Company Description: HISTORIC. BREATHTAKING. SMART. SOPHISTICATED. FUN.
With a timeless golf course designed by George Cumming, 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.
The club is in the midst of planning large infrastructure improvements in the near future to improve the golf experience for members and their guests.
