Glen Abbey is one of Canada's most famous golf courses, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1976. It sits in a natural amphitheatre formed by the valley of Sixteen Mile Creek, with the most dramatic holes running along the ravine floor. The closing stretch — holes 11 through 15 — plays down into the valley and back up, and has been the stage for some memorable moments in Canadian golf history.
The course is a public facility, so you don't need to be a member to play. Tee times are available but book up quickly in summer. Even if you're not a golfer, the setting along the creek valley is attractive, and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum is located on the property.
