The Toronto Hunt Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play The Toronto Hunt Club as a visitor, or is it strictly members-only?

The Toronto Hunt Club is a highly exclusive, private club, so you won't be able to book a tee time as a walk-in visitor. Your best bet is to be invited by an existing member; that's the only way to experience this historic course firsthand. If you know a member, absolutely take them up on the offer - it's a rare treat.

What's the signature experience like at The Toronto Hunt Club, especially its unique cliffside layout?

You'll find a truly unique experience here, playing along the Scarborough Bluffs with incredible views of Lake Ontario on several holes. The course isn't long by modern standards, but its tight fairways, elevation changes, and the ever-present wind off the lake demand precision and strategic thinking. It's a classic, old-school layout that truly tests your short game.

When is the ideal time of year to experience The Toronto Hunt Club's course conditions and views?

We recommend aiming for late spring, typically May to early June, or early fall, from September through early October. During these periods, the weather is usually perfect-crisp but comfortable-and the course conditions are at their absolute prime. You'll avoid the summer humidity and enjoy the best views without the chill of late fall.

Beyond the golf, what makes the Toronto Hunt Club's overall atmosphere and amenities stand out?

The club's rich history and old-world charm are palpable the moment you step onto the grounds; it feels like a step back in time. The clubhouse offers exceptional dining with those same stunning lake views, making the post-round experience just as memorable as the golf itself. It's a full-service, elegant retreat where you can truly unwind.

How challenging is The Toronto Hunt Club for different handicaps, and what should I prepare for?

Don't let the yardage fool you-this course is a fantastic test for all handicaps, especially if you're not used to playing on a cliffside. The tight fairways, strategic bunkering, and the constant threat of the lake demand accuracy off the tee and smart course management. Prepare for some tricky lies and bring your A-game with your irons.
