WEEKLY COURSES:

WEEK 1: For the week of January 7th: Glen Abbey Golf Club (Oakville, ON)

Welcome to week 1 of the CGL! For this one we will be travelling down the 401 (or Highway 7 depending on traffic) to Glen Abbey Golf Club. This course was finalized to it’s current version in 1975 and was the first solo design by Jack Nicklaus as the permanent home of the Canadian Open in 1976.

See if you can come close to the course record of 62 shot by Greg Norman and John Herrick, or try to re-create what people call “Tiger’s greatest shot ever” on the par-5 18th hole!

WEEK 2: For the week of January 14th: TPC Colorado

Tipping out at a whopping 7,991(!!) yards, this Arthur Schaupeter design in Berthoud, Colorado can be a tough challenge for even the best players on the PGA Tour. A 45-minute drive from Denver, this course is nestled in a quaint community with many outdoor activities to do on top of playing this semi-exclusive golf course.

The par-72 layout takes players on a full tour of the wonderful site with a combination of short and long holes.  Holes playing from elevated ridges with spectacular panoramic views of Longs Peak and the entire Front Range make it obvious to golfers they are at TPC Colorado, while the holes laid out along the beautiful shorelines of the large reservoirs with their stacked-sod pot bunkers and fescue-lined fairways give golfers a sense of the Scottish heritage of the sport.

WEEK 3: For the week of January 21st: Bellerive Country Club (St. Louis, MO)

Week three takes us to the midwest, Town and Country to be specific just west of St. Louis where in 1956, Bellerive Country Club was re-birthed after its move from the former location in 1897.

A course with a long history in golf, Bellerive saw the first ever Sunday final round in the U.S Open (golfers previously played rounds 3 and 4 on Saturday), the names of the winners here will sound quite familiar to the golf fanatics. Gary Player, Nick Price, Camilo Villegas and an amazing Sunday round of 66 by Brooks Keopka to hold off a Sunday charge by Tiger Woods

WEEK 4: For the week of January 28th: Le Golf National (Guyancourt, France)

Our first stop in Europe in the CGL takes us to Paris and Le Golf National. After being the host of the 2018 Ryder Cup, Le Golf National will also be home to the golf event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Albatros (Albatross) Course was the original of the three courses (two eighteen hole courses and one nine hole) with the designer, Hubert Chesneau completely flattening the land in order to create ideal conditions for not only golfers but also spectators and media to also have the best experience possible!

WEEK 4.5:  For the week of February 4th: NO Regular Season Rounds

 We would suggest you use this week to get a practice round in and turn on the putting (Setting Manual-Aimed). It’ll get you ready for the playoffs!

WEEK 5: For the week of February 11th: Medinah Country Club (Medinah, IL)

The host of 5 PGA Tour major championships, one Senior US Open and the 2012 Ryder Cup, Medinah Country Club just northwest of Chicago has seen it’s fair share of history throughout its years. The 54-hole facility has seen many low scores, but none as low as Justin Thomas’ 11-under 61 shot at the 2019 BMW Championship. We can’t wait for you to test your skills on the famed No.3 course, but we won’t be offering the $1.665 million dollars prize that Thomas took home in his record breaking year (unfortunately)

WEEK 6: For the week of February 18th: St Andrews Links Old Course (St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland)

A league is not complete without a stop at the “Home of Golf”. The history of St Andrews goes back to 1552(!!!) and has seen thirty Open Championships played there. The course has tested (and demoralized) even the most historic figures in all of golf (see Bobby Jones 1921 Open Championship) but has also seen Cam Smith shot a tournament low 268, or -20. 

Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about any hazards on the first or last holes, but you might want to avoid one of the 112 hazards from the 2nd to 17th hole. 

WEEK 7: For the week of February 25th: Casa de Campo “Teeth of the Dog” (La Romana, Dominican Republic)

What better place to be in late February than the Dominican Republic. The #1 ranked course in the country and number 27 in the world is the signature design by the legendary Pete Dye. The description given by the course is “Make no mistake, if you dare challenge the Dog it will bite back. But your efforts will be rewarded with 18 jaw-droppingly-beautiful holes—including seven right along the ocean”… Yikes!

Save yourself the $660USD price tag this course has to play and just enjoy it from the comfort of Condor with a pint of Condor and try to make a Condor… See what we did there?!

WEEK 8: For the week of March 10th: Muirfield Village Golf Course (Dublin, OH)

The village that Jack Built. Named after Muirfield, Scotland where Jack won his first of three British Opens, Muirfield Village has been home to the Memorial Tournament since 1976. Nicklaus had been renovating and creating new challenges up until 2020 when he himself said that it would be the “final major renovation of his lifetime”. 

To all of those in the league last year, we apologize that this course was used in week 1. We hope that you have better luck this year (and maybe don’t hit it into the sneaky creeks laid out across the course).

WEEK 9: For the week of March 17th: St. George’s Golf and Country Club (Etobicoke, ON)

We start the season in Canada, we finish the season in Canada. Formerly known as the Royal York Golf Club, St George’s was established in the 1920s in downtown Toronto, funded by money made by the Canadian Pacific Railway. 

This five-time Canadian Open host has twisted fairways and undulating terrain that will test even the best of golfers. Enjoy this last trip down the 401 before we head back to Europe for week 1 of the playoffs!

WEEK 10: For the week of March 24th (PLAYOFFS ROUND 1): Real Club Valderrama (Sotogrande, San Roque, Andalusia, Spain)

The first host of the Ryder Cup in Continental Europe, Real Club Valderrama has seen its fair share of golf lore. With the first two WGC Championships being played there in 1999 and 2000 (won by Mike Weir!), the course is more famous for being the course that hosted the Guinness Book of Records “Fastest Golf Hole” with the team of Raphaël Jacquelin, Alexander Lévy, Grégory Havret and Romain Wattel completing the par-5 4th hole, known as “La Cascada”, in 34.87 seconds making Birdie (also a signature cocktail on our menu. Ask your server for details)
