Grey Silo Golf Course

It's always nice to play courses that take care of their tee boxes. Grey Silo is taken care of. A big plus playing in October is finding courses that haven't recently been aerated and draped with sand. The greens here were aerated back in August so they are in great shape this time of year. The only downside is that the course is relatively flat, so on the other hand, I can see it appealing to the walking crowd (although there is a long stretch between hole #1 to #2 and #17 to #18, so if you're riding but the group ahead is walking, be prepared to catch up to them before they even reach the next tee).

The course was in good condition, but the greens still show signs from the last aeration.
Overall the layout requires you to hit the generous fairways in order to leave a reasonable approach to the greens.
The biggest disappointment was the slow play. There are a lot of hazards on this course which slowed play as people spend time looking for balls and we were caught behind a small tournament and the marshalls were not able to help speed up play.

If your handicap is below 10, you probably want to play this course from the Black tees- makes for a challenging round as several of the par 4s are long, which makes up for the few shorter ones (<400 yards). The course was in great shape for mid-October. We played in very strong winds, which added to the challenge, as only a few holes are protected from the wind. Although the course is walkable, there are LONG walks between 1&2 and 17&18. My only criticism is that the pace of play was pretty slow (4 h 20 min round), although the wind may have contributed to that.

Golf course was in excellent shape considering we may be heading into snow soon . Cudos to the grounds staff ! Clubhouse and course staff were excellent resources . Would like to see more yardage markers , but an excellent course to play .

Knowing that this golf course hosted annual LPGA events prior to 2015, we were not disappointed with a 90 minute drive from the east end of Toronto and we found the golf course conditions and grooming exceptional even for the early fall. Although the clubhouse and practice facilities are relatively small by comparison, the golf course itself was very challenging and a must play and well worth the drive!

I love it, great layout, not tough but still challenging. You just have to avoid the fescues along the fairway as you're not allowed to even look for your ball and the marshalls are strict about it.

Great course greens were punched so putting was a little challenging but will definitely going back

We booked this time and then arrived to find that the greens had been aerated with a fairly large tyne and no top-dressing. Putting was basically random luck. I like this course (not the first time I played it), but courses really should warn players if the course is going to be in this condition. There was actually a fairly high profile junior tournament there that weekend.

We were the 3rd group of green fee play after a junior tournament. Pace of.play was slow.

I booked this course a week ahead and drove 1.5 hours to get there and brought 5 other people with me. We play this course once a year and go there for the difficulty and the great condition of the course. Unfortunately everyone was very dissatisfied as the course had just aerated every green. Golfnow usually indicates that the greens are aerated on the website listing, but not this time.

Greens had just been air rated. Should have been warned about this on website. Kind of ruined the round

I will play this course again and the value was great.

Not a walking course, lot of distance between greens, especially from 17 to 18
Staff very friendly, starter gave us some tips
All greens are high because of flood plane, ball will NOT roll onto green
Sand traps are fair, but some huge lips
Lots of environment hazards ,usually on left side of fairway
Fun course to play, 4 to 4 1/4 hours to play

The course is in good shape. Lots of divots on the fairways but the grass is great. Watch out for the deep bunkers. Can play slow if someone gets off course into the bunkers. Must think hard about tee selection as I blasted some drives too far into the fescue.

Nice course with wide fairways and large greens. Well maintained and scenic. The day I played there was no wind and it was a straight up round. A little bit of wind would really influence difficulty at this course given how open it is. Overall worth the drive from Toronto. I would play it again.

Grey Silo is definitely worth the drive out to the K-W area from the GTA. I forgot just how good this course is (played there over 10 years ago). Would return any time!

Great place to go and play. The layout is a challenge if you stray from the fairway. Hard to keep focused on the game when you look around at the views of grand river valley. A must play for anyone. The back tees will challenge the longest hitter, while forward tees make bringing the kids out a lot of fun. The greens are true, and the staff do a great job keeping the course tip top.

Course was generally in good condition although the greens were disappointing; fluffy, did not appear recently cut, very slow and did not hold line, tons of ball marks which is not the fault of the course but disrespectful golfers, come on people repair your ball marks!!

This is the premier public golf course in Kitchener/Waterloo. Well maintained, and well organized pace of play.

The only problem was hackers slowing down play. This course is not for beginners or those just starting to play. This is a challenging course.

Beautifully maintained course. Very picturesque and worth playing. But not easy for those who spray their tee shot or hit short. Many tee shots are over "junk" that you can't wade into to find your ball.

Definitely not a course to walk. Pay the extra to ride. Your feet will thank you.

I would say this course is worth play again. I can't wait to play it again in a few weeks.
