Ontario

Designed by Robbie Robinson in the early 1960s, Upper Canada Golf Course is an 18-hole, 6,922-yard public course located in Eastern Ontario.

The fourth hole, a 445-yard par 4, is cited as the most difficult, requiring accuracy over distance to navigate a dog-leg and a humped green. The front nine concludes with the ninth hole, a 410-yard par 4 that offers a large landing area but demands precision to avoid bunkers guarding the right side of the green. The back nine introduces the tenth hole, a 430-yard par 4 ranked second in difficulty, which plays into prevailing west winds and requires a long second shot to a two-tiered green. Signature holes define the character of the course, most notably the fourteenth hole, affectionately known as "The Monster." This 547-yard par 5 is considered the most picturesque hole on the property, with Aultsville Creek guarding the left side and trees lining the right. The hole requires careful strategy, often recommending a fairway wood or long iron to lay up short of the water inlet before a mid-iron approach to the smallest green on the course. The fifteenth hole, a 141-yard par 3, is similarly defined by the creek, which completely surrounds the green along with four bunkers. The eighteenth hole serves as a classic finishing test, measuring 353 yards and playing uphill to a back-to-front sloping green. It is framed by sand traps on either side and a pond to the right, with a large old willow tree standing just beyond the tee.
