Summit Golf and Country Club Richmond Hill

The perfect mix of classic and modern.

That’s Summit—a course that is playable for everyone but still challenging for the best players while offering an enjoyable and occasionally joyous walk.

Summit’s pedigree of golf architects has few rivals within Canada. Started by George Cumming, the legendary Scottish golf pro who worked most of his 50-year career as the Head Professional at Toronto Golf, the course was altered by Stanley Thompson, the dean of Canadian golf designers. In recent years, Doug Carrick, perhaps Canada’s finest modern golf designer, rebuilt greens and reconfigured several holes, en route to presenting the best version of Summit yet.

Ranked highly in SCOREGolf’s Top 100 in the country, it is the ambition of the members to make Summit the No. 1 club for golfers in the country. That means making the golf course the central focus of the club, and in recent years architect Doug Carrick has undertaken an ambitious restoration of the club’s greens, making them among the best in Canada.
