Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to experience Windermere Golf and Country Club?

We've played Windermere in every season, and late spring to early fall is truly spectacular. Aim for late May through September when the course is lush, the fairways are firm, and the Canadian weather is at its most cooperative. You'll avoid the early season dampness and the chill of late fall.

Is Windermere Golf and Country Club a tough track, or can a higher handicapper enjoy it too?

Windermere offers a fantastic challenge, especially from the back tees, with some tight tree-lined holes that demand precision. However, with multiple tee boxes, it's very playable for all skill levels; just choose your tees wisely and you'll have a great time without feeling overly punished. We always recommend focusing on course management here, not just power.

What are the must-see holes or unique features that make Windermere stand out from other Canadian courses?

You absolutely have to experience the stretch from holes 13 to 15- it's a real test and visually stunning, especially with the mature trees framing each shot. The par-3 14th, with its elevated tee shot over a natural ravine, is particularly memorable and demands a precise iron. It's a true highlight of the back nine.

How busy does Windermere get, and can I expect a reasonable pace of play, even on a busy Saturday?

Windermere is a popular club, so yes, it can get busy, especially on prime weekend mornings. However, the club does a good job managing tee times, and we've generally found the pace to be quite reasonable, usually around four hours for a foursome. Just be prepared for a full course, and always keep up with the group ahead.

Beyond golf, what can we expect from the clubhouse and amenities at Windermere Golf and Country Club?

The clubhouse at Windermere is a classic- comfortable and welcoming, not overly ostentatious. We always enjoy grabbing a post-round drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green; it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots. The pro shop is also well-stocked with quality gear and friendly staff.
