Silver Lakes Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Newmarket, a town in Ontario's York Region north of Toronto. Designed by Canadian architect Robert Moote and opened in the early 1990s, the course takes its name from the water features that figure prominently in the routing. Moote, who established his practice in the 1970s and designed numerous courses across Ontario, worked with the property's natural contours and wetlands to create a layout that emphasizes strategic shot-making around lakes and streams. The course plays through a mix of open and wooded corridors, with elevation changes that provide variety in stance and approach angles. Water comes into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to make decisions about risk and club selection, particularly on approach shots where carries over hazards are demanded. The design incorporates traditional parkland elements common to southern Ontario golf, with tree-lined fairways and bunkering that frames landing areas and protects greens. Silver Lakes serves as a private facility for its membership, offering year-round amenities typical of country clubs in the Greater Toronto Area. The course operates within the seasonal constraints of Canadian golf, generally opening in April and closing in late autumn. Its location in Newmarket places it among a cluster of courses serving the residential communities that expanded northward from Toronto during the region's suburban growth in the late twentieth century.
