BURLINGTON, ON
Burlington has its name on a new list.
A panel of 101 golfers travelled across the country and judged golf courses on nine criteria.
They ranked 100 golf courses and said that the Burlington Golf and Country Club was # 61 on their list
The course opened in 1924.
Ranked 61st out of 100.
The judges noted that the removal of many trees has made a big difference to the original Thompson design
So much for the urban canopy.
The SCOREGolf Top 100 courses in Canada.
What began as a grading of the country’s top 15 tracks in 1988 grew to a list of 25 in 1990, to 50 in 1994 and 100 by 2000.
Initially the ranking was completed by a small group of mostly golf professionals. Today the ranking is done primarily by public players or private club members.
The list is released every two years.
The Hamilton Golf and Country Club ranked #4
if you look at the picture you can see there are more trees in the golf course property than in the surrounding residential areas. So what’s with the snarky remark about urban canopy?
