The "Mother Ship"

Although not the first golf course to be built by the Frost family, Spring Lakes (opened in 1977) was the first time that our current unique approach to private club golf, was introduced. Today, the same fee structure applies to both clubs (see rates and fees page) and our policies are based on the same principles. Never-the-less, each club has it’s own unique personality, and the topography and layouts are quite different, so many of our members from each of the clubs enjoy visiting their “non-home” club from time to time.

Beth Frost, pictured on the right with Bob Lean (golf pro), and Tim Clarridge (greens superintendent), is still very much at the helm, making sure we all stay in line!

Spring Lakes offers 3 championship 18 hole layouts and a generous clubhouse facility, golf shop, and half way house on the property. There are more than 40 lakes (hence the name). The clever use of golf course design, and literally thousands of trees that were transplanted to the course when it was built have matured into a beautiful landscape, Located at Hwy 48 and Stouffville Rd. near Stouffville, Ontario, this provides a quality golf experience, and a great value, within the GTA.

Members at either of our courses, if their circumstances change and they move North out of the big city...or vice versa...can transfer their “home” membership from one of our courses to the other with only a modest administration fee, but will have their “Entrance Fee” honoured at the other club.

It runs in the family...

The Frost family’s first foray into the golf business was a driving range that Mac’s dad, George Frost operated on Eglinton Ave. in Scarborough in the 1940’s. Mac played golf at the “old” Cedar Brae golf club, South of Lawrence Ave. and Markham Rd. When the club folded after WWII, he, along with several other investors, bought the charter for the club and built an18 hole course, also called Cedar Brae, on Steeles Ave. Never one to stop “playing in the mud” for long, Mac then built the valley course, which is the current Cedar Brae G& C.C.

He then renovated the 18 “upper” holes into a 27 hole public course called Brookwood, until it was sold to developers Cedar Brae was sold to the members in the late 60’s. By the early 70’s the construction of Spring Lakes was underway.

This is the “short” version! Mac and Beth Frost have an extensive history in golf. Perhaps one day, their daughter, Cinder, will find time to write the book! At the moment, she’s busy following in their footsteps at Vespra Hills.
