Windermere Golf & Country Club delivers classic Muskoka golf: elevated tees, granite outcrops, forest-lined fairways, and lake views that stop you mid-swing. Established in 1919, it’s one of the oldest and most scenic courses in the region.
The 18-hole, par-72 course stretches across rolling terrain overlooking Lake Rosseau. Accuracy off the tee is key — the fairways are framed tightly by pines, and the greens are small, quick, and true. The front nine plays through rugged Muskoka terrain; the back nine opens slightly but adds more elevation and water into play.
The clubhouse captures that cottage-country charm — relaxed yet elegant, with a deck overlooking the finishing hole. It’s the kind of place where golf feels like part of the landscape, not separate from it.
Windermere offers a timeless experience: strategic, beautiful, and perfectly in sync with its setting.
