Origins

Maple Downs was established in 1954 by Jewish golf enthusiasts who had encountered exclusion from other private clubs in the Toronto area. They created a family-oriented private club and commissioned American architect William F. Mitchell to design its golf course.

Did You Know?
The club's history records continuing membership across generations of several founding families.

Design Philosophy

Mitchell routed the course across the rolling ground of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Ian Andrew's later work has been restoration-oriented, seeking to recover and emphasise characteristics of Mitchell's original architecture rather than replace its fundamental identity.

Development

Graham Cooke and Doug Carrick have both been associated with course upgrades. Ian Andrew later undertook additional restoration work and designed a three-hole short course intended to support practice and junior golf.

Recognition

Maple Downs has appeared in Canadian course-ranking discussions and the club describes itself as a recurring member of Canada's Top 100 lists.

Today

Maple Downs remains a private golf and country club with a full 18-hole course, practice range, short course, instruction and broader clubhouse facilities.
