About the Course
Ranked among Canada's top 20 public courses, Eagles Nest Golf Club earned recognition as Ontario's #1 Public Course and Canada's #2 Public Course by Score Golf in 2008, consistently appearing on national best-course lists. Located north of Toronto, this dramatic layout conquers players with its Scottish highland links character and extreme elevation changes, establishing itself as one of Ontario's most challenging public venues. The signature 8th hole, a 164-yard par-3, offers a panoramic view of Toronto's downtown skyline from an elevated tee, with the green encircled by six sod-faced bunkers and multi-tiered surfaces demanding precise control on the downhill shot. The 3rd hole plunges 80 feet from tee to green, delivering one of Ontario's most spectacular elevated tee shots. The par-5 17th features split fairways, water hazards, and desert-style waste bunkers, earning its reputation as the course's toughest challenge. Rolling sand dunes, deep pot bunkers, wild fescue areas, and unpredictable winds ensure every round remains filled with uncertainty.
