Focused on golf, but offering other activities, including tennis, curling and bridge, Mississaugua’s location a very short distance from the QEW highway, makes it a club that’s easily accessible with options for the entire family.

 

At its heart is the club’s golf course, which is ranked in the Top 50 in Canada by SCOREGolf magazine, and in the Top 1,000 in the world in the Rolex Guide.

 

Over more than a century, Mississaugua has been touched by many of the country’s top golf minds. The initial conception for the course belonged to George Cumming, the dean of Canadian golf professionals, and a man behind many of the country’s most historic courses. Cumming, along with golf pro Percy Barrett, created the initial routing for the course, with green alterations suggested by Donald Ross, the legendary architect who created courses like Pinehurst No. 2. But it would be Stanley Thompson who had the biggest impact on the course, rebuilding much of it in 1928. Thompson, the most famous Canadian architect, revamped the course for the 1931 Canadian Open, and though other architects would work on the course in the ensuing decades, the course is largely a product of Cumming’s routing and Thompson’s detail work. In 2007, noted Toronto architect Doug Carrick undertook a complete rebuild of Mississaugua’s greens, bringing agronomic and design consistency to the course. Canadiangolfer.com called the new greens “a remarkable transition.”

 

Additionally history is matched with modern amenities in Mississaugua’s clubhouse, which has been renovated, but with a foundation based on its initial 1912 incarnation. Recent alterations, including the addition of a classic pub and golf simulators during the winter, make Mississaugua the perfect retreat from the demands of everyday life.
