Golf’s growing popularity in Toronto
Golf continues to grow in popularity in Toronto with a record-high of approximately 248,000 rounds of golf played in 2024. Locals are attracted to the City’s courses because of their affordability, quality and ease of access from transit. Each golf course has its own characteristics, ensuring a unique experience for golfers of all levels.

Reservations and accessibility
Golfers are encouraged to book tee times up to seven days in advance through the City’s website. Rentals are available from the pro shop at each clubhouse. An accessible golf cart is available at Humber Valley at no cost to golfers with mobility needs which can be requested when booking a tee time.

Tee-off times vary throughout the season, with starting times staggered 10 minutes apart. As daylight hours increase, tee times will adjust to accommodate play from dawn to dusk.
