Pipers Heath Golf Club

Piper’s Heath is a stunning18-hole championship course designed by renowned golf course architect Graham Cooke that’s strategically located in the heart of the Greater Toronto Area.

Golfers will quickly notice that Piper’s Heath is a golf course that’s different from most that are being built today. Cooke has handcrafted a walkable 5,200 to 7,054-yard, par-72 layout that has its own Old World Charm. There is a spiritual quality at Piper’s Heath that connects the ebb and flow of the rumpled landscape from hole to hole.

The journey takes the golfer back to the days of the sport’s first combatants; tight-angled, windswept mounds shelter the course and isolate the golf holes.  Fairways rise and fall and green-site hollows ring the greens; deep, straight-faced bunkers frame greens and hide in unsuspecting corners. True to a links course, square tee boxes, innovative linear bunker lines, wide, generous golf corridors and elegant plateaued greens are all found throughout the site.  Three watercourses thread their way into play adding drama and allure.

Sculptured and grassed, the course both looks and plays as if it were nestled into the sweeping, rugged Scottish Highlands. Four-hundred-year-old ancient Oaks, which Cooke calls “Friendly Giants,” greet golfers along the way. His deep respect for the environment and its ecosystems is reflected in preserved wetlands and meadows that accent the landscape.

Piper’s Heath also features a 20-acre double-ended practice academy with a large two-tiered tee deck for every-day use and a smaller teeing area some 350 yards away at the other end for lessons and larger clinics. Cooke incorporated a series of target greens and traps into the design to allow golfers to focus on their shots. There’s also a chipping green with a sand bunker and a separate practice putting area.
