A stone’s throw from Lake Simcoe, Cedarhurst Golf Club is one of Durham Region’s most enjoyable parkland layouts. Established in 1922, it’s got history, character, and a routing that’s held up beautifully through the decades.
The fairways are wide enough to be forgiving but framed by mature trees that force you to shape your shots. Water comes into play on several holes, especially down the stretch where risk and reward are perfectly balanced. Greens are firm and true, with subtle slopes that reward precise approaches.
Cedarhurst’s strength is variety. You’ll find reachable par 5s, testing long par 4s, and a set of par 3s that demand both distance control and nerve. It’s a course that never feels repetitive and always keeps you thinking.
The clubhouse is classic Ontario golf - welcoming staff, a big deck overlooking the course, and a community of players who actually know each other by name. The conditioning stays consistent from spring to fall, and pace of play is reliably smooth.
If you’re near Beaverton, Cedarhurst is a must-play. It’s golf that’s honest, traditional, and quietly excellent.
