Osprey Valley Hoot
The Hoot is the heathland eighteen at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, a Doug Carrick design of par 72 and about 7,134 yards opened in 2001 in Caledon, northwest of Toronto. Defined by sand, exposed ground and rolling fairways, it is one of three Carrick courses at the facility that hosts the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, all open to the visiting golfer.

The verdict
The Hoot is the most distinctive of the three eighteens at Osprey Valley, the 54 hole Doug Carrick complex in Caledon that has grown into one of Canada's most important public golf destinations and now carries the TPC Toronto name. Opened in 2001, the Hoot is a heathland and links inspired layout defined by vast sandy waste areas, exposed rolling ground and fescue, a very different look from the parkland and forest of its siblings.
The facility's profile has never been higher: TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley hosts the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, the country's national championship on the PGA Tour. For the traveling golfer that makes a round here both accessible and timely, a chance to play tour caliber Carrick golf at public access on the doorstep of Toronto. The Hoot pairs naturally with the other two courses on site for a 54 hole day or two, and with the marquee public courses of the wider Toronto area.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from the facility and leading databases.

It is a public access course; indicative 2026 green fees are an upper public Ontario rate, with peak weekend pricing in summer and lower twilight and shoulder rates. Rates change by season and time of day, so always confirm current pricing and availability directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Carrick gave the Hoot a heathland personality you rarely find in Ontario, with sprawling sandy waste areas, pot and sprawling bunkers and fairways that tumble across open ground. There is little tree cover compared with its siblings, so wind is a genuine factor and the ground game comes into play, rewarding a player who can flight the ball and use the contours into the greens.
From the back tees at about 7,134 yards it is a strong par 72, with the sand framing landing areas and demanding commitment from the tee. The greens are bold and well defended, and recovery from the waste areas tests the short game and the nerve. It is the kind of course that looks intimidating and plays fairer than it appears if you respect the lines.
Set within the wider TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, the Hoot complements the parkland North and the forest of the Heathlands course, so a stay here easily fills 54 holes of varied Carrick design. With the 2026 RBC Canadian Open in the spotlight, it is a fine moment to come and see how the facility stacks up against the tour test.
