Courses
Glen Abbey Golf Course has hosted the most Canadian Opens , with 30 to date . Glen Abbey was designed in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus for the Royal Canadian Golf Association , to serve as the permanent home for the championship . In the mid-1990s , the RCGA decided to move the championship around the country , and continues to alternate between Glen Abbey and other clubs . The owner since 2005 , Clublink Corp filed an application in October 2015 [ 6 ] to redevelop the property into a residential community , with offices and retail stores . There was no provision for a golf course in the plan . [ 6 ] The Town of Oakville Council responded in August 2017 by declaring the golf course a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act . This would make it more difficult for ClubLink to develop the area as it had planned . [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Golf Canada was also concerned since it could not predict whether it could get the necessary permit to hold the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in 2018 as it had planned . [ 9 ] The dispute between the Town of Oakville and ClubLink remains before the courts as of November 2018 . [ 10 ] The 2019 and 2023 Open will be held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club . [ 11 ] The event may again be held at Glen Abbey in some future years if the planned redevelopment by Clublink is not allowed to proceed . [ 12 ] Royal Montreal Golf Club , home of the first Open in 1904 , ranks second having hosted the event ten times . Mississaugua Golf & Country Club and Hamilton Golf and Country Club have each hosted six Opens while Toronto Golf Club and St. George 's Golf and Country Club have hosted five Opens . Three clubs have each hosted four Opens : Lambton Golf Club , Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club , and Scarboro Golf and Country Club . The championship has for the most part been held in Ontario and Quebec , between them having seen all but nine Opens . New Brunswick had the Open in 1939 , Manitoba in 1952 and 1961 , Alberta in 1958 , and British Columbia in 1948 , 1954 , 1966 , 2005 and 2011 .
The Canadian Open () is a professional golf tournament in Canada. It is co-organized by Golf Canada (formerly known as the Royal Canadian Golf Association) and the PGA Tour. It was first played in 1904, and has been held annually since then, except for during World War I and World War II. It is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the tour, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. It is the only national championship that is a PGA Tour-managed event.
