Assistant Superintendent

Oakdale Golf and Country Club Limited is in search of an Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to join our dedicated team. The Assistant Superintendent will join our senior management team that reports directly to the Director of Property.

History of Oakdale

Oakdale Golf and Country Club's original course (Thompson and Homenuik nines) was designed and built in 1926 by renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson. The Knudson nine, was completed in 1959 by Stanley Thompson protege Robbie Robinson.

It is a parkland-style course with undulating terrain and some excellent examples of mature native trees. Black Creek, a tributary of The Humber River, runs through the over 225 acres of property on which Oakdale is built and affects eleven of the twenty-seven holes.

Using a composite routing of all three nines we successfully hosted the 2023 RBC Canadian Open.
