Head Golf Professional
The Club
Founded in 1924, Ladies’ is the only private golf club created by women for women in North America. This iconic club provides a community for women who love golf, enjoy fun and camaraderie and share a storied legacy of nearly 100 years. While women enjoy membership, men benefit from our warm and welcoming atmosphere in our guest card holder category. The recent strategic sale of a small piece of the club’s property has positioned the club strongly for the future. Plans for a replacement golf hole, course and practice facility enhancements and clubhouse restorations and renovations are well underway as we continue Ada Mackenzie’s (our founder) legacy and vision.
Golf
The golf course is a Stanley Thompson original. Comprised of 21 holes, members enjoy unique 9 and 18-hole routing. With six tee decks to choose from, the golf course is enjoyable and challenging for every level of golfer. The trademark, small and undulating greens are a Thompson signature that has been well-preserved. Practice facilities include a 200-yard range, short game area, putting green, warm-up nets and a winter academy. The Ladies’ Golf Academy is a busy and integral part our programming designed to not only help students improve but grow the game of golf for women. The full service, well-stocked Golf Shop caters to all of our clientele.
