The 150th British Open at St. Andrews — the so-called "home of golf" — just wrapped up on Sunday. Now, Golf Canada is hoping to build a similar legacy with the announcement of the "home of Canadian golf" to be built at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon, Ont.
The organization hopes the facility promotes the growth of golf in the country. It's set to feature a community putting green inspired by St.
Andrews, as well as an indoor short game complex that also serves as a national talent identification centre. The organization's stated goal is to "advance 30 Canadians to the LPGA and PGA Tours by 2032." Golf Canada CEO Laurence Applebaum said the site is more than just a physical building. "Culture, collaboration, and innovation are critical elements.
Establishing a new headquarters and a Canadian golf campus with our partners to meet, play, train, plan, celebrate and collaborate, represents a transformative moment to advance the sport," Applebaum said.
