Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name TRACK
From The Tee The first hole is the longest hole on the golf course. This par five is difficult to reach in two, except for the longest of hitters.
From The Fairway Concerns begin with an “out of bounds” on the right and bunker located on the left side of the fairway which often catches errant drives. Further along on the left about 150 yards short of the green is a series of grassy mounds.
On The Green Getting your ball out of here onto the green is not easy. Guarding this sloping green are deep bunkers on the left and right. A tough green to putt on, especially from above the hole.
Hole 2
Hole Name TOO SOON
From The Tee This hole is made for long irons, but be careful, it is probably the toughest par three at Scarboro.
From The Fairway During the 1987 CPGA, it yielded only 30 birdies in 354 rounds.
On The Green A hazardous gully lies to the right of the green combined with bunkers on either side. As everything kicks right, even shots that land on this large green can find themselves in the right hand bunkers.
Hole 3
Hole Name OLD ELM
From The Tee
From The Fairway A relatively easy, short par four. The only potential problem between the tee and this elevated green is a large tree on the left side of the fairway approximately 215 yards out. Basically the hole is a drive and a short iron.
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name DEVIL'S LEAP
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green A remarkable par three. A long iron shot is required from an elevated tee into a huge green guarded by Highland Creek and three traps on the right and trees on the left. Scarboro`s “signature” hole is truly picturesque.
Hole 5
Hole Name KNOLL
From The Tee According to Nick Weslock, one of Canada`s great amateur golfers, this hole represents one of the best par fours on the continent.
From The Fairway In order to master Scarboro`s toughest par four, a right to left drive must be made over the Highland Creek which then veers down the left side of the fairway.
On The Green Trees protect the right side. The green is designed to accept any kind of shot.
Hole 6
Hole Name NARROWS
From The Tee A reachable par five, perhaps even Scarboro`s most forgiving if you hit your drive perfectly straight.
From The Fairway During the 1987 CPGA many eagles and birdies were recorded. Basically a drive, three wood and sand wedge, but keep away from Highland Creek on the left side of the fairway.
On The Green
Hole 7
Hole Name GRAY'S ACE
From The Tee The shortest par four on the golf course that can be driven, as did the Legendary Bob Gray when he “Aced” this hole.
From The Fairway Players usually hit their drive short of the two bunkers that guard the green, followed by a wedge.
On The Green If the pin is in the front of this elevated, two-tiered green, there will be more fives on the score card than one would expect.
Hole 8
Hole Name HOG'S BACK
From The Tee Trouble starts for this par four on the tee, where a high ridge blocks any view of the green.
From The Fairway A drive to the right/centre is mandatory. A drive on the left of centre and you will be in Highland Creek. An excellent drive landing on the down slope often kicks far to the left and into the rough bordering the creek.
On The Green The creek then crosses the fairway in front of the green. A small well trapped green awaits shots which should be high and soft.
Hole 9
Hole Name STEEPLE
From The Tee A par four which demands an accurate drive through a chute.
From The Fairway A hole that is not narrow, but rather sneaky tight. A birdie with a short iron awaits the player whose drive finds the fairway.
On The Green
Hole 10
Hole Name BACK TRACK
From The Tee A par five that is reachable in two for the longest hitters.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is sloped from left to right. Catch the bunker on the right side of the green and bets are that you will not get it up and down.
Hole 11
Hole Name WEDGEWARD
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green Though many a dream of aces and birdies have been fulfilled by this par three, miss the green surrounded by bunkers and you will be grateful for par
Hole 12
Hole Name TWO RIVERS
From The Tee “Two Rivers” more affectionately known today as “Double Trouble”, has humbled many good players.
From The Fairway The “big hitter” who can carry it 265 yards from an elevated tee will be rewarded with two river crossings out of the way and a nine iron or wedge as their second shot.
On The Green Normally, your drive will be short of the second creek, followed by a long iron into a well trapped green.
Hole 13
Hole Name HIGHLANDS
From The Tee From the tee, this par four offers a beautiful view of Scarboro`s Kentucky Blue Grass, UPHILL ALL THE WAY.
From The Fairway Once your drive has landed on top of the hill, a mid iron should carry you to an elevated green.
On The Green If however, the wind is blowing from the east, a long iron is a must.
Hole 14
Hole Name ARNIE'S CHOICE
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green Standing on this elevated tee, with the small green below, bunkers on both sides, and a long iron in your hands, you will be very happy with a par on this hole.
Hole 15
Hole Name HEADING HOME
From The Tee
From The Fairway A fairway wood or a long iron to an elevated fairway followed by a wedge to a severely elevated green will be what most players will use.
On The Green Although, this is a short par four, and may seem easy, trouble can be found in the bunker placed directly in front of the green. This hole has a reputation of being either a soft touch or a disaster.
Hole 16
Hole Name RAVINE
From The Tee Another par four that can be driven but should not be tried.
From The Fairway
On The Green The hole is sneaky tight with trees on either side. The better players hit a long iron off the tee and then a short iron to the green.
Hole 17
Hole Name HORSESHOE
From The Tee Dog-leg left par four from yet another panoramic elevated tee.
From The Fairway A player must hit over the Highland Creek twice to get home.
On The Green Driver or three wood off the tee and then a short iron. A beautiful and subtly tricky hole.
Hole 18
Hole Name CROSSING
From The Tee This hole is unique in that it crosses Scarborough Golf Club Road.
From The Fairway Drives must carry uphill to a plateau. Trees line both sides of the fairway. Mid to short iron is required to hit the elevated, well trapped green.
On The Green As with all the greens A.W. Tillinghast designed, if you end up above the hole, you pay the price.
