Fanshawe Golf Course

Fanshawe Traditional, a mainstay of London, Ontario golf, offers a classic, unpretentious experience, a course where generations have learned the game and friendly wagers are settled daily. Situated on gently rolling parkland near the Thames River, the course, while not overly long, presents a strategic test through tree-lined fairways and well-guarded greens. It subtly favors a player who can work the ball right-to-left, navigating the doglegs with a controlled draw. Originally designed in the mid-20th century, its layout reflects a design era that emphasizes shot-making over sheer power. While no major championships have graced its fairways, Fanshawe has consistently been a favoured host for regional amateur events and city championships. It is beloved by local amateurs for its playability. Though not a name frequently mentioned among Canada's elite courses, Fanshawe Traditional holds a special place in the hearts of London golfers. It's a place where the focus is on enjoying the game and the company, and many argue the clubhouse burger is the best post-round meal in the city.
