Founded in 1921, Highland Country Club holds a respected place in London's private golf community — one of the city's oldest clubs and a course that has shaped the competitive golf culture of southwestern Ontario for over a century. The layout reflects its era, with a routing that rewards strategic thinking over raw power, and a character built through decades of member play, green committee debates, and the slow refinement that only time can bring to a private course.
London sits in the heart of Ontario's agricultural southwest, a mid-sized university city with a genuine golf tradition and enough precipitation to keep its fairways lush through a proper four-season climate. Highland's grounds carry the mature tree cover you'd expect from a course of this age, with canopied holes that shift the challenge from season to season as conditions change.
The par of 70 signals a course that leans on precision and course management rather than length — a design philosophy common to Golden Age layouts where tight angles, ground game, and local knowledge matter more than the driver.
