Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club has been around for a very long time, notoriously known for…read moreridiculously fast greens. Once private, it is now a public course under the ClubLink umbrella. There are LOTS of mature trees, creeks, and ponds, waiting to swallow your ball. Changes in elevation make club selection crucial. Hitting your approach shot past the hole could make your next shot very tricky. Don't let the Par 71, 6,026 yards fool you. All of these factors can bite you before you know it. On this occasion, I was co-hosting a small golf tournament (28 players), with dinner following in the restaurant. The weather was near-perfect, with just a little cloud cover to prevent us from getting burned. Despite a minor hiccup with registration at the beginning, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We got everything sorted out to everybody's satisfaction. Our starter, Michael, was great at pacing us off the first tee and giving everybody, especially first-timers, tips on where they should be aiming. Marshals checked with us several times during the round. After seeing the scores at the end of the round, it appears that not many people took Michael's advice. The scores were abnormally high, even from the players that have been here before. After golf, we had a nice BBQ dinner on the patio overlooking the 18th green. The menu included crudite, salads, burgers, sausages, and desserts. There was more than enough food for everybody and it tasted pretty good. I had arrived early, before the tournament, to have breakfast with my co-host and another friend. The breakfast portions are quite generous and the meals were prepared well. I'll be back (even if it's just to find all the balls I left out there)...

Somehow, there was a mix-up, and they double-booked us and another group for the same time slot. They sent us a confirmation email, but for some reason, our reservation didn't show up in their system. Despite the initial crowd at the start, there wasn't much of a slowdown, even though there was a group of five ahead of us. Maybe they were pretty skilled, and the course marshal was driving by to keep things moving at a steady pace. Me and my partner got paired with another lady and it was a good time. It was SOoo much better than last year in terms of speed of us getting through the course. I mean the grass and ground on the fairway is a bit dry and hard so balls do roll a bit farther... it is what it is at this time of the year. Don't expect a fancy course. It's mostly par 3's and 4's with one par 5 at the end. Decent course for a beginner who can at least hit a bit further. Pretty open space for most holes with only 17 being tricky with a huge fescue in between the green and the tee box about 115 yards out from the shortest tee box (green). Good course to dust off my rusty golf skills.

Mill Run is a challenging golf course with three nine hole courses, each with it's own set of…read morechallenges. I played The Wheel and The Grind a few days ago and the Grind and Grist on Sunday. These are the names of the three Championship Nines that make up this challenging championship course. Each course has it's own set of challenges, with the Grind being the newest of the three nines. It is arguably the easiest nine holes to play but the most challenging to walk. It is designed around the perimeter of the property, going up to the highest point. It's quite different from the original eighteen holes. Personally, I like the unique challenges it presents, lots of changes in elevation. The original eighteen holes, The Grist and The Wheel, are more mature but a lot flatter, perhaps a little more challenging. Wednesday's round was a practice round for a tournament that I was hosting on Sunday. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate on either day, making the course less appealing than usual. While it wasn't soaking wet, some of the holes, especially on The Grind, needed a few dry days to come into shape. That's nobody's fault but Mother Nature's. As far as the tournament goes, everything went very well! The setup in the morning, the check-ins, the driving range, and the round were all good. After the round, the setup was equally good, with tables on the patio, BBQ on the terrace, and the food. The staff were very patient and helpful. Thank you to Matt Savage, Director of Golf, for all your help in arranging this tournament! And the staff for keeping us on time and on task. The food and service were all excellent!

Highland course review…read more We booked the highland course in error and it is an executive par 3 hidden away from the championship courses. I have played approximately 1400 golf games in my lifetime which is an average of about 35 rounds each year. I have played all over Canada, the USA, Thailand and even in Mombasa, Kenya and never have I played such a poorly maintained and dysfunctional course. The club house is a shack, the tee boxes are a mixture of sand and weeds, and even the cart girl had attitude. If you are even on a tight budget I strongly suggest another course because this is definitely not good value for the money however If are not fussy and you accept mediocrity then this might be the course for you.

I've been playing at this course since it was Cresthaven, and I can confidently say the new…read moreownership has taken it to a whole new level. The improvements to the course have been tremendous -- it's now hands down the best golf experience in the city for the price. You simply won't find a better value. But what truly sets Markham Executive Golf Course apart is the people. From the owner Massimo to the incredible team -- Ronak, Danny, Bruno, Tiz, Sonya, and Prakash -- the staff are some of the nicest, most welcoming people you'll meet. They understand customer service at a level you don't often see anymore. Friendly, helpful, and always going above and beyond -- they're a big part of why I keep coming back. Having grown up in hospitality, I know what great service looks like, and this team delivers it every time. It genuinely feels like home and family when I'm here. Thank you all for making this course such a great experience for me every time. Whether you're a beginner or a regular, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's a true hidden gem in Markham. Amir

It's a quick golf course at a convenient location. Out of the few times I've played in the last year, we never were ever put with another group. It's a decent course made up of entirely Par 3's. However, you'll need all your clubs in this course especially if you're not a long-distance hitter. A couple of holes are questionably Par 4. Bonus: There is a netted area to drive your balls and also pitching and putting area for practice. For a noob like myself, this course can be a tad frustrating. There's such a narrow fairway with tall plant growth on the side right on the first hole. So if you're using the first hole to warm up and miss to the right, say bye-bye to your ball.

They have a tiny restaurant, banquet, proshop - so tiny, it's actually the same room! The course was in great shape, the greens receptive, the fairways interesting with pinpoint landing areas.

One of our team mate landed it two feet from the pin. Have no idea how but we'll take an eagle on a par4. The banquet was a buffet style with the usual make up of salad, chicken, steak, and all the fixings.
