Toronto Golf Club

It originated on a parcel of land known as the Fernhill property, which was included within the city of Toronto in the 1900s. The original course was located east of Coxwell Avenue between the railway and slightly south of what is now Eastwood Road and then along a narrow area between tracks and north side of Upper Gerrard Street east to what is now Kildonan Road. In 1909, the Club obtained a new charter without share capital, and the original name of the club, "The Toronto Golf Club", was restored. The following year, it was decided to acquire a new site in Toronto Township, now Mississauga. The old course is now part of the Upper Beaches residential area.^{[citation needed]}

The club is now located on the banks of the Etobicoke River, and its 18-hole course was designed by the renowned English architect Harry Colt.^[1] The course was ready for play in the fall of 1912, and its clubhouse was completed in 1913. In 1919, the Club bought additional land to the north and had a new nine-hole course built which opened in 1921. George Cumming was hired in 1900, at age 21, to serve as head professional and remained in that position for 50 years.^[2] Donovan Fraser is the current Head Professional. Hired in 2024, Fraser took over from Doug Rankin, who was the Professional from 1991 to 2023. John Hunt, Professional 1959–90; Lou Cumming, Professional 1950–59; George Cumming, Professional 1900–50; Arthur Smith, Professional 1895–99.^{[citation needed]}
