Director of Golf: Mississaugua Golf & Country Club

Mississaugua Golf and Country Club (MGCC), founded in 1906, stands as one of Canada’s most prestigious golf clubs, renowned for its stunning valley golf course and elegant Tudor Clubhouse. The private year-round club offers a rich heritage combined with modern amenities, including golf, curling, tennis, fitness, and a range of dining options. With a diverse membership of 1,500, MGCC’s Tier One golf course is consistently recognized for excellence, ranking in the Top 50 in Canada by SCOREGolf magazine and among the Top 1,000 globally in the Rolex Guide. The club hosts approximately 28,000 rounds of golf annually and has been the venue for several prestigious events, including multiple Canadian Opens and the upcoming 2025 CPKC Women’s Open Tournament.

In addition to its championship golf course, MGCC features an extensive practice area, clinics for all skill levels, and off-season simulators. The club is committed to environmental conservation, having received the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Certification. With annual revenues around $13 million and a staff of up to 220 during peak seasons, MGCC prides itself on providing a first-class experience in a welcoming atmosphere. Its inclusive culture fosters a sense of camaraderie, making it a true "home away from home" for its members and their families.

The Club is dedicated to continually enhancing its golf course and property. Currently, a tee renovation project is underway. Recently, our members have also enjoyed the beautifully renovated dining patio, which has elevated their dining experience. Over the past three years, significant improvements have been made to our tee complexes, focusing on expanding tee areas, regrassing surfaces, installing curbing, and enhancing the aesthetics of the cart paths.
