Hamilton Golf and Country Club - South Course

Ancaster, Ontario

Designed by Harry Colt in 1916, the South Course at Hamilton Golf and Country Club is one of the most important Golden Age layouts in Canada. Colt's masterful routing through the Niagara Escarpment uses natural terrain with understated genius — dramatic elevation changes, flowing green contours, and strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful play over brute force. Hamilton hosted the Canadian Open numerous times and remains one of Canada's premier championship venues.
