Club
History:
In 1896, the High Park Golf
Club was formed. The modest 18 hole course occupied
50 acres along the west bank of Grenadier Pond. Forced
to move by a rapidly growing city, the club relocated
to its present site in the spring of 1907, and in
January 1912 the Directors changed the name to The
Lakeview Golf and Country Club Limited. For the next
two decades Lakeview enjoyed a place at the top of
Canada's golfing community. Lakeview twice hosted
Canada's national tournament The Canadian Open. In
1923 (won by C.W. Hackney) and in 1934 (won by Tommy
Armour).

The turning
point in the Club's history occured on Friday, July
21, 1939 when a fire destroyed its magnificent 30
room clubhouse. The club was purchased privately the
following year and operated semi-privately for the
next 15 years. The Township of Toronto (later The
City of Mississauga) leased the club from 1956 to
1964 and eventually purchased Lakeview Golf Club in
1965. Lakeview Golf Course has since operated as a
pay as you play golf course that the community enjoys
to this day.
