Oakdale Golf & Country Club is a private, parkland-style golf and tennis club located in North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the site of the 2023 Canadian Open and will host the tournament again in 2026. The club is known as predominantly Jewish, as it was established in response to anti-Semitism in the 1920s and 1930s, but religion is not a requirement or barrier to membership.

The golf course has 27 holes, eighteen of which were designed by Stanley Thompson in the 1920s and 1930s, and a third nine designed by Robbie Robinson in 1957. Each of the three nines are named for famous figures in Canadian golf: Thompson himself, George Knudson and Wilf Homenuik. Knudson won 8 tournaments on the PGA tour, and Homenuik won several tournaments as an amateur and Canadian PGA events. Both men were also club professionals at Oakdale.

The 2023 Canadian Open was played on a composite routing that used some holes from each of the Homenuik and Thompson nines, and all of the Knudson holes as the back nine.

The club's tennis facilities feature six outdoor courts, with pro shop and offers lessons and competitions.
