A Legacy Built on Family and Community

Our Values

Family-Owned & Operated

Summerheights remains proudly family-run, with familiar faces and hands-on leadership every day.

Respect for Legacy

We continue to build on the values and standards established by the MacLennan family — integrity, pride, and care for the land.

Community First

Summerheights is a community gathering place. We value relationships, loyalty, and a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of all abilities.

Continuous Improvement

Great golf courses don’t stand still. We believe in CANI - Constant and Never-Ending Improvement. Steady, thoughtful improvements enhance the experience without losing character.

Phil Brown is the owner of Summerheights Golf Links and Kedron Dells Golf Club in Oshawa, bringing nearly three decades of leadership and hands-on experience in golf operations.

Phil grew up across the road from Summerheights, on a dairy farm in Cornwall. He attended Northern Michigan University, where he earned a degree in Business and competed in NCAA Division I hockey—experiences that shaped his approach to leadership, teamwork, and accountability.

After university, Phil returned to Cornwall and worked as a Realtor  gaining a deep understanding of the local community, relationships, and long-term investment. His career eventually led him into golf operations and ownership, where he has spent the last 28 years building successful, family-focused golf facilities with a strong emphasis on guest experience, staff culture, and continuous improvement.

Today, Phil’s return to Summerheights represents a true homecoming — one rooted in respect for the land, the MacLennan family legacy, and the community that helped shape him.

His philosophy is simple:

support great people, protect what matters, and never stop improving.
