Uplands Golf Club is a compact, tree-lined course tucked into the heart of Thornhill — a rare pocket of greenery minutes from the city. The course is known for its walkability, strong conditions, and smart design that favors accuracy over brute force.
It’s a layout that rewards thinking golfers. The par 4s often dogleg around mature trees, and the par 3s call for precise club selection into subtly sloped greens. Though not long by modern standards, Uplands defends itself with narrow fairways, tight rough, and greens that require confident putting.
Its location and pace make it ideal for after-work rounds or weekend mornings. The course keeps a welcoming, local-club atmosphere — friendly staff, quick check-ins, and consistent pace of play. The clubhouse includes a small pro shop and patio overlooking the 18th green, perfect for post-round recaps.
For golfers looking for a convenient yet serious test within the GTA, Uplands remains a dependable favorite — accessible, classic, and honest golf.

Located a short 45-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Ocean City in Westover, MD, the course offers a reprieve from crowded tee times and vacation pricing. Best of all, it is simply one of the most beautiful golf […]
