King’s Forest Golf Club

Located in the heart of the picturesque Red Hill Valley and at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment, this is an understandably popular public facility, averaging 42,000 rounds annually over the last five years. Designed by former City of Hamilton Parks Foreman Matt Broman, with input from Chedoke head pro Rod Goodes, the course opened for play in the fall of 1973. It offers some terrific elevated tee shots (the dramatic par-4 11th calls to mind Glen Abbey’s famous 11th hole) and a challenging routing that crosses the Red Hill Creek six times. Its variety of ups and downs will make a power cart a good idea for many at the picturesque course.
