Oakdale Golf & Country Club is a member-owned, 27-hole Stanley Thompson/Robbie Robinson-designed, full service, private golf club.  Located on the north end of Toronto, this is a classic golf and country club in an urban setting, offering family-oriented activities year-round. The membership has come to expect the highest standard of conditioning that can be enjoyed by a wide range of golfers from juniors to touring professionals.

Oakdale Golf & Country Club has had only four superintendents during its 94-year history. This speaks highly of the special relationship the superintendent enjoys with the Club and its members.
