Located in Thornhill, Ontario, Uplands Golf & Ski Club offers a unique combination of golf and skiing activities for all ages. Established in 1922 by renowned Golf Course Architect Stanley Thompson, Uplands Golf Club was originally an eighteen-hole private course. However, due to urban development in the late 1980s, it was reduced to a nine-hole gem nestled in the heart of the city.
Despite the changes over the years, Uplands Golf & Ski Club has maintained its classic Stanley Thompson design, giving golfers the opportunity to play on a piece of golfing history at a reasonable price. The nine holes wind through a forested valley, providing players with stunning scenery and challenging gameplay. Notable holes include the fourth and eighth, which are considered some of the most spectacular par threes in Southern Ontario.
On the skiing front, Uplands offers a vertical drop of approximately 100 feet and slopes of varying difficulty, making it an ideal learning environment for beginners, especially children. Certified instructors use effective teaching methods to help skiers and snowboarders of all ages develop their skills and confidence on the slopes.
In addition to golf and skiing, Uplands Golf & Ski Club also offers leagues, tournaments, kids camps, and programs for both activities. The club features a full-service restaurant where visitors can relax and refuel after a day on the course or the slopes.
Membership options are available for those looking to make Uplands their regular golfing or skiing destination. With a Multi-Course Membership, members can enjoy no-charge play at GolfNorth courses of equal or lower prices and receive a 25% discount on green fees for higher-level courses. Additional add-on programs, such as seasonal cart use and pull cart rentals, are also available for convenience.
Whether you're a golf enthusiast, a skiing novice, or simply looking for a picturesque setting to enjoy outdoor activities, Uplands Golf & Ski Club offers a unique experience that combines history, natural beauty, and recreational fun.
