HISTORIC, BREATHTAKING AND SMART - All of those words could be used to describe Brantford Golf and Country Club, one of Canada’s most venerated golf courses.

With a stately modern clubhouse and a timeless golf course designed by Nicol Thompson and his brother Stanley, Canada’s greatest golf architect, Brantford has aged to near perfection. The mix of holes offers variety and nuance not regularly seen on other classics. That’s probably why, nearly a century after the firm of Thompson, Cumming and Thompson laid out the initial holes, it remains one of Canada’s golfing jewels.

Great holes at Brantford, from the short 9th hole, which requires precision over power, to the lengthy par four 13th, which expects precision and power. By the time you reach the 18th, a wonderful, snaking par five with a green set next to the hillside below the club’s outdoor patio, Brantford will have tested your game and your imagination.
