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.

Took a Day

Couse was in great shape, for the time of year. Greens were really good.
The group in front of us were really , really , slow. And the said part is, they were being held up as well !!!!!
Not sure if 5 hours is a normal round for this course, of if I just happened to be following a beginners tournament?????? Anyway, tee'd off at 11:30 and finished at 4:30. Long cold day!

Nice course

It's a nice course to play! Better hit it straight off the tee, or you'll be in the woods all day! It's challenging from the back tee. Aware of the pin location, it makes a different. Highly recommended!!

Fun course layout

Got in a quick round in fall weather. Greens were still rolling true, with several tricky pin position. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely return to play again if the price is right.

SLOW!

First off...Service was IMPECCABLE! Friendly and VERY HELPFUL staff. Prob some of the best I've encountered.

What hurt was the pace of play..waited every hole about 5 mins...seemed like too many tee times were booked close together on Weekend.

Tight course and challenging, greens were very good and balled rolled perfect.

Not many holes that we got excited about though.
Probably $20-$40 too much to play.

In my opinion...should be a $60 course max with $70 with cart MAX! taxes in.

Beautiful golf course

Very beautiful course with a lot of water and Carolina style woods. The greens are small and undulating. The maintenance is excellent.The service was not good, this also happened the previous time I played here.

good course for a short play

Very enjoyable to play when the pace is steady. Rewarded if you drive well on the tee. Green is pretty levelled and not much up and down.Sand play is relatively easy to get out of trouble. Marshall is kind enough to offer repellant for mosquitos cos of humidity around the course.

Lady will enjoy as well.

Beautiful Course with Challenging Greens

We are vacationing in Toronto and chose this course through Golf Now. We really enjoyed the course. The clubhouse was nice. The food cart came by frequently. It was a challenging course on a beautiful day.

August 18th foursome

Silver lakes was in great shape if not a touch wet. This is a great course. Really challenging holes that force you to be accurate, but you can score if you are. No cheap gimmick holes. Good value through GolfNow

Swing to the beat!

First time I have ever encountered a golfer audibly playing music while golfing. Not surprising since his entire foursome was drinking heavily and became very boisterous. The marshal helped us play through but the music continued uninterrupted in his presence. Members appear to do whatever they please here just as long as they keep buying beer. Otherwise this is a well-maintained course. It is very flat with the trees lining the fairway and water on a few holes posing the most significant challenge. Sand traps were in good shape with uniform sand depth however greens were wooly. Layout got a little repetitious as we progressed through the round.

Beautifully manicured course close to GTA

The course overall is in great shape and the scenery is beautiful and you progress through the holes. The tees are mowed nicely. Greenskeepers edge the grass around the sand bunkers, and keep the sand raked smooth. Greens are fertilized for color and health. A must to play and keep on the list.

Golf at it's best, just an hour from the GTA.

Silver Lakes which is only a short drive from the G.T.A. is a great layout that will challenge most that are fortunate enough to play it. Tight tree-lined fairways with both water and sand spotted through out lead to some of the toughest undulating and very well- maintained greens I have played on this year in Ontario. Silver Lakes should challenge all but the lowest of handicaps and afford you the opportunity to use all the clubs in your bag and if you don't keep it straight maybe a few of your balls too.

great day on a wet course

We arrived early and asked for an early start. The staff members were friendly and told us we could start right away. The course was still wet from an earlier rainfall that day, but I enjoyed the course and will play it again on a nicer day.

First time at Silver Lakes

Glad we found this course not far from our home in Aurora. Played the course after a very nasty rain storm and experienced lots of casual water. The fairways were in super shape as were the greens. Fairly mature course, so if you stray from the fairway, you could be in trouble. Good value for the money. Be sure to bring some bug spray. The front was a bit buggy. One of the marshals gave us some spray about the 5th hole.. that was very welcomed.
Great overall value!
