General Manager: Ladies' Golf Club of Toronto

Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto is one of the most distinctive private clubs in North America—founded in 1924 by PGA Pro and champion golfer Ada Mackenzie and created by women, for women. Built on the belief that remarkable things happen when women gather to play, learn and enjoy golf, the Club has spent a century cultivating a warm, welcoming, and empowering community. The celebrated Stanley Thompson course winds along the East Don River, offering a beautifully natural and strategic layout just under 6,000 yards. Its rolling fairways, challenging greens, and thoughtful design make it a cherished home for both competitive and social golfers. This is a club with history, heart, and purpose.
