Muskoka Bay Resort
The crown jewel of the Muskoka region — a stunning Doug Carrick design winding through the Canadian Shield with dramatic elevation changes, granite outcrops, and pristine lake views.
The Honest Take
✓ I've played hereI'd probably skip the courses around the city — traffic is brutal and the rounds can be slow. Go up to Muskoka, and either on the way there or on the way back (or both), stop in and play TPC Toronto. I can't recommend that place enough. Once in Muskoka, Muskoka Bay is a must-play.
Some good budget-friendly options are the Ridge at Manitou and Seguin Valley.
Best time to visit: June – October
Featured Courses
Luxury $$$
Rocky Crest Golf Club
A Thomas McBroom design that leans hard into Muskoka's granite — rolling fairways, deep bunkers, and a seamless routing through marsh, forest, and rock outcroppings. Opened in 2000 and still one of the most scenic, memorable rounds in the region. Semi-private; playable through the resort's golf packages.
The Lake Joseph Club
Thomas McBroom's 1997 design on the shore of Lake Joseph — granite crags, towering pines, and dramatic elevation change that earned Golf Digest's best-new-course-in-Canada honors. A nine-hole academy course rounds out the property. Semi-private; playable via resort golf packages.
Grandview — Mark O'Meara Course
A Mark O'Meara design (with Brit Stenson), opened in 2001 just outside Huntsville. Rugged Muskoka terrain — granite outcroppings, elevation, and stands of pine — paired with wide fairways and gentle greens that keep it playable for every level. Semi-private; available through resort golf packages.
