Mississauga golf courses are teed up to open in April

City of Mississauga has just announced that Braeben and Lakeview golf courses are set to open in early April. Golf is a perfect way to combine a little exercise with enjoying nature and the great outdoors, not to mentioning impressive landscaping! Mississauga’s public courses have a lot to offer both seasoned golfers and anyone new to hitting the links. With well-maintained facilities and friendly staff, booking a tee time online or over the phone is quick and easy. As most golf aficionados in the GTA know, the City of Mississauga owns and operates two golf courses, BraeBen and Lakeview, with excellent options for golfers of all skill levels.

Of course both courses are accessible by MiWay public transit. Although the prospect of carrying clubs on the bus is not so appealing, at least the option is there.

When do Mississauga’s public golf courses open?

Courses will open on the following dates:
Braeben golf course and range:  Friday, April 5
Braeben 9-Hole Academy: Wednesday, April 24
Lakeview golf course: Wednesday, April 10

Reminders before heading to the course

Before you tee off, remember to bring your reusable water bottle, and take advantage of the water refilling stations on-site. The City’s golf courses are no longer selling plastic water bottles.
