Mitchell and refined by renowned architects like Ian Andrew, combines strategic play with natural beauty on the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Our racquet sports facilities feature two tennis courts and six pickleball courts, complemented by expert instruction for all skill levels.The club serves as both a social hub and event destination, hosting weddings, celebrations, and corporate functions with custom culinary experiences by Executive Chef Floyd Wilson.
