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 18-hole layout features open fairways, manageable length, and greens that roll true without punishing casual players. It’s designed to keep the game fun, but still offers strategic touches — water hazards, fairway bunkers, and subtle elevation changes that reward focus.
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.
The first lesson in Golf Course Architecture 101 is that land should dictate design. So it’s no surprise that hall-of-famer Hale Irwin, one of the few players in history to win three U.S. Opens and a prodigious student of the game, would follow that rule to a “tee” at Coyote Crossing in West Lafayette, IN. The award-winning layout fits the property like a well-worn glove.
