Head Teaching Professional

The Club:
Founded in 1924, Ladies’ is the only private golf club created by women for women in North America. This iconic club provides a community for women who love golf, enjoy fun and camaraderie, and share a storied legacy of nearly 100 years. While women enjoy membership, men benefit from our warm and welcoming atmosphere in our guest card holder category. The recent strategic sale of a small piece of the club’s property has positioned the club strongly for the future. Plans for a replacement golf hole, course and practice facility enhancements, and clubhouse restorations and renovations are well underway as we continue Ada Mackenzie’s (our founder) legacy and vision.

Golf:
The golf course is a Stanley Thompson original. Comprised of 21 holes, members enjoy unique 9 and 18-hole routings. With six tee decks to choose from, the golf course is enjoyable and challenging for every level of golfer. The trademark, small, and undulating greens are a Thompson signature that has been well-preserved. Practice facilities include a 200-yard range, short game area, putting green, warm-up nets and an active winter academy. The Ladies’ Golf Academy is a busy and integral part our programming designed to not only help students improve but grow the game of golf for women. The full service,
well-stocked Golf Shop caters to all our clientele.
