In many ways, Magna Golf Club is a reflection of the principles important to the founder and Chairman of Magna, Frank Stronach. Honesty, respect, reverence, tradition and forthrightness – all those words describe Stronach, a true visionary. They also define one of Canada’s most exclusive private clubs.

At Magna, Stronach envisioned a centre of excellence where his top executives could live, work and play just minutes from Magna International world headquarters. Within this private gated development of nearly 30 multi-million dollar estate lots we were asked to create a one-of-a-kind golf course and community on a grand scale. It’s one of only a handful of courses in the country with an initiation fee in excess of $100,000.

Perched along the rolling hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine, our design team developed an elegant and environmentally sensitive design that reflects the leadership qualities and corporate identity of Magna on a distinguished and gracious scale.

The course features generous fairways, gently contoured greens and quite possibly the most immaculate golf course conditions in Canada. Its elaborate bunkers are reminiscent of the Golden Age of golf course architecture - a site to been seen and hazards to be avoided.

Stronach also hired us to design a second course, Fontana Golf & Country Club in Austria at Magna’s International European headquarters.
