Silver Lakes Golf & Country Club

Course was in good condition. Holes are short but trees and water make it challenging. Way too long to play a round, 5.5 hours.

course is in great shape now that it's dried out a bit (and before the bugs arrive). Really enjoyable round except for two areas of concern:
a) was told by the starter that there was a Marshall on course to keep things on track , never saw him once the whole round..and we needed him on the back nine as it slowed down considerably.
b)The two golfers I joined had a power cart that ran out of gas on the 13th....they called in the problem to the pro shop and the problem was not dealt with in a way that emphasized customer service, resulting in the two riders carrying their bags for the rest of the round..very disappointing attitude from course staff on this point.

great staff helpful friendly, excellent replay rate, course was in great shape

Course was in good shape for 2nd week opened. Greens were fast and well groomed. No facilities opened yet (half-way house, etc.) and 1 Refreshment cart. Course is a good test and not one to play if your slice is being hyper active!!

great course!!! friendly staff....excellent value

Good layout with great bunkering. Not a lot of water but the obstacles are all relevant.

With the late wet spring some of the fairways were very wet and some areas of the rough were under water.

Silver Lakes is always a great time! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The course is still in great shape for this late in the year. The greens are pretty true. Less leaves than I would have expected, which is a huge plus for fall golf. I would play here more if I could always get the deal I got the other day from GolfNow.com

Great conditions for mid November. Price was also terrific.

This day we played there were way TOO many leaves on the fairways and greens. Clubhouse reception is usually 3/10. play there only if we get a deal through golf now.

It's a nice course, but not a great place to play in the fall. Too many leaves. Anything out of the fairway almost impossible to find. Leaves covering the green causes a slower pace of play as everyone has to clear off their line before putting. Also, was not impressed with the staff. Took over 10 minutes to check in, then we were not given keyts to the cart so had to return to the pro shop to get our keys...

If you're not paying full price for this course I definitely recommend it. Not a long course, but definitely not an easy course

The course was still in pretty good shape considering that it's the end of September in Ontario. Unfortunately, the falling leaves made it very difficult to find your ball, even on the fairways. If you hit into the first or second fringe, it was futile to even try to look for it. The groundskeepers were doing their best to try and clean up the leaves, but it was a losing battle. Other than that, we had a terrific round. The staff were very friendly, end even though it was a very busy day, the marshals kept the pace moving along so that we were finished in under five hours (about 4 hrs, 45 minutes). We will play here again.

I have played Silver Lakes many times over the years. I only wish it was closer to home. I would play it more often. It has a fair but challenging layout at a reasonable price. It is a course I would recommend everyone play at least once. It has the older golf course feel with mature tress. It is also away from the traffice and noise you find at many courses today. One of my favourites!

I would play this course again. Although location not convenient, value through Golf Now was great

I have played this course several times and have always found the course to be in excellent condition. Out of town guests that I have brought to this club have all asked for a return visit.

The atmosphere projected by all the staff from pro shop, starters, rangers to hospitality, very professional.

Started the day with a great breakfast in a bar type atmosphere inside the clubhouse , but you can also eat outside on the patio overlooking the 18th hole.The starter was easy to get along with and offered some local knowledge about the course and its condition.The day we played was a day after some substantial rainfall , and unfortunately the fairways were a little too wet in some places, producing beaver pelt size divots occasionallly.Upon arriving at the greens , the ball got more roll out than we expected ,especially after the moist fairways, but still probably 7-8 on the stimp meter.I'm sure they would be like putting on a pool table on a dry day !! Lots of undulation to the greens , and several multi level surfaces also.It's nice to have a course provide the option of 5 tee boxes,making it playable for all. At the end of the day , we had a great golf experience that provides a good challenge to all , whether a 8 or 18 handicap.

good<greeat course<too hard to find,quality purchase

I've played Silver Lakes numerous times, I like it, tough for when you're not on your game, rewarding for when you are but my biggest issue with the course is the drainage or lack off. Any rain will lead to the course implementing cart path only rule, I'd rather walk when this is the case, walking up to your ball with 3 clubs in hand is not something I enjoy. This happens yearly... As i mentioned previously I like the course but try to avoid post rain storm and definately at regular rates.

If you haven't played the course.. you need to.

Silver Lakes represents a really good challenge to golfers of all abilities - although it may be too punishing to wayward hitters.
The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The course is a pleasure to walk or ride and presents beautiful scenery. I would definitely play it again.

Will definitely return for another game on our next visit to Canada.
The best burger at all of the golf course in Canada, well done.
