Dragon's Fire Golf Club, Carlisle, Ontario

The GTA’s first dragon has risen from the ashes of a former countryside tree farm. This championship course was built to the highest of standards with top notch USGA greens, intricately shaped Ohio sand bunkers, the best of turf grasses over gently rolling natural terrain, and features Sky caddie GPS. Every hole is cut in its own tree envelope providing spectacular visual frames amidst majestic towering trees. Opened in May 2008, the course has a wonderful rhythm of short and long holes offering strategic options in the best tradition of “risk-reward”.

The UGAC, established in 2001, is based on the model of longstanding Ukrainian golf associations in Australia and the United States, the latter Ukrainian Golf Association of Great Britain, the Ukrainian Golf Team in Germany, and now most recently the Golf Association of Ukraine.

The UGAC has founding members in Toronto, Montreal, and Winnipeg and is looking to offer golfing opportunities to Ukrainians from across Canada. The UGAC has three main goals. Firstly, the association will organize competitive golfing among our membership staging an annual Canadian individual championship. Secondly, within this competitive context, will provide opportunities for social networking and camaraderie within the broad Ukrainian community in Canada. Thirdly, and most far reaching, is to participate in international golfing events with our parallel golf associations across the world.

Membership is open to Canadians of Ukrainian ancestry, those who have familial relations, and those who through their association with Ukrainians, may be appointed as "honourary Ukrainians". The minimum age to participate is 16. To register for membership, complete the Membership Registration Form as found on our web site at www.ugolf.ca or click here. Younger players are eligible for Junior membership.

Although our events are open to all, our members will enjoy lower cost of participation and value-added benefits. As in previous years, our individual Net Stableford and Gross Stableford Champion Golfers for 2008 will be determined by combining the player’s best score from the first 2 season tournaments with the Finale tournament score.

To register for any of these UGAC events, please contact:
