Golf Course
Our course runs through the heart of our community. Meadowbrook understands this, and strategically allocates our resources to ensure its exceptional maintenance, with an eye to the future.
Over the years we have made significant improvements, prudently updating the golf course’s infrastructure through capital expenditure programs in a continued effort to exceed the expectations of our membership.
Passion
Since its formation, Meadowbrook Golf Club has centered around an a unwavering passion for our sport. This passion is only paralleled by the immeasurable pride our Member-Owned golf community demonstrates for our golf course.
Easily walked, stretching to 7,007 yards and playing to a Par 71 from the tips, our golf course has challenged some of golf's best players in provincial, national and international competitions. From our 3,000 yard "Brooker" family tees, right up to the tips, and with nine sets of tee deck options in-between, there's a comfortable yardage for all levels of play.
Grab your bag, throw it over your shoulder and challenge yourself against our course, time and again.
Practice makes perfect
To complement our championship course, we also feature a tremendous practice facility, with a full-length range, putting and pitching green, practice bunkers, and par-3 pitching area for additional short-game practice. It's a great spot for those just learning our sport to cut their teeth, or for those short on time and looking to get in a few extra swings.
Community
If you are passionate about competition, our Men's and Women's Golf Sections offer a wide range of member-only events, including weekly Men's Nights and Ladies' Day, as well as fun net and gross events for players of all abilities.
Club History
Meadowbrook is formed as a public golf course, designed by Art Latchum.
Meadowbrook becomes private. The 1960s were an era of do-it-yourself, where people improvised, and learned. The founding group of members made many improvements to Meadowbrook using their own labour, resources, and donations. This was the era when the club's foundation was laid and the character of Meadowbrook began to emerge.
Slow but steady growth—that was the second decade of Meadowbrook’s existence. Course improvements were made, including drainage and bunkering. A significant number of trees were planted during this period, leading to the course’s classic parkland appeal.
After making significant strides with its golf course improvements, the Ontario PGA twice utilized the course for its Ontario PGA Championship. Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member Bob Panasik, who won the event in 1985, proclaimed the greens to be among the best he’d experienced.
Meadowbrook hosted more championships, including the Canadian Tournament Players' Championship, won by Ernie Gonzales in 1990. The club also attracted many new members, leading to a large waiting list for entrance to the club. In 1994, Meadowbrook was one of the first golf clubs to change to non-gender membership classifications, allowing both women and men the same privileges for the same price. Unfortunately in late 1997 a devastating fire destroyed a large area of the clubhouse. The clubhouse was redesigned and reopened the following June.
Under the guidance of Montreal-based course architect Graham Cooke, major changes to the championship course and practice areas were implemented. Six holes were lengthened, stretching the course to almost 7,000 yards, and aesthetic changes . Aesthetic changes were made to four holes. The club hosted the Toronto Star Women’s Amateur in 2006 and 2007. A major refurbishment of the clubhouse was undertaken in 2007, and new tees were added the following year to make the course playable by players of all abilities.
Meadowbrook's 50th Anniversary season saw the construction of a new Golf Shop complex. Following the advice of a USGA agronomist several hundred trees were removed to improve the health of tees and greens. The 17th hole was lengthened to 600 yards, with the course now stretching to 7,007 yards. The red tee set was completed, and a forward set of “purple” tees was introduced to enhance the golfing experience of beginner golfers.
Meadowbrook emerged from the COVID pandemic stronger than ever with a full membership and a lengthy waiting list. An extensive patio was constructed on the south side of the club house which has been a huge success with the membership, allowing for post round gatherings in a safe environment. The club renewed its relationship with architect Graham Cooke, who updated the club’s Master Plan, and as a result in 2024 all greenside bunkers were redesigned and rebuilt.
