Mississaugua Golf & Country Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mississaugua Golf & Country Club is a mixed club featuring an 18-hole championship golf course, curling facilities with six sheets, pro shop and lounge, tennis courts and an active bridge club. It was founded in 1906 and is located in south-central Mississauga, Ontario (the spelling difference between the names of the city and the club is intentional).
The course started as 9 holes, architected by Percy Barrett of the Lambton Golf Club. In 1909, the course was expanded to 18 by George Cumming from the Toronto Golf Club, and in 1919 Donald Ross made several revisions. The course was lengthened by Stanley Thompson in 1927, to prepare for the 1931 Canadian Open championship. It currently plays to par 72, measuring 6,608 yards from the gold tees.
Mississaugua Golf & Country Club has hosted the Canadian Open professional men's championship six times;
- 1931, Winner: Walter Hagen
- 1938, Winner: Sam Snead
- 1942, Winner: Craig Wood
- 1951, Winner: Jim Ferrier
- 1965, Winner: Gene Littler
- 1974, Winner: Bobby Nichols
The club has also hosted many Canadian amateur, womens' and senior tournaments.
