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.

Poor value for the money due to poor pace of play and weak marshaling.

The course is well laid out and fairly well maintained. We played just after a tournament, so several fairways were pretty torn up with deep divots.
Pace of play was terribly slow, with an open hole in front of the foursome we were behind. They were not playing ready golf and the marshal did little to nothing to speed them up.

A Lovely Course

Challenging, and generally well-maintained. Good value through golf now. Biggest issue was the pace of play on the Saturday afternoon we played. Still one of our favourite public courses in the GTA.

Enjoyed the course. Well maintained

The course was quite nice giving us a few challenging shots but overall was not very difficult. There were not too many places that you could get into trouble but I was playing with a beginner and even he only lost a few balls. The pace was pretty good for a public course.

The course was a wet mess

This course should be discounted in its current condition as it is a mess. They have flooding issues everywhere. One tee box is roped off due to the flooding. Lots of areas under water. If you stray a bit off line forget about it, flood zone. I realize they cannot control the amount of moisture they have, but while the course is in this condition they should not be charging regular season rates. Very disappointing.

Tough rough to hit out of. Stay in the short grass. Challenging

The course plays longer than the yardage due to the soft lush fairways - keeps roll-out to a minimum. The rough is sticky and the ball tends to drop down into it. Not one 'fluffy' lie all day. Made it difficult for recovery shots and chipping around the green. I'm not complaining about these features but note the added difficulty. The course needs some defense since it has a lot of open, low to the ground greens with little bunker protection. It's a beautiful setting and when they finish re-doing the bar/restaurant area it'll be a perfect day of golf. Very attentive staff.

Booking through golfnow

Booking through golfnow was really smooth and all worked out to be a fantastic golf outing for the right price.

Course conditions were quite good overall although some areas had drainage issues everytime I play there. Overall great course and friendly staff.

Made the trip from Toronto

Played Silver Lakes for the first time May 19. Looked at plenty of options within an hour of Toronto, and the positive reviews swayed us.
Silver Lakes is a well maintained, straight ahead course. An interesting variety of holes. Traps are well positioned to make approaches a challenge. Greens are in decent shape. There is a unique practice area...the driving range is a pond.
We paid $50 including a cart and taxes, and this represented excellent value. We will return if we see a similar greens fee.

Silver Lakes

Great track with plenty of tree lined fairways. The open space btween the trees made finding my partners errant ball easy. This allowed play to move along well and minimized "ball hunt time". The fairways are well marked and well maintained. The greens were a moderate challenge. They weren't breaking as much as they appeared they would. This will likely change later in the season. Overall, I would recommend Silver Lakes to golfers of all skill levels.

One of my favorites

The course is always in great condition, the fairways are as good as it gets and it's a great place to walk. I always have fun and play well here so I try and play at least 2 rounds a month .
