Glen Abbey Golf: Scott Piercy is the 2012 winner of the Canadian Open 2012 which was held at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ontario from July 23-29, 2012. The championship will return to the Glen Abbey Golf Club for the 26th time for the 2013 RBC Canadian Open July 22-28, 2013. Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada has been chosen this year's charity partner for the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament.
Oakville's Glen Abbey golf course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and has been visited by leading celebrity golfers including Vijay Singh, Greg Norman, Lee Trevino, Curtis Strange and Tiger Woods with his famous fairway bunker shot.
Bronte Creek is one of the newest Oakville developments by quality builders such as Fernbrook and Monarch Homes and is part of the hot Oakville real estate market. Some lucky homeowners are situated directly on the Bronte Creek Provincial Park with beautiful vistas of the park.
Today there are many beautiful walking and biking trails along with the downtown Oakville and Bronte harbours to enjoy.
