About
Two stunning courses are the centerpiece at this full-facility luxury resort, which was one of Muskoka's earliest resorts, open in 1896. The Deerhurst Highlands championship course is from architects Robert Cupp and Thomas McBroom. Carved from the rugged hills and dense forest, it presents the golfer with challenges of all types.

Always love this place
I love this course. It two holes the same. Amazing scenery and a fun playable layout with great conditions.
some aspects dissapoint
Given the Pro-Shop check-in is a mobile trailer (a fire to the Steakhouse that shared space with the Pro-Shop negated that), staff are doing the best they can, friendly and helpful.
Practice area allows only irons (too short) and is sadly lacking. A clock that is 16 minutes slow and possibly the worst hitting surface (patchy crabgrass and dirt) do not make for a good experience.
Layout, views and course conditions are pleasant.
My twilight round at Deerhurst Highlands
I booked as a single using golfniw ...pre-paying and twilight rates made it quite reasonable.
I had played the course once before, but had forgotten how nice the layout was ...starting with the breathtaking view on the 1st tee right through to the 18th ... all the holes are fun and challenging.
Greens we're in good shape.
Rough is patchy and weedy, but you're not suppyto be in it so ...my bad.
I didn't like the cart continuosly asked g me to sign waivers for hitting houses alongside a hole (one blanket waiver should suffice) nor having to clear screens over and over of warnings of steep hills and blind spots.
Should be even better experience once the new clubhouse/proshop are opened.
PREMIER GOLF COURSE.
Nice paved cart path on #3 makes a big difference plus all speed bumps on main cart path. GPS is nice feature too for course information. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Great deal for great golf if you can get a hot deal through golfnow, otherwise a bit pricey. The course itself is incredible !!!!! 10/10
Fall Sunday
The course was in great shape for a nice fall afternoon golf game. The only issue was other golfers who don't know how to play well and also have no etiquette. They use the wrong tee boxes for their game and saunter around like they are country club elite. No thought of pace of play.
great layout and overall conditions of the course, little disappointed about the conditions of the tee boxes. greens need to faster and better manicured in order to justify a $175 green fee
Beautiful course
First time playing here. Beautiful course. Moderate difficulty but played 9 holes in August and loved it. Highly recommend.
Great course. Great pace. Would play again
Really nice course in very good condition with a fun layout. A bit tight, but great challenge. Some tough downhill distances. Greens were decadent shape and rolled pretty good.
Getting Better Each Time Out…
Third time out on the course, with staff very friendly and open to suggestions and feedback, including making sure the range actually has balls stocked (and how about washing them?). The course is quite interesting and picturesque, and the advent of new electric carts with GPS, a very pleasant experience.
