Beautiful Course

Very well maintained and acenic. Greens are excellent and they are always improving. Our day had two temporary green ion #4 and #7. Greens had been aerated but had been top dressed with sand. Ball still rolled easily. Weather was perfect and no one in front or behind us. Perfect finish to the golf season.

Classic Course

Great layout. It is a short course over 100 years old. There were 2 temporary greens that weren't noted to us.

Love this old classic!

We have played over 50 Stanley Thompson golf courses. Windermere was a partnership early in his career and shows some of his architectural talents. The course has been updated and maintained. A pleasure to play. Choose the right club from the first tee box.

Windermere

Be aware very strict on dress code. Must be tailored pants or shorts for men. Parking is also very sparse. No driver needed until the 3rd hole. Otther than that, okay course if you get it for under 90 bucks each with cart and tax.

Paradise in Muskoka

My wife and I played the Windermere Golf Course for the first time in many years. We were very pleased with the condition of the course. The staff have done a superb job of maintaining the fairways and the greens. The scenery is beautiful and the course offers a variety of interesting holes along the way. The clubhouse is lovely, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal on the patio following our round. I highly recommend this course!
