About this course
Summit Golf and Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape of Richmond Hill, is a testament to Canadian golf’s enduring appeal. Born in the mid-20th century, Summit presents a mature, parkland-style layout, its tree-lined fairways demanding strategic shot-making rather than brute force. The course favours players who can shape the ball, navigate subtle doglegs, and read greens with old-school character. Designed by renowned Canadian architect Robbie Robinson, the course has seen subtle enhancements over the years, preserving its original intent while adapting to modern equipment. While Summit hasn’t hosted major professional championships, its meticulously maintained grounds and challenging design have made it a sought-after venue for regional amateur events. Summit maintains a respected position among Ontario’s established clubs. Its membership, drawn from the surrounding community, fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it a haven for those seeking camaraderie alongside competitive golf. The club is known to maintain a full membership with a lengthy waitlist - as generations of families look to Summit as their premier golf destination north of the city.
