Bayview Golf and Country Club 

It’s difficult to excel at golf if you can’t get a convenient tee time at a local course. Fortunately, that’s not a problem for members of the Bayview Golf and Country Club in Thornhill. If fact, you can play the championship, 18-hole course every day if you’d like. When the weather’s cold or rainy, the indoor golf simulator helps you keep your skills sharp. 

Golf isn’t the only sport offered at Bayview. Six Har-Tru tennis courts are available for play throughout the year. Golf and tennis lessons are also provided if you need a little help taking your game to the next level.

Want to improve your stamina and flexibility? Stop by the club for a yoga or pilates class or hit the fitness centre for a session with the treadmills, free weights, elliptical machines, and strength and cardio equipment. As a member, you can take advantage of personal training services that will help you reach your personal fitness goals. 

Is swimming your preferred activity? You’ll love the heated swimming pool, splash pad, and wading pool at the aquatics complex. Dining at Bayview is a pleasure, thanks to four dining venues that serve a variety of tasty dishes. 

The Thornhill Club

Although it began as a golf club in the 1920s, the Thornhill Club transitioned to an all-season club several decades later. Designed by golf course architect Stanley Thompson, the 18-hole course features subtly breaking greens, elevated tees, and strategic bunkering. If time is an issue, book a tee time at the 9-hole executive golf course instead.

A fitness center, outdoor tennis courts, golf practice area, swimming pool, splash pad, duplicate bridge games, a curling rink, and summer camp programs for the kids round out the Club’s activities and programs. There’s always something to do at the Thornhill Club no matter what the season.

Eight dining rooms offer the ultimate dining experience, whether you’re in the mood for a casual meal or upscale dining. If you’re planning an anniversary party, business meeting, or another event, private dining rooms are available.
