Forest Course



The Forest Course at Emerald Hills Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Stouffville, a town northeast of Toronto in the Oak Ridges Moraine region. The club opened in the 1990s and features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Thomas McBroom, a Canadian architect known for working with the natural landforms of southern Ontario. The Forest Course takes its name from the mature tree cover that defines much of the routing, with fairways carved through wooded corridors and elevation changes characteristic of the moraine's glacial topography. The layout moves through varied terrain, with several holes playing across or along natural valleys and others occupying higher ground with views over the surrounding countryside. Water features appear on multiple holes, typical of McBroom's design approach in this region. The course requires accuracy off the tee given the tree-lined fairways, and the green complexes incorporate contour and bunkering that reward precise approach play. Emerald Hills operates as a private club serving the communities north of Toronto. The facility includes both the Forest and Highlands courses, along with practice areas and clubhouse amenities. The club hosts member competitions and regional amateur events, drawing from the golf community in York Region and the Greater Toronto Area.
The journey to Emerald Hills Golf & Country Club begins at Toronto Pearson International (YYZ), roughly forty-five minutes northwest through the urban fringe before the landscape opens into the rolling countryside of York Region. For those arriving by private aircraft, the nearby Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport (YKZ) offers a discreet alternative, positioning you just twenty minutes from the club's gates. The final drive traces a gentle ascent through the horse country north of Toronto, where manicured estates and mature woodlands signal your arrival at this quietly prestigious enclave in Stouffville - a sanctuary of refined golf and understated elegance set apart from the city's reach.
