City of Toronto golf courses open this week after record-breaking year

The City of Toronto’s five golf courses are opening for the season this week after a record number of rounds were played last year.

The Dentonia Park, Don Valley, Humber Valley, Scarlett Woods and Tam O’Shanter courses will open on Tuesday and operate daily into the fall, weather permitting, the City said in a news release issued Monday.

The launch of the 2023 season comes after a record 225,501 rounds of golf were played on the five courses in 2022, up by 30,500 compared to 2021.

It broke the record of 218,000 rounds played in 2003.
