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.

Condition of course
Enjoyed playing course for first time, I was expecting course to be in better shape than it was, Seems they may have had trouble with greens over winter a lot of bare patches..
I was told
That it was a fantastic course & this made me anxious to play for the first time, unfortunately did not live up to hype a good course but expected more.
Great day on the course
Had a great time. Course is on excellent shape and the scenery is stunning. Loved it
Please fix thew greens.
Awesome course and staff, only downside was the greens are in terrible shape. big patches of dirt and replanted brown grass.. Not sure what happened to them.but hope they can save them :(
Great course except for the greens
First time play the course . Great layout and the right balance of challenging holes that allow for playability. Unfortunately the the greens were in very rough shape. That said i believe the price has been adjusted.
I would play it again.
Sad Shape
Deerhurst Highlands is tired and I'm unsure why the owners appear unwilling to give it any serious investment. I've played the Highlands since 1995, but haven't played it since 2013. It has actually declined since then, which I thought would be difficult. You now hit into a landfill on the driving range. The cart paths are falling apart. The greens are a mess. This used to be a Muskoka gem and someone has allowed to become an old mule. Too bad.

SAVE YOUR MONEY - GOLF SOMEWHERE ELSE
The 'highlands' is supposed to be Deerhursts' showcase golf course. Personally it is a step up from Lakelands but not much more. Greens are brutal. I have played all other courses in the area and was keeping an eye on a hot deal for the Highlands so as to give it a go and was deeply disappointed. All other courses in area are way better than this course !!!! ALL BECAUSE IT IS A RESORT - they should be ashamed to charge over $100 CAD per round.
Love this layout, conditions are not good. Greens are in very rough shape.
Course still needs two weeks to be ready
Deerhurst Highlands Golf
Great job adapting to COVID. Friendly staff. Greens a bit bumpy which made putting challenging.
Highlands
Disappointed with the condition of the greens. I brought
friends who had expectations that were not met. VERY disappointed.
Very poor greens & fairways
Unfortunately the greens did not winter well,. The course is terribly maintained. Not one garbage can on the entire course. Meaning beer and coke tins and bottles scattered in the bushes on every hole. The rate charged of $129.00 plus HST was unduly high for course in this poor shape. Deerhurst guests should be aware of the course conditions before playing. Four Seasons is not doing a good job in managing the resort or the course. Unfortunate as Deerhurst Highlands was once finest courses in the Muskokas years back.
Very pretty course
stunning course but greens and fairways not very well kept. Pretty patchy !
Disappointed
Very disappointed
Course is in bad shape
Overpriced for the condition
Staff are clueless
Arrive at tee block 20 minutes early
No one around for miles and told to wait at the putting green - he didn’t even greet us - retired guy from Toronto who clearly doesn’t gaf.
Do better deerhurst cause there’s better around at half the price
