Slow day!

I have played this course a few times and the pace has been more than adequate. Today I arrived and was told that they put two tournaments out in front of me. Very slow rate of play nearly 5 hours. Other than that it’s a beautiful course with great staff

Great course

Would love to play this again. Course was in wonderful condition. Greens had recently been aerated but did not affect play. Wonderful day.

Greens aerated and topped dressed

Usually play course twice a year. Greens were terrible due to aeration and top dressed. Disappointed I wasn't informed about the conditions prior to playing.

Had a good time, balls were sticking and plugging everywhere but still had a great time. Try to play this course at least once a year....

Pre-paid reservation not honoured

Pre paid 4some with cart included and as soon as walked up staff met me to tell me that there would be no carts that day. No reimbursement or anything offered as they said was booked through golf now so nothing was possible

We could not get carts on our day because of a bad rain storm but a call to GolfNow resulted in a refund for the carts.......

Course layout

Fun course to play. Semi challenging holes. Easily walkable course. I think the cart rate is a little expensive, my friend and I paid $21 each to share one cart.

Nice day at Windermere

Fabulous weather; course was in great shape. Golfs in my group ranged from 50s to 80s. Course has something for everyone.

Thanks to Will for being so accommodating. He's the best!

Beautiful Condition

Windermere somehow captures the feel of a cottage country course and a private country club. The course is in beautiful condition and is great value mid week. The par 4s are lengthy but the 5s can be birdied with good shot making. The design with tees and greens more accessible by cart allow for faster play. The course has a much more relaxing feel than some of the monster Muskoka courses. We will return.

Cottage Course

Good place to play 18, old style course with small greens. The course was dry when I played there. Greens were slow but it is early in the year.
