With a small membership and two distinct nines, Beacon Hall has garnered a reputation as a player’s course – and with good reason. This exclusive and prestigious private club – with just over 200 members – is located in a gated community a half-hour north of Toronto.
The front nine plays off a ridgeline and down into a forested area where designer Bob Cupp has expertly utilized the natural landscape to create a wide variety of holes – from the short uphill par-4 second, to the dramatic and challenging ninth, with its daunting tee shot.
Starting on the 10th hole, Beacon Hall, takes on the look of a links, becoming more open, with fairways bounded by fescue. The change in the aesthetic is jarring, but the final nine features some of the course’s strongest holes, including the 16th, a 223-yard par-3 over a valley to a plateau green that allows no room for error. The course concludes with an uphill par-4 to a green resting in front of the clubhouse. It is a bit of a climb to the final putting surface, but by that time golfers are usually so enamored of Beacon Hall’s masterful strategies that they hardly notice.
