Bring the dog. At Muskoka Highlands in Bracebridge, dogs can walk the course with you while you play, and the club fosters a new puppy every year, from Hero through Gavin.
Every hole on this links style layout connects to the others, so you can play anywhere from 2 to 18 holes, in whatever order your schedule and the groups around you allow. Tee times go off 9 minutes apart. Fairways are wide open from the tee, then squeeze in at almost every green, and newer players get a 3000 yard course tucked inside the 6000 yard course.
The driving range hits off a full length grass tee deck, and the licensed clubhouse houses a TrackMan iO simulator. Weekly 9 hole Stableford leagues run Monday for ladies, Wednesday for men and Thursday for The Laddies, the senior men.
