[citation needed] Albert Austin had laid out a few holes of golf in vacant farmlands in the area where Casa Loma now stands.

This was strictly for the pleasure of his family and a few friends but grew into the Spadina Golf Club, which had a layout through farmers' fields north over St. Clair Avenue, through Forest Hill Village to just south of Eglinton.

[citation needed] As plans for the new course took shape, the estimated cost of $30,000 to develop the property at Lambton Mills, on which an option had been obtained, caused Austin to solicit support from a wider group of golfing enthusiasts, including members of Rosedale, High Park and Highlands Golf Clubs as well as Spadina.

The response to the solicitation was such that a committee, chaired by Austin and including George S. Lyon, proceeded with the project, and the official opening took place in driving rain on 13 June 1903.

[citation needed] Lambton's traditions owe much to the founding members, including the club's official red jacket, which is a modified form of that worn by Austin in his portrait, which hangs in the clubhouse.

Another tradition, the singing of "My Wild Irish Rose" at certain club dinners is a continuation of the practice introduced by George S. Lyon.

Today, Lambton Golf and Country Club occupies 171 acres of rolling terrain defined by the Humber River and Black Creek.

The first was awarded to Marlene Stewart Streit in 1953 after her victory at the British Amateur Championship at Royal Porthcawl in South Wales.

[citation needed] The Club also hosted The Four Nations Team Championship as Canada defeated squads from Australia, New Zealand and Japan in 2001.

Over the last Century, a number of noted golf course architects contributed some of their genius to the old course design including: A. W. Tillinghast, Harry Colt, Donald Ross, Stanley Thompson, Robbie Robinson, Graham Cooke, and Rees Jones[3] in 2010.

In the same year, on September 24, Lambton celebrated George Lyon's 111th Anniversary of his Olympic gold medal victory.

He was an eight-time Canadian Amateur Champion (1898, 1900, 1903, 1905-06-07, 1912 and 1914), won the golf Gold Medal[8] at the 1904 Olympics at The Glen Echo Country Club in St. Louis at the age of 46.

[citation needed] In 1913, Harry Vardon[10] and Ted Ray[11] put on an exhibition at Lambton on their way back to England from the U.S. Open Championship.

[citation needed] In 1977, Alan Ogilvie[17] and his team (Dudley Jones, Charles Lorimer) came from Summerlea Golf Club in Montreal.

[citation needed] In 2003, Matthew Yustin and his team (Chris Vasey and Steve Manock) moved in and is the current Head Professional.
