Lionhead Golf and Country Club in Brampton, Ontario isn't shy about boasting its Legends Course as Canada's most difficult course. Golfers here are strongly encouraged to play the golds or blues, both still a formidable test. Architect Ted Baker simply says he intended to design the course where "par is elusive.
If you go to Toronto to play golf, odds are you'll end up at Glen Abbey Golf Club anyway. But if you're on the fence, the on-site Royal Canadian Golf Association Museum pushes it over the edge, Larry Olmsted writes in his Beyond the Course column. It's on par with the museums at Valderrama, St. Andrews and Pinehurst but only costs about as much as one Titleist.
There are two golf courses at Lionhead, Legends and Masters. Legends stretches to 7,198 yards and plays to a brutal slope rating of 153. The USGA's scale only goes up to 155.
