Here are what others have said about it:
“This is a must-see video for historians and golf fans.”
“It was a wonderful experience. You will learn about Canada’s history, as well as see amazing paraphernalia, artifacts, and clubs. There are also a few historic trophies, including the Olympic trophy that a Canadian last won in the early 1900s.”
“come and visit the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. It is well worth the effort. You will find it on the Glen Abbey Golf Course and is full of great information, artifacts and photos. It was amazing to learn that Canada is the Olympic champion in golf. It was incredible to see the Olympic trophy. You should go to see the Olympic trophy in person, especially since golf is returning to the Olympics.”
“Every time I drive by Glenn Abbey Golf Course, I think about this museum. This museum was open to me once when I was riding my bike.”
“With many displays about the history of Canadian golf as well as highlights from Canadian golfing moments. You can even watch VCR tapes. Although it may not be large enough to be considered a museum, if you are passionate about golf, this might be worth looking into. Have fun.”
