,909 yards, giving it an average hole length of roughly 148 yards — a format commonly called an executive par-3. The course carries a links-style character, taking its cues from the open, ground-game-friendly layouts associated with that tradition. The property was formerly known as Carrickmacross Golf Centre.

The compact yardage does not mean the course is without variety. Rolling terrain introduces elevation changes that affect club selection and ball flight on what might otherwise seem like straightforward short-iron shots. A links-style layout typically rewards players who can manage trajectory and use the ground as a tool, rather than relying solely on high, stop-it-on-a-dime approach shots.

Kirby Links is well suited to a broad range of players. Beginners and juniors benefit from shorter holes that keep the round manageable and let them work on all aspects of their iron game without the demands of a full-length course. Experienced golfers looking for a focused iron and short-game tune-up — or simply a quicker round — will also find the format useful. The course describes itself as accommodating golfers of all abilities, and the 18-hole structure means a complete round with a proper scorecard, not just a practice loop.

Maple is located in the northern part of the Greater Toronto Area, making Kirby Links accessible to golfers based in Toronto, Richmond Hill, and the broader York Region without a lengthy drive.
