Don Valley Golf Course

Don Valley is owned and operated by the City of Toronto, and probably the best of the city courses. It was designed by Howard Watson in 1956, and is a par 71, 6100 yard course from the back tees. It's a parkland course in the classic sense, and in some ways you can see the architect's schooling under Stanley Thompson in a number of the design features. The course gets a lot of play, and the pace is sometimes a bit challenging, but you will enjoy the hilly, tree line routing with elevated tees and raised greens throughout, and very well landscaped. Of course, you'll experience Hallelujah Corner at 12 & 13, the 13th a 152-yard one shotter with water on the left. Conditions can suffer a bit at times due to the amount of play and stress on the course, but overall fairly well maintained.
