Aug., 2016: Uplands Golf and Country Club
Established in 1922, the Uplands Golf and Country Club (located at 46 Uplands Avenue), sits on a property that was originally owned by the Page family in Thornhill. As one of the earlier families to settle in the Thornhill area, Lewis Page received a 200 acre Crown Grant in 1838, which was eventually passed down to his grandchildren and subsequent heirs before being sold and developed into a golf club. Originally designed as an eighteen hole private course by Stanley Thompson, the Uplands Gold and Country Club was downsized to nine holes in 1989 as a result of urban sprawl. Although fragmented, the fonds spans the years of 1954-1988 and includes aerials, images of various 1950 golf tournaments held on site and a stock holder’s certificate.
