TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley: North

The North Course at TPC Toronto, one of three 18-hole designs at this facility an hour west of Toronto, is a lovely contrast to the British-inspired Heathlands Course and the wild, heavily bunkered, Pete Dye-esque Hoot. All three were built by noted Canadian designer Doug Carrick in the early 2000s. The North carries an almost mountainous feel as the large-scale holes roam across a big, isolated section of land. In 2023, architect Ian Andrew, who was involved in the creation of the TPC courses when he was an associate with Carrick, remodeled the North to prepare if for hosting the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. He opened up the views and connectivity between the holes through smart tree removal, lengthened the yardage to 7,445, tightened fairways in the areas where pros would land their drives, added chipping areas around the greens and shifted bunkers while reducing them in number.
