Walter Gretzky Municipal Golf Course is Brantford’s community golf hub — a place built on accessibility and enjoyment rather than intimidation. Named for the father of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, the course carries a legacy of friendliness and local pride.

The facility includes a driving range, putting green, and clubhouse with food service and event space. It’s family-friendly, affordable, and consistently praised for being in great condition given its municipal status.
You won’t find pretense here — just solid, straightforward golf that reminds players why they fell in love with the game in the first place.
