Burlington, ON – Burlington Golf & Country Club welcomes all to the 2023 Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship June 20-22.

Built-in 1922, this beautiful waterfront golf course features 18 holes in a picturesque setting. In 2020 Burlington Golf & Country Club went through extensive renovations to the clubhouse’s interior. Renovations included new lounges, patios, and a dining room. Award-winning Canadian golf course architect, Doug Carrick, reconstructed holes 5, 6, 17, and 18.

Tournament Director John Lawrence had this to say regarding the upcoming event “We’re happy to be coming back to Burlington to one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the Greater Toronto Area, great field of competitors this year.”

Over 500 golfers attempted to qualify for this championship across the province and it will be a fierce competition with several champions in the ranks such as last year’s champion David Lang of Donalda Club defending his title again as well as returning champion Dave Bunker who won in 2007, 2011, 2014. John Monture, the 2022 Indigenous Ontario Championship winner will be competing and one to watch. Round one gets underway Tuesday the 20th, with tee times beginning at 8:00 am, with the afternoon group starting at 1:00 pm.
