In 1931 George McCordick converted an old farmhouse into a clubhouse and turned the surrounding countryside into a challenging golf course. The Cliffside Golf Course was located south of Kingston Road and west of Midland Ave. with a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. Many a golf ball was lost over the Bluffs!
After 1950 the golf course was closed as new housing and commercial development spread along Kingston Road.
This mural is dedicated to the residents of Cliffside and to the golfers whose fond memories have brought the golf course back to life on this wall.
