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.

Very pretty course
Some greens were very patchy but over all course condition were good.
Great track was a bit wet in areas due to the rain the previous day, overall great condition, picking the correct tee box is essential to an enjoyable round !!
How the mighty have fallen.
I cried a little to see how this beautiful track has self imploded. I’ve played it since the 90s and Covid or no Covid this level of deterioration takes a few years to accomplish. Greens were unplayable which could be forgiven if the rest of the course conditions weren’t so equally bad. Grass on the green had gone to seed-never seen that before. Bunkers were about 50-50 to have sand. Fairways looked like a quilt with all the sod patches. This place is owned by Skyline who are also selling homes surrounding the course. Their interest may lie there as opposed to maintaining what used to be one of Canada top courses (I used to review courses). Spend some money before this gem goes under.
Lovely layout & views
It was my first time playing this scenic course. I brought a foursome and we all loved it. The first elevated tee features a stunning view of the lake and trees in a distance. Greens were in great shape - not too fast and not too slow for me. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, right from the pro shop to the cart area and beverage providers. I definitely plan to return in future.
Poor greens, slow play
Group ahead of us had two completely open holes ahead of them and 5 groups on the two holes behind them. Greens in very poor condition, lots of unputtable areas with apparent continual aeration. No mention of this ahead of time.
Great layout, but really bad green condition
Everything is good, but green is just so bad. Almost every green has large percentage of rough grass patches. You are garrantted to put through the rough grass. Speed will be unpredictable. I won't go again until they fix the green issue.
