Every list on GCA inevitably contains American and some courses from the British Isles. I rarely see courses noted outside that group and perhaps these Canadian courses aren't up to the snuff of those listed here. But I figured I'd give a quick list a few of my favourites under $85 CAD (that's like $55 for those who are south of the border, cheaper if you are from the UK even).




Waterton Lakes (Thomson/Thompson - Alberta) - $67


Waskesiu (Thompson - Saskatchewan) - $83
Cooke Municipal (Cooke - Saskatchewan) - $66


Tarandowah (Hawtree - Ontario) - $80
Lakeview (Strong - Ontario) - $82


Grand Mere (Travis/Allison - Quebec) - $76


Just over $100 I would throw a vote behind Kawartha Golf Club (Thompson - Ontario) - $115 peak rate as an unaccompanied guest.


Alex-As the soon to be 51st state there will be more eyes on Canada’s lineup shortly. ;D


Oddly, I was just thinking about how many of our courses would make the US top 100 if this ever happens. I suspect the "big 8"  - Thompson's 5, Toronto, and the two Cabots - would make the cut, but I'm not sure a ninth would sneak in, unless Hamilton reverses the damages inflicted from the recent butchering via Mackenzie and Ebert

Bethpage Black for $75 in state is incredible value. Even at $150 OOS it's pretty good for a major championship venue.
I think the value would be the Red. That's a really good course. What are they charging residents? $50?
Last Summer I was fortunate to play two great value municipal courses on either side of pond in the same week; Bethpage Red (straight off the plane into JFK, jumped onto the LIRR from the Airport transit and out) and then post my flight home similarly at Queens Park (Bournemouth).
Both were incredible value with great routings and architecture.
