Bootleg Gap offers a little taste of everything, and the result is a 7,157-yard track that's become a popular hangout for locals and is also frequented by value-seeking out-of-towners.

With towering pine trees separating most of the holes at Golden Golf Club, you'll seldom see another group. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll have the course all to yourself.

On Green Gables Golf Club's tree-lined front nine, it can feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.

Locating a golf course near a major airport isn't entirely unheard of, but it's rare for that type of layout to have the appeal of Royal Woodbine. This Michael Hurdzan design manages to achieve the seemingly impossible: It's a well-struck drive from Pearson International Airport in Toronto but located on land that, for the most part, has a mature, parkland feel. Throw in a few intriguing risk-reward holes, a healthy dose of water and even a few elevation changes, and you would be excused for wondering where the jets buzzing above are going to land.
