This attractive blend of north-woods and parkland flavor debuted in 1910 with a design by H.T. "Mike" Gardner. In the intervening century, the course routing has remained largely the same, save some modifications on two holes.

History was made at this course on August 26, 2012, when 15-year-old amateur Lydia Ko became the youngest golfer (male *or* female) ever to win a professional tournament when she captured the Canadian Women's Open, an official LPGA event.
