Jason Logan back counting down the 2026 SCORE Golf Top 100 presented by BDO Canada. And I'm walking on to the green of one of the most gorgeous golf holes in the world, the short par 3 eighth here at Victoria Golf Club. In addition to all its amazing holes, one of the things I love so much about this course is the way all of Mother Nature's offerings come together to make it so easy on the eyes. You've got ocean, you've got shore, you've got sand, you've got stone. We've got rock, you've got fescue, you've got turf, you've got gorse, you've got trees, you've got flowers, you even have snow capped mountains in the distance. There's such an inspiring setting to hopefully hit a good shot and maybe even make a birdie. And if you don't, well, you still have this amazing view. It is time for us to view 10 more courses on the list. Here are #60 to 51. Stewart Creek certainly starts strongly with a wonderful downhill par 4 framed by snow capped Rocky Mountains. Over all, the Gary Browning course offers a restrained routing despite its elevated mountainside setting, although there are some notable plunges, particularly the drop shot 9th, the second of two par threes to close the front side. The Anchor course for the RBC Canadian Open, the North Course at TPC Toronto, is a big Parkland track designed by Doug Carrick and renovated by Ian Andrew ahead of the 2025 tournament. It's a good challenge with strong holes none better than the finisher. A risk reward par 5 off the tee and into the green. The gorgeous Mount Kid course at Kananaskis Country near Canmore is a mountain valley delight that winds through dense trees as well as the Kananaskis River and glacial creeks. The design was originally done by Robert Trent Jones and put together again by Gary Browning after Alberta's 2013 flood. The OG course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, The Heathlands was Doug Carrick's maiden attempt at a links like course and he nailed all the details. The course requires every shot in your bag and can be beastly in the wind. Eric's green complexes and surrounding fall off areas are outstanding. Eagles Nest is quite likely Doug Carrick's most daring design, with its holes crafted from an old sand and gravel pit and featuring fairways running through giant sculpted dunes of golden fescue. The wind plays a big factor at Eagles Nest, whose high points offer views of downtown Toronto. More than 40 kilometers away north of Muskoka in central Ontario, Thomas Mcbroom's Manitou Ridge is gentler than some of his other courses in that region, but his dramatic nonetheless, as is his signature. Mcbroom incorporated rocky outcroppings into the design, while the best hole by far is the short par 518th, which wines and descends towards Lake Manitou robbing. Prince Edward Island's top ranked course, The Links at Crowbush Cove on the island's North Shore, features rolling fairways, pop bunkers and multi tiered greens. The seaside holes in the sand dunes are a delight, but the routing also wanders through Woodlands and wetlands for variety. The South and West Nines at Ottawa Hunt, which were originally laid out by Willie Park Junior, were most recently renovated by Michael Hurdzan. Before and after the courses quality is owed to its subtle yet rolling sandy land. Host of two CPC Women's Opens over the past decade, Ottawa Hunt was beloved by all players. Summit, a mostly Stanley Thompson design reworked in modern times by Doug Carrick, was built on a N Toronto property that climbs, drops, twists and turns from start to finish. Sloping greens provide a strong defense, while both its opening and closing par four holes are excellent. Mississauga's early days included eighteen holes by George ******* which were reworked by Donald Ross, which were reworked again by Stanley Thompson. Played largely in a valley, winding holes navigate the Credit River and make for a challenging yet peaceful round. Last year, Rick Henderson won her second career CPK CP Women's Open at Mississauga. That's the first half of the list. Complete In our next video, we will break into the top 50 on the 2026 Score Golf Top 100 presented by BDO.
