Toronto loves golfers

Blogging from Toronto: For a girlfriends golf getaway, Toronto rocks. Sure, it’ll be a couple of months before the grass is really green around here but planning in March gets you teed up for May. GOLF: This city loves golfers. Toronto has the highest ratio of golf courses per capita on the continent. There are more than 100 courses within an hour’s drive of downtown. Lots are public courses and those that dreams are made of like Glen Abbey Golf Club, which hosted the Canadian Open 25 times. HOT: Toronto Highlands Golf Trail organizes hotel and golf packages like “Golf and the City” for women. SHOP: Swoon over the shopping in the Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood, at quirky Kensington Market or at Toronto Eaton Centre. There is a museum here that is dedicated to shoes, the Bata Shoe Museum. TREAT YOURSELF: Day spas, like Shizen at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, provide tranquil respites in the thick of downtown. Great wine bar at the hotel, too. Pair a glass of Canadian wine with tofu popcorn or prosciutto-wrapped figs. Add golf? It doesn’t get much better. Check it out.
