Royal Stouffville Golf Course sits just north of Markham and offers a complete public golf experience with 27 holes: an 18-hole Championship Course and a 9-hole Executive Course. Designed with versatility in mind, the facility accommodates everyone from beginners to seasoned players.
The Championship Course plays to par 71 and measures just under 6,700 yards from the back tees. The routing moves through gently rolling terrain, mature trees, and several ponds that add both beauty and strategy. The Executive Course, at par 34, is shorter but no less engaging, making it perfect for quick rounds or developing golfers.
Greens are fast, fairways generous, and the overall conditioning remains consistent throughout the season. The course’s reputation for strong pace of play and approachable pricing makes it a favorite for league play and public tournaments.
The modern clubhouse features a large patio overlooking the course, with full dining and event facilities. Royal Stouffville’s combination of location, variety, and solid course management has cemented it as one of York Region’s most reliable public golf destinations.
