Want to play the best public golf courses in Canada and save a little money along the way?
Our top 25 list of the best public golf courses and hidden gems from Canada can help guide you.
GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists determines a top 25 by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least two reviews in 2025 to be eligible for this year's list.
We make these lists user friendly. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

How the Rankings Are Determined
Review Requirements
We analyzed nearly 8,500 reviews of Canadian golf courses published on GolfPass in 2025 (until our Dec. 1 cutoff date) to determine the list. Each course needed at least two reviews by real golfers to be eligible.
GolfPass Rating Index
This was created to provide a more accurate indication of a golf course's current overall rating. Newer reviews are weighted heavier than older ones, as are reviews from golfers who leave more reviews. (In this way, they become trusted sources).
Who This List Is Best For

Golfers’ Choice ranks the best golf courses based on real golfer reviews - highlighting prestigious, architecturally significant courses alongside hidden gem public golf courses that everyday golfers genuinely love and recommend.
