The Oakville Golf Club is a private nine-hole golf club established in 1921 when the Town of Oakville only had 3289 residents. It is built on land owned by the Lightbourn Family. E.T. (Ted) Lightbourn was a founding member and first president, from 1921 to 1932. His wife and four children were all proud charter members. His youngest daughter Ruth founded the local school known today as St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn. This land had been leased for years by a local butcher, Bill Buckle, to graze and fatten up cows, pigs and sheep for his store, Buckle's Butcher Shop which he opened in 1903, at the corner of Colborne (now Lakeshore Road) and Dunn in downtown Oakville just south of today’s Queen’s Head Pub.
