Centennial Park Golf Center

Centennial Park Golf Center's East Nine occupies part of a larger municipal facility in Etobicoke, a western district of Toronto. Dr. Michael Hurdzan designed the course, which serves as an accessible public option within the Greater Toronto Area's network of municipal golf properties. The facility operates as a practice and play venue managed by the city, catering to golfers across skill levels with an emphasis on affordability and availability. The East Nine plays through relatively flat terrain typical of the Toronto lakefront plain, with mature tree corridors defining many holes. The routing makes use of the available land within Centennial Park's broader recreational complex, which includes sports fields, trails, and other community amenities. Water features and modest elevation changes provide variety, though the overall character remains straightforward and playable. The design reflects Hurdzan's approach to municipal work: strategic interest for better players without intimidating less experienced golfers. As part of a high-traffic public facility, Centennial Park Golf Center emphasizes pace of play and accessibility. The East Nine functions both as a standalone nine-hole round and in combination with the center's other nines for varied eighteen-hole configurations. The course serves Toronto's diverse golfing population, offering a practical option for weekday rounds, junior programs, and casual play without the formality or expense of private club golf.
