Muskoka Highlands Golf Links is one of Muskoka’s most unique and affordable public golf destinations, located in Bracebridge, Ontario, in the heart of cottage country. Established in 1993, the 18-hole links-style golf course offers a fast-paced and player-friendly experience surrounded by rolling terrain, natural fescue, granite outcroppings, and scenic Muskoka landscapes. Unlike many heavily forested Muskoka golf courses, Muskoka Highlands features a more open Scottish-inspired layout that rewards strategic shot-making, creative play, and excellent putting on its well-known fast greens.
The par-69 course stretches just over 6,000 yards from the championship tees while remaining highly accessible for beginners and recreational golfers through multiple tee options and shorter playing routes. Golfers frequently praise the course for its excellent pace of play, relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding value compared to larger resort-style golf destinations in Muskoka. The club is also widely recognized for being one of the few dog-friendly golf courses in Ontario, allowing players to bring their pets on the course for a more casual and enjoyable experience.
In addition to golf, Muskoka Highlands Golf Links offers a driving range, golf academy, FootGolf, lawn bowling, tournaments, leagues, and event hosting services. The welcoming clubhouse and community-focused atmosphere have helped the course build a loyal following among locals, cottage owners, and visitors seeking a relaxed Muskoka golf getaway. Conveniently located just west of downtown Bracebridge, Muskoka Highlands continues to stand out as one of the region’s hidden gems for affordable and scenic public golf in Ontario.
