Weston Golf and Country Club is located in Toronto, Ontario. Designed by Willie Park, Jr., it was home to Arnold Palmer's first PGA Tour victory in the 1955 Canadian Open.[1][2] In 2011, Weston's course was ranked #40 in Canada by ScoreGolf.[3] Weston G&CC hosts an annual elite amateur men's Willie Park Jr. Memorial tournament, held in late summertime. It was started in 1925 to memorialize Park's passing.
Since November 1956, the club's curling rink has provided winter recreation to members and their associates. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the club, the 2015 Canadian Amateur Golf event and the 2016 Canadian Mixed Curling[4] event were held at Weston.
