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.

Course has lost its luster

This course was an hidden gem a couple years ago. Now it just seems like an overpriced cottage course resting on its glory days. Course conditions were sub par at best. Problem is that a lot of golfers refuse to take care of the course the way it should be which means fixing pitch marks on greens and raking bunkers. Figure the course marshal who seemed to just drive around could possibly look at greens as he was driving past and fix some ball marks and possibly rake some of the mess up in the bunkers. Too bad because this was a great value course a couple years ago. Good luck!!!

Thank you for your comments Kerry and sorry to hear that the course wasn't in the great shape you are used to seeing us in. It was a particularly busy day which probably contributed to some of the issues if some fellow golfers weren't as considerate with their course etiquette. Still some great value however especially late in the day in our twilight tee times. Hope to see you out at the course again soon.

fantastic course but greens disappointing

maybe the most challenging and beautiful public courses ever... on this day, however, the greens were in unusually poor condition even for this time of year... difficult to read the pace/speed of the greens - grass was long making the greens very slow... never the less, will definitely be back like many times before - hopeful the greens to return to usual pristine form before long! P.S. call and inquire as to greens conditions - reserve prudently

Thank you for your feedback "stick4ever" and sorry to hear that the pace of the greens weren't as quick as you like. Similar to many other courses in the area we had a challenging spring with a particularly hot/dry season thus far. I played myself yesterday May 27th and the greens are now in great shape and increased speed. Hope to see you back at the club soon with nothing but 2-putts!

Good Shape

For the time of year, the course was in very good shape. The greens were slow, but, we were advised of that prior to teeing off. Some were a little bumpy...but, overall in very good shape for this time of year. The fairways and tee boxes were in very goods shape.
It was a very good value since the price included the cart.
I've golfed there many times and shall return.

Thank you for your feedback "Garyspec" much appreciated. The greens have come around significantly in the last couple of weeks and are close to mid-season form. For consistency purposes we had a few (2) greens that were slower to come around and rather than rush them and risk having poor turf conditions the remainder of the season. Hope to see you out at the club soon!

Good condition, moderate challenge

I have played this course several times over the last 20 years, always from the white tees. I am not a long hitter.

Silver Lakes is flat and always in good condition. It plays just over 6000 yards from the white tees. Challenge comes from some narrow fairways, some water, some bunkering, and some narrow greens that demand an accurate approach shot. Some greens have significant breaks, but the greens were pretty slow this May - early in season to be cutting them short.

It is pretty reliable - good shape, good reception, reasonable challenge. Not a hard course, but not too easy for the average golfer. Mature trees separate holes, but you are often not too far from other golfers.

Driving range is into a lake and is always windy. Weakest feature of the course.

First hole is a shortish 4 to warm up; keep the driver in the bag.

Second hole has water before the green; might want to keep the driver in the bag.

Third is a par 3 over water; centre of green is protected by a difficult bunker. You might want to play to either side of the green; long can be woods. (Par 3s are not long.)

Fourth bends left, so you need to control your driver. Narrow green is tough to hit.

disappointed

I have played here a couple times over the last couple years. But have been disappointed with the quality of the course. Now in there defence I have been going to them early in the season when it is the best value so that could explain why there course is in such poor shape. This year they had 2 temporary greens and if I remember correctly they had a couple of temp greens last year too. Today is May 16th I have played 9 rounds since April 24th and they were by far the worse. I wish them luck and hope the course comes around when the weather gets better. I'll be reconsidering playing there again. Especially if its early in the season.

Golf In April

Have played this course before and really enjoy it. This time the conditions were somewhat poor, since it was early in the season. First couple of holes had the greens closed off completely, and the fairways were sopping wet. May have been better to wait a bit!

Early Season

Silver Lakes is a wonderful test of golf : it is a beautiful course. It would be one of my first choices in the area at all times.

Some winter damage has left the 2nd and 3rd holes with temporary greens. (Which I would note are actually not bad / and don't really diminish the holes themselves by much)

It's a low lying course / so it is pretty soggy - but it is still a great track even given the conditions.

Great end to our season of golf

The weather man didn't come though with the mainly sunny day, but the 45 degree temp was tolerable. The coarse was fabulous compared to our home course. With all the leaves down, the grounds crew have done a great job in clearing the fairways. The traps and fairways were first rate and didn't reflect the final days of the season. We would like to come back when all the leaves are on the trees...the course would be stunning.
