Uplands -- A Stanley Thompson Golf Course

Right -- First Green

Uplands first opened in 1922 as an eighteen hole private course.

In 1989, urban sprawl engulfed half of the course and it became a nine hole course in the middle of the city.

Of the nine holes eight reflect Thompson's design and the course is still a treasure (the sixth hole is modern). As Canada's greatest golf course designer -- a world leader in the first half of the last century -- Stanley Thompson created golf courses enjoyed for nearly 100 years.
