Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging are the water hazards at Spring Lakes, and what should I watch out for?

Spring Lakes truly lives up to its name; water is a constant presence, especially on the back nine. You'll find strategically placed ponds and creeks that demand precision, particularly on holes 12 and 15 where a wayward shot means a lost ball. We recommend bringing a few extra sleeves and playing smart, not heroic, around these features.

When is the absolute best time to visit Spring Lakes for ideal playing conditions?

For the best experience, target late May through early October. The course truly shines in late summer when the fairways are firm and fast, and the surrounding foliage is lush. Avoid early spring if you can, as the ground can still be quite soft from the Canadian winter, impacting your roll.

Is Spring Lakes a good value for the green fee, and what's the typical cost?

We consider Spring Lakes an excellent value, especially compared to some of its pricier neighbors in the region. You can expect green fees to range from $70-$100 CAD, depending on the day and time, which is very fair for a course of this caliber. The well-maintained conditions and enjoyable layout make it a worthwhile investment for your golf day.

What's a unique highlight or 'must-see' feature at Spring Lakes beyond the standard golf experience?

Beyond the challenging water features, the course truly stands out for its commitment to wildlife preservation. You'll often spot various bird species and even deer, especially during quieter morning rounds, adding a serene, natural element to your game. We particularly love the peaceful feeling on the back nine, where the course feels truly integrated with its natural surroundings.

How busy does Spring Lakes get, and can I expect a good pace of play?

Spring Lakes can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings, but the management does a good job of keeping things moving. We've generally found the pace of play to be reasonable, usually around 4.5 hours for a foursome. If you prefer a faster round, aim for twilight times or weekday afternoons, which are typically less crowded.
