Situated at 15058 Elginfield Road RR #3 in Granton, The Fox Golf Club delivers a true 18-hole links-style experience just north of London. The layout plays to roughly 6,500 yards from the back tees (Par 72) and presents generous fairways, undulating greens, and hazards that reward thought as much as execution.
What you’ll notice right away is the blend of accessibility and test: from the tee you’ll see wide driving lanes, but the approach shots ask for precision—greens are firm, often sloped, and bunkers are placed where they’ll make you pay for hesitation. The course is described as “challenging yet delightful for golfers of all levels.”
Practice facilities at The Fox support full game improvement: there’s a 350-yard driving range, chipping and putting zones, a pro shop, and full service restaurant and bar on-site.
The atmosphere strikes a nice balance: you get clubs and carts, tournament-friendly infrastructure, and comfortable surroundings without feeling overly formal. Leagues, junior programs and special rates (like senior days) add to the appeal for many golfers.
In short: If you’re looking for a well-rounded round within reach of the GTA, The Fox offers variety, solid conditioning and the kind of layout you’ll walk off thinking about one or two holes where you could have done better (or will next time).

I didn’t think so. But I wanted to prove it with actual numbers.
So I dug in. National Golf Foundation reports, concert ticket data, NFL cost analyses, streaming price histories. The full picture. And what came back surprised even me – golf isn’t just holding its own against other entertainment options. In a
