Caledon, ON [June 10, 2024] - The Hill Academy is proud to announce a partnership with TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley as the Official Training Facility of The Hill Academy Golf Program.

"Combining the golf expertise from the TPC Toronto team with the physical education and individualized performance training offered through The Hill creates such a competitive advantage for these student athletes," said Drazen Glisic, Director of Athlete Development at The Hill Academy.
