Can someone familiar with this course please tell me how far it is from downtown Toronto. I'm trying to figure out which hotel to book for the races in two weeks. Thanks in advance!

Holiday Inn on King Street is probably the closest. But you'll be fine anywhere downtown with easy access to transit. Easiest way to the course from downtown is to take the King streetcar west to Jamison. From there it's just a couple blocks south to a footbridge over the Gardiner/Lakeshore Blvd. The course is right there.

The Argonaut Club is just west of the course and they've got a map on their website:

Try 4 Points Sheraton on Lakeshore Blvd. About 20 minute walk. Transit nearby also.

Just book any hotel you want as long as it's downtown close to a subway. Take the subway to King Street and follow the directions given from previous threads.

You can walk from the Four Point Sheraton on Lakeshore Ave West. There are still rooms the last time I checked.
