Hamilton Golf and Country Club

Hamilton Golf & Country Club, or Ancaster as it is known locally, is located on land that was once known as Grange Farm and it is set most beautifully in elegant, heavily wooded seclusion.

There are three loops of nine holes at Hamilton, called South, West and East and the championship layout comprises of the West (front nine) and South (back nine). Although Hamilton’s club history can be traced back to 1894, the West and South were designed as two nine-hole courses by Harry S. Colt and both loops formally opened for play in 1916. Robbie Robinson added the East nine in 1975.

Crafted as a tribute to Harry Colt, who created the original 18 holes at Hamilton, the club’s Short Course uses many of the designer’s concepts. Opened in 2011, the nine-hole course uses Colt’s international designs for inspiration, including Royal Portrush’s famed 16th hole, “Calamity,” as well as the short 10th hole at Pine Valley Golf Club, where Colt consulted.
