About this course
Pickering Golf Club sits in the eastern Greater Toronto Area, serving the town of Pickering and surrounding Durham Region communities since the mid-twentieth century. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Oak Ridges Moraine's southern slopes, where the landscape transitions from elevated ground toward Lake Ontario's shoreline several kilometers to the south. This topography provides natural movement and elevation change across the property. The layout reflects the era's approach to public-accessible golf in Ontario's expanding suburban corridor, with tree-lined fairways and greens that incorporate the land's existing contours. Mature hardwoods frame many holes, and several routing corridors follow gentle valleys and ridgelines shaped by glacial activity. The course serves both recreational golfers and competitive play at the club and regional levels, hosting member tournaments and local amateur events throughout the season. Pickering Golf Club operates as a semi-private facility, balancing member play with public access during designated times. The clubhouse provides standard amenities for post-round gatherings, and the course remains a fixture in the Durham golf community. Its location within the Greater Toronto orbit makes it accessible to golfers from across the eastern suburbs, while the property's setting offers a degree of separation from the surrounding residential and commercial development that has characterized Pickering's growth over recent decades.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), roughly forty-five minutes west along Highway 401, though the smaller Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport offers a more intimate gateway for those approaching from the island terminal. The eastbound drive traces the northern shore of Lake Ontario through Toronto's sprawling eastern suburbs before the landscape softens into the established residential character of Pickering, where tree-lined streets and glimpses of the escarpment signal your arrival into Durham Region. Pickering Golf Club sits tucked within this quiet enclave, its entrance marked by understated elegance - a private retreat that feels worlds removed from the urban corridor you've just traversed, yet remains remarkably accessible to the pulse of Canada's largest metropolis.
