WESTON GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

From it’s humble beginnings as a four hole golf course begun by four friends in 1909, on the east bank of the Humber River in the small town of Weston, the Weston Golf & Country Club has grown into one of the premiere golf courses in Canada.

In 1914 with the help of the members in building the greens and bunkers, the four holes became nine and the name The Weston Golf Club was established.

After only one year, it was agreed to expand the course to eighteen holes and land was rented from the Wadsworth estate on the west side of the Humber River. In July 1915 the club became a member of The Royal Canadian Golf Association.

In 1920, the opportunity arose to purchase the land instead of renting and the members voted on building a new eighteen-hole golf course designed by the noted Scottish architect, Willie Park Junior.

Weston has hosted many prominent events both in golf and curling. The Canadian Open was held in 1955 with a young Arnold Palmer winning his first tour victory and setting a record that held for many years as the lowest score in Open history. To celebrate our 75th anniversary in 1990, a Skins game was held featuring Arnold Palmer, Mark Calchaveccia, Ray Floyd and Dave Barr.

Throughout Weston’s history, good fellowship has been the goal and the achievement thereof.
