Pickering Glen Golf Club

Pickering Glen Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course situated in Pickering, Ontario, east of Toronto in Durham Region. Opened in 1968 under the name Glen Cedars Golf Club, it has operated on the same 150-acre property for more than five decades, giving the layout a maturity that younger courses rarely match.

The course plays to 6,204 yards across rolling terrain threaded with natural waterways and established foliage. The parkland setting means tree-lined corridors define most holes, rewarding accurate driving and leaving little room for wayward shots to escape unpenalized. The combination of elevation changes and water features adds strategic variety without leaning on artificial difficulty.

At par 72 and just over 6,200 yards, Pickering Glen sits in a range that suits a broad spectrum of golfers — long enough to test single-digit handicappers who stray off line, yet approachable enough that mid- and high-handicappers can work through the round without losing the round shape entirely. The mature tree canopy also makes it a comfortable warm-weather option when shade is a priority.

Pickering itself sits along the north shore of Lake Ontario and is well connected to Highway 401, making Pickering Glen a practical stop for road trippers moving between Toronto and points east along the 401 corridor, or for those building a multi-course itinerary through Durham Region.
