Preppy Dad? Tie on those spiky shoes and hit some balls at this premier Markham golf club, just a short jaunt out of the city. The club is private but open to non-members, so you’ll have no trouble swinging a quick nine-hole twosome or 18-holes with the whole fam. Choose from either the North or South course or just whack a few at the Angus Glenn driving range. Top off the sun-soaked day with an afternoon cocktail on the patio of the gleaming main lodge or dinner at the club restaurant, The Silo Grill.
It’s one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the country, and the staff have worked hard at extending the quality everywhere, including the practice facility. You can practice your long swing from mid-afternoon to mid-evening, choosing either a small (35 balls) or large (70 balls) bucket to hit. The atmosphere is intense here, so dress appropriately and prepare yourself to really work hard on all aspects of your game.
