Donalda Club

Donalda Club occupies a mature property in Don Mills, a planned community in Toronto's northeast corridor. Designed by Canadian architect Thomas McBroom and opened in 1991, the course represents a modern private club development on land that transitions from gently rolling terrain to more pronounced elevation changes. McBroom routed the eighteen holes through corridates of hardwood and conifer forest, creating a parkland character with defined playing corridors and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate shot placement. The layout moves across varied topography, with several holes playing along natural ridgelines and others descending into lower-lying areas. Water features appear on multiple holes, integrated into the design as both hazards and landscape elements. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, providing length alongside the positional demands typical of McBroom's work. Green complexes feature moderate contouring and are protected by bunkers that require thoughtful approach play. Donalda operates as a full-service private club with facilities that include tennis courts and a clubhouse offering dining and social amenities. The membership draws from Toronto's business and professional communities, and the club maintains a low profile consistent with private golf culture in the Greater Toronto Area. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains a well-regarded example of modern Canadian golf course architecture from the late twentieth century.
