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
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.
would play this course again in a heartbeat
First time playing this course and although it rained we played all 18 holes because we loved the shape of the course.There was no cart girl because of the rain so the marshall asked what we wanted and he would get it us.He said no problem and a hole later there he was coffees delivered.Very nice of even with the bad weather.
all courses are excellent to enjoy to play..
each holes are like pictures. i took some of holes to put in to my camara to review it.. when i have chance to back to there play again..so great....
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.
Challenging tight fairways and very friendly staff
The course overall was in very good condition. My only slight criticism was a few divots in the fairways and some of the tee boxes were little torn up as well. The holes were designed with many challenges and really tested your accuracy. This is a course you need to stay on the fairway as there's little forgiveness if you miss. The greens were fairly hard packed and quick. I would definitely play here again, lots of fun. Just be sure to bring bug spray, as if you're in the woods, you'll get eaten alive.
A little out of the way but worth the trip!
This course is literally at the end of Yonge Street, the longest street in the world. Played Silver Lakes about two years ago and it continues to remain a gem in the GTA.
The course was in very good condition and you can get away with using a three wood off the tee on most holes except for the par 5s.
Don't forget the bug spray as there were ample mosquitoes in the bush area and around stagnant ponds. All in all, a very good course for the price.
Gave 3 stars due to value.
Got a twilight golf now deal which really is just a free power cart since after 5pm, the green fee is $39 which is what I paid on golfnow including cart.
Other than that, I enjoy Silver Lakes a lot, great track, conditions were good as were the greens.
A lttle damp in certain valleys of the course, mainly the wooded areas, so just keep it on the fairway.
Slow!
10+ minute wait at every hole
After 4 holes went back to club house and asked for money back
3 called in complaints
1 Marshall for entire course
Nothing but kids running the club/pro shop
The course was excellent.Thank you golf now.
The rough was cut at a decent height.The traps were excellent.The
greens were very challenging which is great.If the price is right i will definately play it again.
average at best.
too pricey with compareble area courses.
too many mosquitoes after rain and ,or on a muggy day,they
should do something about it.
mutch better on dry weather.
