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.

Up North from the City
Amazing golf experience. Picturesque views.
Challenging golf holes with elevation changes and blind tee shots
A retreat for world leaders, you and me
I've been lucky on many of my travels with the weather but not during my round on the Highlands course at Deerhurst Resort in fall, 2012. It came down so heavy I could only play about nine holes before being forced back into the comfy clubhouse for lunch. I did get a tour of the back nine later to see just why the Highlands was Muskoka's original star in the early 1990s. Just the cart ride revealed spectacular ridges in unspoiled country. Steamers in the clubhouse transforms into fine dining at night. Turns out, not even a rainout can ruin a day at Deerhurst, the host of the G8 Economic Summit for world leaders in 2010.
The views were great.
As with this time of year it was wet, but I still enjoyed my round. I wish something could be done about all the Canada geese as they were every where with that they leave there droppings every where also. Other than that it was great & I would recommend playing Deerhurst to anyone.
Awesome course a muskoka gem
This is a fantastic muskoka gem , pick your tee blocks carefully to enjoy this fantastic course
Great course
Beautiful course, was in excellent condition despite the rain. Gorgeous track, well worthy of its reviews. Would play again in a heartbeat.
Still one of the best
This is the course that started the 'big" Muskoka courses and to my mind its still one of the best. The 3 Links stlye holes ( 4, 5 , 6) are unique to Deerhurst in the north. Play it - you'll love it. Might be a little bit tougher than some of the newer Musloka courses as when it was built they didn't give you a lot of bail out room like they give you on the newer courses.
Gotta play this track
Easily one of the best puplic tracks ive ever played> The views were awesome>Highly recommend
The twilight rates were great value
Our booking was paid 100% on the credit card. would have preferred to have foursome pay individually at the course, but I can live with this.
Best Course in Muskoka
Having played all the courses in Muskoka, Highlands is still my favorite.
You will love this course
What an enjoyable day. You will not be disappointed if you select this course to play on. The course is challenging especially built for the long hitter.
Incredible course
I will always try to find a deal on golfnow every time I go to Huntsville in order to play Deerhurst Highlands. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Its in amazing shape and is a great challenge. Take the time to enjoy the beauty of this course when you play it. Its not something you see everyday. Highly recommend this course to anyone. Enjoy!!
