Mary Evelyn, MBA
Managing Director


Growing up Mary, watched her father, John Evelyn, build a successful career as a golf professional and entrepreneur on the simple premise that the way to win is to play the course – not the other golfers. As a passionate golfer Mary followed in his footsteps earning an undergraduate degree at York University and then graduating from the University of Toronto MBA Program in 1991 with an eye on going into the golf business herself. She took on full-time duties at the John Evelyn Golf Center (now Bushwood) in 1993 after her father. Stepping up to take the helm of the club, Mary quickly stabilized the business and injected it with a renewed sense of energy and appeal as an enjoyable facility for a fun round of golf. Her forward-thinking led Mary securing the trademark and patent to the name Bushwood Golf Club, which originated with the cult-classic movie Caddyshack, and rebranding the facility as the Bushwood Golf Club in 1995. Mary, a scratch golfer, brings the same passion and enthusiasm to all aspects of her life. She’s an active volunteer in the community, formerly serving as member of the Board of Directors for the National Golf Course Owners Association, Central Ontario Chapter from 1996-2005.
