The RBC Canadian Open is heading back to Ontario, and this time it’s teeing off on the newly renovated North Course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. At the center of it all is 20-year GCSAA member David Hunter, who brings over three decades of experience at this very site. Known for his steady leadership and attention to detail, Hunter is setting the stage for one of the most finely conditioned tournaments of the year.

TPC Toronto is unlike any other stop on the PGA TOUR. Built on a reclaimed gravel pit and refreshed with a renovation by Ian Andrew just last year, the North Course now features reimagined bunkers, new professional tees, and altered grassing lines that are ready to challenge the world's best. With a routing tweak that swaps holes 8 and 17 and strategic agronomic choices, players and fans can expect a distinctive and visually compelling test of golf.

The turf is tournament-ready from tee to green:

• Greens: Bentgrass/Poa annua mix, mowed to 0.100"

• Tees, Approaches, and Collars: Bent/Poa mix, maintained between 0.275"–0.300"

• Fairways: Bent/Poa mix cut at 0.375"

• Rough: Dense Kentucky bluegrass standing at 3.75"

This balanced blend of turfgrass delivers elite firmness and roll on fairways, smooth transitions on approaches, and reliable putting surfaces — all while withstanding the unpredictable Canadian climate.

Weather hasn’t made things easy. A long winter and early spring ice storms delayed preparations, forcing Hunter and his team to dedicate over a week to storm cleanup. But the 62-person agronomy staff, including 35 tournament volunteers, has risen to the occasion. From assistants like Aaron Hill and Scott Brook to equipment manager Jason Sharples, it’s been a full-team effort.

Spanning 620 acres, TPC Toronto's North Course is more than just a tournament venue — it’s an ecological landscape where wildlife like coyotes, turkeys, and osprey share space with two loyal course dogs, Bauer and Kala. It’s also a venue built to drain exceptionally well thanks to its sandy loam soil and underlying gravel base — a critical asset during a wet spring.

As the PGA TOUR returns to Canada, this event shines a spotlight on the talent and dedication of superintendents like David Hunter and the GCSAA members who bring the game to life. With tournament week now underway, the stage is set for a memorable RBC Canadian Open — built on precision, passion, and the power of the turf.

June 2025 Outlook for Ohio

The average temperature will be near normal in June.  Precipitation will be near normal during the month. 

Discussion

After a cool start temperatures will quickly warm up to more summerlike levels in June.  A Bermuda high will produce southerly winds that will transport warmer, more humid air to Ohio.  The warmer conditions will persist for a few days.  Then an active storm track will bring alternating periods of cooler and warmer weather.  Another period of warmer weather could develop later in the month.  When all of the cooler and warmer days are averaged together, the average temperature in Ohio in June will be near normal.

The active storm track will bring multiple chances for significant rainfall in June.  There will be periods of sunny, dry weather in between the storms.  Slow moving thunderstorms could drop heavier rain on some locations on hot, humid days.  The total rainfall for June will be near normal.

A Masterpiece in Motion: The Turf Team Behind the 2025 Memorial Tournament

At Muirfield Village Golf Club, every blade of grass tells a story. And this week, that story is being authored by Chad Mark, GCSAA, and his team of turfgrass professionals as they prepare Jack Nicklaus’ iconic design for the 2025 Memorial Tournament.

The Memorial has long been a showcase of championship golf, but what truly sets it apart is the attention to agronomic excellence. Behind the scenes, Mark—a 27-year GCSAA member and Director of Grounds at Muirfield for the past nine years—is orchestrating a turf symphony that’s been fine-tuned through experience, science, and an unrelenting pursuit of perfection.

Turf Trials and Triumphs

Ohio’s erratic spring delivered an extra challenge this year, with above-average snow cover and April rains complicating early-season preparations. But for Mark and his crew, that’s just part of the craft. PrecisionAire subsurface systems breathe life into the USGA-spec greens, maintaining elite conditions regardless of the whims of Mother Nature.

This year brought some changes to the course layout too. The 16th tee was shifted 25 yards to the right and a greenside bunker removed—small tweaks with big impact for shot strategy. Yet through it all, the agronomy team’s mission remains the same: present a playing surface that demands greatness from the world’s best golfers.

A Crew Built for the Moment

Behind every championship course is a championship team. At Muirfield, that includes assistants Seamus Foley and Connor Quigley, infrastructure manager Andrew Kaprosy, and equipment manager Bill Claytor. They're joined by a 50-person full-time maintenance staff and a crew of 35 tournament volunteers. Add in 10 turf interns from programs around the world—from South Africa to SUNY Delhi—and you have a globally influenced workforce united by turf passion.

Let’s not forget Duke, the 2-year-old golden retriever who keeps spirits high while roving the fairways and offering moral support (and maybe a few friendly distractions).

Built by Nicklaus. Maintained by Masters.

Muirfield Village is more than a golf course—it’s a living canvas of turf artistry. Designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1974 and renovated by the Golden Bear himself in 2020, the club sits on a foundation of native clay with fairways that have been carefully topdressed over the years to optimize playability and drainage.

Every grass type is tuned to its environment: bentgrass across greens, tees, collars, approaches, and fairways. Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue stand tall in the rough, cut to a penal 4 inches. With 13 water hazards in play and 68 bunkers, shotmaking demands precision—and so does the turf maintenance behind it.

Legacy on the Line

This is Chad Mark’s 9th Memorial Tournament, but what makes his story remarkable is his legacy beyond the ropes. Eight of his former assistants have moved on to become superintendents themselves—a testament to the mentorship baked into Muirfield’s maintenance culture.

This tournament isn’t just about golf; it’s about growth. Growth of the turf. Growth of the profession. And growth of a community of agronomy experts who help the game flourish from the ground up.

The Takeaway

As the eyes of the golf world turn to Dublin, Ohio, this week, remember that greatness doesn’t just happen. It’s grown. It’s cut. It’s rolled. It’s irrigated, aerified, and nurtured by professionals who live in the margins between “good” and “unforgettable.”

That’s the quiet power of the superintendent. And at Muirfield Village, that power is on full display.
