We're All About Golf

Here at Muskoka Highlands Golf Club, we all have fun - members and guests alike.

Yes, we do have members – including many Junior members — and many membership options. But we're mostly about giving you the opportunity to play as many enjoyable rounds as affordably as possible!

We don't host a lot of tournaments, because that would keep you off the course! Most of our play comes from green fee players in our summer months, as we're in “Cottage Country” for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. A quick history lesson on The Golden Horseshoe:

The Golden Horseshoe is a densely-populated region centered around the west end of Lake Ontario. Most of it is also part of the Windsor-Quebec City corridor. With a population of 8.1 million people, it makes up slightly over a quarter (25.6%) of the population of Canada and contains approximately 75% of Ontario's population, making it one of the largest population concentrations in North America. Golden Horseshoe is more frequently used today to describe the metropolitan regions that stretch across the area in totality.

The phrase Golden Horseshoe was first used by Westinghouse President, Herbert H. Rogge, in a speech to the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, on January 12, 1954. “Hamilton in 50 years will be the forward cleat in a 'golden horseshoe' of industrial development from Oshawa to the Niagara River.”

The first nine holes of Muskoka Highlands came about in 1993, followed by an additional nine in 2000, under the direction yet today of original owner, Don MacKay.
