Golf: How many rounds you play in a day will be entirely up to you

  We invite you to join us in Oakville to experience the many fine golf courses that are conveniently located in the Town and the surrounding area. Oakville is home to Royal Canadian Golf Association, the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and the renowned Glen Abbey Golf Course.

Glen Abbey Golf Club will be remembered for years as the site of "The Shot of 2000" — Tiger Woods' 218-yard 6-iron from a fairway bunker on the 18th hole to set up the birdie that clinched the Canadian Open and the Triple Crown. (Tiger's Triple included his victories in the 2000 U.S., British and Canadian Opens.) Canada's No. 8 ranked golf course is open to anyone wishing to retrace Tiger's historic steps and challenge Jack Nicklaus' first solo design. Opened in 1976, Glen Abbey is held in high esteem by Tour players for its difficulty — 7,112 yards, slope 140 from the black tees — but it is surprisingly accommodating from the shorter tees.
