Silver Lakes Golf & Country Club
About
Carved from 200 acres of mature forest along the Holland River just 40 minutes from downtown Toronto, Silver Lakes Golf & Country Club provides a scenic round reminiscent of those found in either Florida or the Carolinas. Neighbored by native wetlands, the golf course features water hazards on 12 holes. There are also treacherous, well placed bunkers coming into play on every hole. The par-3 third hole is notably challenging, in addition to being flanked by bunkers, it also requires a carry over a pond. Silver Lakes Golf & Country Club also features a unique seven-acre aqua driving range as well as three chipping and putting greens.

Thanks for the 5 star review! Much appreciated. Hope you come back to play again soon.
Chris
Very good
Nice course, always in decent condition. Very wet, sometimes too wet. Bring bug spray. Very nice staff. Good value
Thank you for taking the time to comment cfrechette we appreciate it!
Glad that you enjoyed your visit on opening day. The golf course is coming around the the plowed snowbanks in the parking lot are almost gone! Great weather next week so course will be tip top very soon. Hope to see you again soon.
Chris
A great course with no trickery
My son and I played on a drizzly 7 degree day with toques and lots of layers. No one else in sight and it was actually very enjoyable. Fairways were in great shape and greens still rolled well. The layout is tough but fair with everything in front of you. Pro shop guys were uniformly excellent. We’ll be back.
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to come and visit us. Although it may be toque season still some time left in the season and hope to see you out again.
Chris
Autumn delight
It doesn't get much better than this. Warm reception upon arrival, great pace of play on an enjoyable course
Thanks for the kind words William. Glad that you enjoyed our course and hope that you come and visit us again before the season ends.
Chris
Enjoyed this course
I have played Silver Lakes several times and enjoy it. The range has hits balls into the lake so it isn't the best. Some fairways are a challenge due to them being narrow but not unreasonable.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and hope that you're able to come back and see us again soon!
Chris
Thank you for the fantastic rating! We really appreciate it.
Chris
Thanks for taking the time to come out and see us Mr.Frias! Hope that you had a good game out there.
Chris
Awesome
Course is very good, staff, food, washroom, Course, fairways and greens....awesome!!!
Thanks for the great review Calda! So glad that you chose Silver Lakes and enjoyed our course!
Above Average Course
Well kept course, with a country feel. Staff very friendly. Good variety of holes. Relatively challenging compared to the average public course. Drawback would be the 5 hour round played on more than one occasion on weekends. Should spread out tee times or have a Marshall who enforces pace of play.
Hello u000007847009,
Thank you for taking the time to comment. We have marshalls and do our best to enforce the 4:20 minute pace of play. I can see that it was booked solid this past Monday when you played and apologize for it being a longer than usual round. We actually tee groups off in 9 minute intervals which at other courses is usually 7,8 minute intervals. We hope that you come and see us again soon.
Chris
Cart Path Only
Fortunately there's two cart paths, however one is a cow trail!
The coarse is in fabulous condition.
Kudos to the Superintendent!
Bob
Thank you for taking the time to comment Bob.
Our gravel/dirt path can definitely be a rougher ride especially with the amount of rain this season. I will pass along your kind words to our superintendant Greg and his team.
Chris
Great course, very slow pace
Have played this nice course several times over many years and usually enjoy its layout and conditioning which were excellent this year too. Unfortunately we played on a day last week when they also had a small tournament. It took our 4-some using carts 5 hours and waited on every hole. It amazes me that golf clubs risk their reputations by booking tournaments followed closely by individual tee times on the same day. Don't they know that tournaments rarely have a quick or even on-time pace? They had too many 4somes on the course that afternoon. And their marshals were ineffective, especially on the second nine.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and sorry to hear that your experience was a little more drawn out than you would have liked. We understand your frustrations. Generally we book a limited number of tee times after tournaments and don't start them until 45 mins-1 hour giving a buffer that still allow public to play in 4:15 minutes. Thank you for taking the time to let us know sir.
Chris
Problems with tee times
They claimed Golfnow overbooked therefoe could keep tee time.
Thank you for taking the time to comment Greville. Please contact our golf professional Chris so we can resolve any future confusion with bookings. Sorry to hear that there were issues with your booking.
This course is well maintained
This course is better than last game 10 years before.
Thank you for taking the time to review Simon. We are glad that you enjoyed the course!
Thunderstorm and rain check
I completed 7 holes when the horn sounded to return to the clubhouse.After waiting 15 minutes inside, I inquired how much longer til we could go out. I was told another 30 minutes or so. With that delay and the slow pace of play, it was unlikely that I could have completed the full 18 holes before before nightfall. I asked for a rain check. I got one for 9 holes & a cart.
Thanks for the review Jon. It has been a challenging season to say the least. Seems like no more than 2-3 days in a row without rain before it starts up again. We are hoping for a nice long/dry/warm rest of the summer & fall.
Thanks for taking the time to review our facility "Tony"
Hope you come back to visit us again soon!
Thank you for visiting us Mr.Tomlinson! Hope that you enjoyed the course and played well!
Mr.Macpherson,
Thanks for taking the time to review and play our course. Hope you come back again soon.
