Matt Anderson (General Manager)
Matt has been around Oakridge Golf Club for more than
20 years, including the last eleven as General Manager.
He started as part of the greens staff back in 1987
while he was still a high school student. After high
school he headed off to Seneca College for the golf
course technician program to build the base he needed to run a successful golf course. Matt was the full-time mechanic at Oakridge
from 1991-94 before he took on the Superintendent's
responsibilities until 1998.
Today, he is proud of the work he accomplished making
Oakridge a favourite amongst golfers in the GTA and Durham Region.
Oakridge's scenic holes, it's easy to see why people
keep coming back. After all, the Oakridge Moraine is the most beautiful area to play golf in Ontario.
"We give people value for their money," understates
Matt. "Our goal here is to deliver an enjoyable
golf experience at a reasonable green fee."
And we do.

Warren Moffatt celebrated 14 years at Oakridge Golf
Club last summer. Make that over a decade of creating Durham's
most memorable golf experience.
Warren has spent the last eleven years as the superintendent.
He's anxious to see what the current season has in store
for visitors to Oakridge Golf Club - if past history
is any indication, it should be another great year.
"I think Oakridge stands up pretty well,"
says Warren. "I'm proud of the course, particularly the fairways
and greens because that's where I work the hardest." Warren is particularly pleased with the results of a greater focus on the greens speed and consitency for 2007. Golfers were raving about the improved conditions. This year the course should be really good too!"
Overall, I am proud of the whole thing, everything I
see here."
Judging by the reaction of golfers in our poll they
like everything they see, too.
"I take the course maintenance as a priority and every little
thing counts. It's great to hear from the players too."
Please let Warren know what you think of the course by calling him at 905-985-0883 Ext. 125 or by filling out a survey in the Clubhouse.
