Golf Digest ranks Caledon Country Club as one of the best places to play!
Caledon Country Club has been designated one of the best courses to play in 2008 by over 20,000 Golf Digest readers. According to the publication, “this nice, little course is still a challenge, and you can blame it on the hills. Take a cart the first time you play because it’s very hilly. Aim for the 150-yard markers to make it a little easier”.

Golf Show Web Site >

The Toronto Golf & Travel Show gave those who attended a tease for the season ahead and we were delighted to see so many friendly faces at the show. There are some definite trends in golf this year, and it seems much of the buzz is about playing “trails” in the province of Ontario.

We’re delighted to be part of the Headwaters Golf Trail again this year, and encourage you to join the Trail for a chance to win some great prizes, including a 2008 Headwaters Golf Trail season pass! If you and your friends are interested in completing the Trail in one fell-swoop, we’ve partnered with the Millcroft Inn & Spa and the new Best Western Inn & Suites in Orangeville on some great accommodation packages.

As the snow melts from the fairways and greens, we look forward to seeing you at the Club very soon!

Golf Trivia

Natural objects which can be easily moved are known as impediments, but natural objects such as trees or bushes are considered hazards and must either be played around or a penalty must be taken.

You are the sole judge of whether your ball is unplayable, and it is up to you whether you try to play or accept a penalty.

Everyone has a different opinion of golf: Mark Twain referred to golf as a way of spoiling a good walk!

The rubber-core golf ball was invented by Coburn Haskell in 1901.

A “mashie” was a wooden-shafted, pre- 20th century club, that most resembles today’s 5-iron.
