Course Highlights
Silverlake's fairways and greens consistently impress, with well-maintained conditions and a thoughtfully designed layout featuring water hazards and multi-tiered greens. Friendly staff and strong overall value make this a course worth returning to season after season.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7029 yards
Slope 133
Rating 73.6

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.

Beautiful course

It is a great course very nicely maintained. It is one of our favourites. It was very easy to book tee time through golf now and was seamless as though I called silver lake directly!

A nice all day play even in a rainy day

Silver lakes is always my dream to play for the autumn scenic enjoyment. Tree lined fairway on almost every hole, it's challenging and also nice to walk like in fall in a park.
My friend and I played all day, even this was a rainy day. It's really a nice play and we promised to come back next season.

Very nice course

Course was in great condition. The side bushes have been trimmed on most holes, so that finding errant balls was much easier than other courses.

Review of Silver Lakes

Course is always in great shape; can be very damp in the spring though.

Greens are very challenging.

The course layout is such that it continues to maintian interset and challenge despite repeated playings.

I love it.

Fast good greens,great fairways, great walking course.

After playing many good courses with slow greens (which seems to be the trend now) ,its a pleasure to play a course like this with faster ,true rolling greens.You can not find a bad lie on any fairway. All the holes are tree or water lined ,and require a good variety of shots that must be straight and on the fairway.To walk this course is a pleasure .The staff ,all of them ,are very friendly and accommodating.

Love this course.

Other than being a windy freezing day,course was in great shape. Played in 4 hours as a foursome. Good thing is on a very windy day tree lined fairways protect you in most cases.

Beauty and the beast

This course is beautiful to look at, and if you are an amazing golfer and are totally on your game when you play it will be great times. But if you're off a bit, this course will make you pay. It's challenging no doubt, there's a lot of water and the greens are play like a sheet of ice. But my goodness this is a beautiful course. I was teeing up at one point and a deer wandered in front of me, about 20 ft away. It stood there and grazed a while, I took a pic and then it darted back into the trees. If you are planning to play here, I have for you a few pointers. If you have a good driver play it, if not leave it at home, slices and hooks will be punished on this very narrow course. Bring insect repellent! This course was carved out of a forest, and the bugs rein supreme. Take your time with the putts. Be ready to wait to tee off at least half of the holes, pace is rather slow on this course so budget 5 hrs.

Course was in excellent condition

My only complaint is that although we played twilight hours, the club house closed down and we could not buy any refreshments, even after the turn. I would have expected that they would have stayed open to service the players still on the course. Very disappointed in their "customer service".

Way too slow

Slowest round of my life -- 5 1/2 hours. Rangers driving around but they seemed to just be friendly old guys and nothing improved. Cart girl was an absolute misery. I don't know what her problem was but at one point she went over a bump and dropped about 20 plastic cups on the ground and she just rolled her eyes and kept driving. Are the players supposed to pick them up for her? Sorry she's having a bad day but hey..

Nice course but not mind-blowing and at that pace of play, I'll never go again. It was a holiday Monday so maybe that affected things but it shouldn't cause a total meltdown. On the plus side, they let you try out a demo driver if you wanted so that was a nice touch and the guys in the pro shop were professional and efficient. But getting-close-to-six-hours to play a round wrecks anything good they try to do.
