Oakdale Golf and Country Club is set to host the Ontario Men’s Better-Ball Championship on October 7th. This prestigious, one-day competition will see 56 two-man teams battle for the championship title in the better-ball format.
Established in 1959, the Ontario Men’s Better-Ball Championship has a long history at Oakdale Golf and Country Club—also the site of the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, where Canadian Nick Taylor secured a historic victory. The event has been held here every year since its inception, with the exception of 1963 and 1965.
