Silverwing Links

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to experience Silverwing Links at its prime?

We recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) for ideal conditions. The fairways are lush, the fescue is manageable, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and heat, making for a much more enjoyable round.

How challenging is Silverwing Links for an average golfer, especially with that 'links' in the name?

Don't let the 'links' scare you too much, but do come prepared for a proper test. The course demands smart shot placement, especially when the wind picks up, but it's fair and rewards good strategy over brute force. You'll find plenty of room off the tee, but approach shots require precision to avoid the deep bunkers and collection areas.

What's one hole at Silverwing Links that truly stands out and captures its essence?

The par-3 14th is a real beauty and a beast, often playing directly into the prevailing wind over a marshy area to a well-guarded green. It's a fantastic example of the course's design philosophy, demanding both courage and a precise iron shot to walk away with par.

Is Silverwing Links a good value for the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Absolutely, Silverwing offers excellent value for a true links-style experience in Canada. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a quality public course, typically around $80-$120 CAD, which usually includes a cart. You're getting a championship-level layout without the premium price tag.

What's the vibe like at the clubhouse and practice facilities at Silverwing Links?

The clubhouse is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for a post-round pint and a bite to eat - try their local craft beer selection. The practice facilities are solid, with a decent driving range and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's contours, so make sure to get there early and dial in your short game.
