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.

Golfer Reviews
Good course
Good course, played on a Saturday extremely slow. Greens were in great shape.
Walk in the park
Course is always in excellent condition! Marshall did great in keeping pace of play close to 4 hours. Rough is a little healthier than usual.
Thanks for the comments "u000206697". We think our marshalls do a great job of keeping things moving and letting players enjoy there day at the same time. Hope to see you out at Silver Lakes again soon!
Great course but pacing problems
The condition of the course was immaculate, the staff were friendly and helpful. It's very reminiscent of nicer courses in Myrtle Beach in terms of course conditions, topography, services and staff professionalism. We played a wonderful round in the morning and opted for a replay. Unfortunately, there apparently had been a tournament (that we never saw any sign of) that had gone through earlier and there were enormous backups on the back nine even though the course was not crowded. No sign of a superintendent, I guess he was sent home b/c it was a relatively quiet Monday afternoon, but the result was 4 groups piled up on each hole and you can't expect people to leave entirely happy when they're waiting 5-10 minutes to take each shot.
Thanks for the kind words about the course and the staff "brucewmitchell" Sorry to hear that your second round wasn't as brisk a pace as the first 18. Hope that you come back to course again soon.
Sweet!
A little longer than I am used to from the Whites, but no forced carry's made it acceptable. Hit it straight and this course will reward you.
Thanks for taking the time to post a comment "drgrafix". As usual straight helps at Silver Lakes. Choosing the appropriate club off the tee is sometimes more beneficial then opting for the driver but sounds like you are already well aware. Hope to have you back as a guest at the club again soon!
great course
Greater was nice carried my bag to the cart. Course was wide open. Great condition. Very challenging course for a beginner. Probably my favorite course so far.
Thanks for the kind words "blueninjabron". Love to hear that you enjoyed the service levels at the club and as always our course is in fantastic shape. Hope to have you back at the club again soon.
This is a wonderful course
A great golf experience
A beautiful course with great facilities in a wonderful location
We agree with your comments "simoncolla". The original mantra for the club was "Escape to the Carolina's without the airfare" and seems you agree. Hope that you come out to take another stab at the course again soon. Have a great rest of the 2015 season!
Poor Value
For $75 would expect much more. Fairways are in good shape but Greens are terrible. Very inconsistant and very bumpy. Played here last year many times and greens were very quick and smooth. This year it is terrible.
Traps are also terrible. Very little sand in them.
Thanks for taking the time to write a comment "same313" Disappointed to hear about your experiences with the greens and bunkers. We have had positive comments on the course conditions this season but sounds like you have have fallen victim to following a group that was less than considerate when it comes to raking traps and fixing ball marks. Course is in fantastic condition right now and will continue to be through the fall when the leaves change colour. Please come and see us again.
Very Friendly Staff
As expected as I have golfed there many times. I keep coming back, that is enough said.
Thanks for the comments "toyman" and glad to hear that you have been back to see us. Course is in magnificent condition right now so hope that you're back for a few more games in 2015!
Great course great value
Course was in very good shape. Not overly difficult, but definitely not easy. Great value if you can find a underpar or golfnow discount. Staff were very friendly and accomdating.
Thanks for the comments Dino. Great value as always with twilight green fees as low as $30 walking which can't be beat. Hope that you come back and see us sometime soon.
Always a good time a Silverlakes
Always an enjoyable round a Silverlakes. Course is always maintained well. I've played here a dozen times over the years and pace of play is never an issue and course is always in great shape. Can't beat the golfnow rate for this pace. See you soon.
Thanks for the comments "Justtapitin1980" Hope that you have nothing but "tap ins" the rest of the 2015 season and that some of them are here at Silver Lakes!
Great course
Great course
Friendly staff and the course was in amazing shape for the end of July.
Looking forward to playing here again
Thanks for comments "wayne6196963". Course is still in just as good condition now so hope to see you back here through the fall months sir!
Great course and very well kept
We've played Silver Lakes many times. The staff is always friendly and the course is well maintained....even the bunkers (lots of sand so you can hit out properly...other courses are like hitting out of concrete). The cart girls were also available frequently since it was a hot day, so this was appreciated and they're very polite. The food at the club was also very good. They also provide a course layout so you have a good idea of any water and sand, which is very nice. We went to another course and it was very annoying...poorly marked.
Good value
Course is nice. Greens are a little beat up with divot holes.ake sure to bring big repellant. Lots of Mosquitos here.
Thanks for the comments Jack. Appreciate you coming to Silver Lakes Golf & Conference Centre for a visit. Hope that you are up to see us again soon!
great atmosphere
Always a pleasure playing here. Beautiful golf course and very strong layout. Will definitely be a repeat guest.
We agree Mr.Wheeler! Course is in magnificent shape now and mother nature is co-operating! Hope to see you out again soon.
Great condition
Course was in great condition,great playing conditions and great value through Golfnow.
Thank you Mr.Ordonez. Glad you came up for a visit from Pickering. It's definitely an easier trip for you now with the 404 extension right up to Queensville Side Road. Hope to see you here again soon.
Nice course, great value
This course will offer any level of golfer a challenge. I have played many courses around the GTA and abroad and this course can compare to most of them. The value is incredible for the level of play which it offers. Definitely will play again, want to try it when it is a little dryer out.
Thanks for the nice comments "sdelyannis" Glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself and we agree that's it great value (mind you we have a somewhat biased opinion!) Hope to see you back at the club again soon.
Wide Open Spaces
First impression was the staff were extremely friendly. From the young gentleman taking my bag and setting up my cart, the front desk staff and the Marshall who gave a quick course over view to us newcomers.
Course conditions were Excellent. Tees were clean, fairways beautiful - better than the greens I played at another local course. The greens were tight and fast.
The recent wet weather did make it a little tricky if your ball strayed to far into the rough. A little squishy.
One thing that surprised me was how forgiving the fairways were, lots of room, my impression before I played this course was that the fairways would be tight. Small mistakes could still place you on the edges of the fairways.
Overall it was a great day out. Never felt rushed by the staff or other golfers and the forgiving fairways prevented undue frustration with a bad shot because it usually left you with a decent lie.
o.k There has to be something to improve....
1: Obviously it is a choice to buy from the beverage cart - But the $$$. Crazy.
2: Buzzing Lawn Tractors they whole time.
Thanks for the kind words "sabio" and glad that you enjoyed your first visit to Silver Lakes Golf & Conference Centre! There is definitely some more room than you might originally think off the tee. The challenge comes in the 2nd shots to smaller greens. Hope that you come back again soon to better your score from your first visit.

Lovely course
Well maintained, lots of variety, pretty scenery. Suits all types of golfers.
Thanks for the comments "Esclisizca" Glad to hear that you enjoyed the course and the scenery and we agree that it is a fair but fun challenge for all types of golfers.
Hope to see you back again soon!
Top notch
This course is in great condition with mature trees. Nice water hazards and well kept bunkers. It's the first time playing this course and will definitely play here again. I would also recommend this course to my friends.
Thanks for your comments Don. Glad to hear that you came to visit and not a long trip from Barrie. Course is in amazing shape right now so hope to have you back again soon.

great way to spend the afternoon
Course is in great shape, a little soggy in places, but well worth it. I would recommend
Thanks for the comments "uGRHV3009GR". It's been a rather damp June to say the least but the warm/dry weather the last couple of days has us in great shape. Hope to see you back at the club again soon!
Sorry to hear it was a bit of a slow go out here for you Moe. Greens are still in great shape and running nicely. Hope to see you out at Silver Lakes for another fall game perhaps!
Thanks for the feedback "Moe6150704". Glad to hear that you enjoyed the course conditions and hope to have you back again soon!
