Bushwood Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Bushwood Golf Club for ideal conditions?

We always recommend late spring, specifically June, or early fall in September for Bushwood. You'll find the course in peak condition, with lush fairways and greens, and the Canadian weather is usually perfect-warm but not sweltering. Plus, you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and enjoy a more relaxed pace.

What should I expect from Bushwood's layout-is it a walk in the park or a true test?

Bushwood is definitely a true test, especially if you're not precise off the tee. The course features some surprisingly tight tree-lined fairways, particularly on the back nine, which demand accuracy over brute force. Don't let the scenic Canadian backdrop fool you-it's a thinking golfer's course.

What's the one hole at Bushwood Golf Club that truly stands out?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th at Bushwood, aptly nicknamed "The Gorge." It's a dramatic downhill shot over a deep ravine to a well-guarded green, often playing into a tricky crosswind. Take an extra club and aim for the front-left; anything short or right is gone.

Is Bushwood Golf Club worth the green fee, and what's the typical cost for a round?

We think Bushwood offers excellent value for a premium Canadian golf experience; expect to pay in the $120-$180 CAD range for 18 holes, depending on the season and time. For the immaculate conditions, challenging layout, and stunning natural scenery, it's a price we're happy to pay every time.

Any practical tips for making a day trip to Bushwood Golf Club from a major city like Toronto?

If you're coming from Toronto, plan for about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive, depending on traffic, so leave early to beat the rush. We always book our tee time well in advance, especially on weekends, and grab a post-round poutine at "The Chip-In" snack bar-it's a local institution.
