TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North)

Overview: The North is the third 18-hole course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, built across the rolling terrain north of Toronto. Doug Carrick designed the original course, using the ridges and valleys left by gravel extraction to create a parkland-style routing. Ian Andrew later led renovation work to make the course suitable for the RBC Canadian Open while keeping it playable to the public. The directory profile keeps the North separate from Heathlands and Hoot, and leaves par and yardage blank because tournament setups change.

History: The North opened with Hoot in 2001, a decade after Heathlands established the property. It was originally known as Toot and formed part of Carrick’s plan for three very different courses in one location. The course’s later partnership with Golf Canada and repeated Canadian Open use have added a national championship layer. Current records describe the North as the tournament course, but its everyday identity remains a public Osprey Valley routing.

Did You Know? Some of the North’s valleys and ridges were created by earlier gravel extraction, and Carrick used those landforms as golf holes rather than filling them into a flat site. The course’s role as an RBC Canadian Open venue then added another transformation through Ian Andrew’s renovation work. It is a rare public course whose design story runs from gravel pit to national championship stage.
