Wow; in the first round of the Canadian
Open, Hunter Mahan shot a nine-under-par 62...and that included two bogeys.
You can bet that wouldn't have happened if the
tournament was being played at nearby Lionhead Golf Club, as it is home to one
of the toughest courses in North America, and certainly the toughest one you
can play on a Toronto, Ontario golf vacation.
There are two golf courses at Lionhead, Legends
and Masters. Legends stretches to 7,198 yards and plays to a brutal slope
rating of 153. The USGA's scale only goes up to 155.

 They're not making getaways like this anymore, anywhere. The
Briars Resort began welcoming guests to the south shore of Lake Simcoe during
the late 1800's. The hospitality shown back then in the Manor House now
includes lakeside and golfview cottages, an inn, indoor and outdoor pools, land
and waterfront activities and a state-of the-art spa. A scenic patio, dining,
evening entertainment and the Red Barn Theatre round out the resort experience. Only an hour from Toronto, The Briars is an
easy getaway, or a great destination if you're coming from afar.

 One of North America's most prolific, yet underrated golf
course architects has now brought his design magic to a Canadian course we can
all play. Rees Jones, known to many as the "Open Doctor" for his modernizations
of classic major championship courses, also redesigned the courses being used
for BOTH the Bell Canadian Open and last summer's Canadian Women's Open this
summer, and this year's President's Cup. But those are all private courses. The
recently opened Rees Jones Course at Grand Niagara Resort in Niagara Falls is
open to all of us looking for unique golf adventure.
