History

Cliffside Golf Course was started in 1931 by George McCordick, who turned an old farmhouse into a clubhouse and laid out a course on farmland south of Kingston Road and west of Midland Avenue in Scarborough, running down to the Scarborough Bluffs above Lake Ontario. It closed around 1950 as housing and commercial development spread along Kingston Road. The land is now the residential Cliffside neighbourhood, which is thought to take its name from the course, and a 1991 Mural Routes mural at 2435 Kingston Road remembers it.
