The "Grand old Game's" roots in North America were established with the formation of the Royal Montreal Golf Club in 1873, making Canada the birthplace of organized golf on the continent. With such a rich history in this country, the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame preserves and honours the traditions of golf from its early European origins to the present day's modern equipment and superstar players. Casual players and golf aficionados will enjoy a truly unique and memorable visit to the Hall of Fame. A walk through the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame is like a stroll over an 18-hole golf course, with each "hole" representing a significant element in the game's history, from its beginning to the champions of the modern game. The museum is located in an old estate house at the Glen Abbey Golf Course.
