BraeBen Golf Course, situated in Mississauga’s Heartland community, was designed over 30 years ago, and is perched atop an old landfill. This links style Mississauga golf course not only has great views, but also boasts an excellent layout with an outstanding clubhouse. It seems unusual to be so high up with the ability to see all of Mississauga, but it fits right into the links setting of the course. This allows the wind to whip through the fairways. You could play this course every day and it would never play the same way twice. BraeBen not only offers a great 18-hole layout, but also a 9-hole academy course and a fantastic driving range.  With its grand, striking landforms, sweeping fescue and challenging pot bunkers, the course really suits its name, which is Gaelic for “slope” and “mountain or hill.”

Credit Valley Golf Club in Misssissauga scores as one of the Top 100 golf courses in Canada and has seen its fair share of facelifts, going through three of Canada’s most renowned golf architects (Graham Cook, Stanley Thompson, Robbie Robinson) in its storied history. Fortunately, the end result is a for sure masterpiece. The hallmarks of Credit Valley are its tilted greens, interesting bunkers, plateau fairways, neck openings to greens, and its adherence to the preservation of nature. A parklands style layout, Credit Valley provides both an immense challenge, and colossal beauty. Aside from the golf course, they also offer excellent practice facilities.  Not only is there a Mississauga driving range, but also an enormous practice green to work on your chipping and putting. Inside the clubhouse there is an excellent restaurant, decadent locker room, and even a swimming pool! Credit Valley is more then just a Mississauga golf course, its an experience.

Derrydale Golf Course in Mississauga offers possibly the most unique experience to be found anywhere. For those of you who feel that 9 holes isn’t enough but 18 holes is too many, you’re in luck. Spurred on by a memorable Jack Nicklaus quote, Derrydale has put together a 12-hole Mississauga golf course. The mature par-40 design that brings water into play on 8 of the holes is adorned with 26 bunkers and plenty of trees. With 2010 marking the 40th anniversary of the course opening, the changeover to 12 holes is a new exciting idea that will create a fresh direction for the course. If you’re looking for something a little different aside from your usual 18, consider Derrydale Golf Course.

Lakeview Golf Course, a 2-time Canadian Open host course, is an officially designated Ontario Heritage Site, and has been booking tee times for over 100 years. A parklands style layout, Lakeview is home to large, sloping greens and tons of history.  At its present location since 1907, Lakeview golf course in Mississauga has remained relatively unchanged since hosting the world’s best players back in the ‘30’s. This gorgeous Mississauga course recently received the honor of having its fifth hole, the 591-yard par-5, and the sixteenth hole, a 466 yard par-5 voted as top favorites by GTA residents.  The beautiful design is 6,340 yards in length with a par of 71, which may be short compared to today’s standards; however it is rife with numerous tests around every corner, not making length an issue.

Mississauga Golf and Country Club was founded in 1906 and is easily one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Canada. With tree lined fairways and bunker-guarded greens, this mature course is as tough a test as you will find anywhere.

This Mississauga golf course runs through a heavily wooded area and has well-manicured greens. The Credit River lines the course, coming into play on 5 holes. The signature hole of the course is the scenic 12th, a 532 yard par-5. This hole has an elevated green that is surrounded by willows. In addition to golf, the facility also has a tennis court and curling rink.

Toronto Golf Club was founded in 1876 and is home to 27-holes of Championship golf. Harry S. Colt, a man that has designed over 300 courses, including Wentworth and Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and has worked on extensive redesigns of Muirfield (UK), Royal Liverpool, and Hoylake, designed this 18-hole layout. If that doesn’t excite you, I don’t know what will. The third oldest golf club in all of North America, Toronto Golf & country club is a private Mississauga golf course; however its beauty and maturity are unparalleled. Even just stepping foot on the grounds is an experience. A fantastic look at how golf was played at the turn of the 20th century, the immense bunkering and classical design make for a fun round.  The greens are arguably the toughest part of this course, with peak speeds resulting in a strong challenge. Easily the best part of this course is hands-down, the atmosphere. Not much has changed since opening and you can feel it, there’s that sense of history and elegance that is uncomparable. So if you’re ever given the chance to play at this landmark, don’t pass it up.

27 Hole Mississauga Golf Courses
