About this course

Cedarhurst Golf Club sits in Beaverton, a small town on the southern shore of Lake Simcoe in Ontario's cottage country, roughly ninety minutes north of Toronto. Stanley Thompson designed the course in 1922, during the early phase of his career before he created his most celebrated works at Jasper Park, Banff Springs, and Capilano. The layout reflects Thompson's emerging design philosophy, working with natural terrain to create strategic interest rather than imposing artificial features on the land. The course occupies rolling farmland typical of the Lake Simcoe region, with mature trees framing fairways and modest elevation changes providing variety in lies and shot values. Thompson routed the holes to take advantage of natural contours, and the greens feature the subtle undulations characteristic of his work. The property lacks the dramatic topography of Thompson's mountain courses or the bold bunkering of his later Golden Age masterpieces, but it demonstrates his ability to craft engaging golf on quieter landscapes. Cedarhurst has served as a community club for over a century, maintaining its original routing through generations of local golfers. The setting retains a rural, unpretentious character, with views across farmland and glimpses of the lake district beyond. The course offers a window into Thompson's early design thinking and represents a period piece from Canadian golf's formative years, preserved in a region where golf remains closely tied to seasonal cottage life and small-town tradition.

Getting there

The journey to Cedarhurst Golf Club begins at Toronto Pearson International (YYZ), roughly ninety minutes north by car into the lake-studded heart of Ontario's cottage country. The drive traces Highway 404 as it becomes the 48, gradually shedding the urban sprawl of the Greater Toronto Area for rolling farmland and dense hardwood forest, before turning east toward the quiet shores of Lake Simcoe. The final approach winds through Beaverton's modest main street and into increasingly private terrain, where the road narrows and the pines thicken, delivering you to one of Canada's most discreet and meticulously crafted golf sanctuaries.
