December - Thanks Fore The Bone Chill!

The Overview

December continues to deliver winter-like conditions. The weather stone outside is very chilly this morning – as close to -20 as we would like to get. This will freeze the ponds and lakes. Safety is always a concern. The winds will be shifting over the next 2 days, bringing chill and not so chill. There is no snow today but tomorrow looks sporadically white through the day. It is a real broken pattern coming from the NW – unpredictable at best.

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at -17C(FL -22C) and it will rise to -0C (FL -3C) in the afternoon and the drop back to -2C (FL -6C) overnight. Is that warmer?

The NW winds have brought a serious chill to the region this morning. They will shift such that South winds moderate the deep chill back to just cold. But then it is back to the NW by tomorrow morning.

Daylight Hours

Sunrise – 7:38AM, Sunset – 4:35PM. Like sand in the hourglass, 9 hours of daylight continue to slip into 15 hours of darkness.

Road Report

The plows have done their job and are mostly back in their barns. The drivers get a rest before tomorrow.

School Bus Status

There are no Muskoka cancellations at this point.

Course Update

Golf is like life – life is like golf. So it is hard to keep it out of mind – even if Muskoka courses are closed for the next 131 days. With the mild wet weather, we keep getting asked if the pins are back in – they are not. But why wait for Spring. The hi-def indoor simulator is operating and starting to get some play. The smiles and chatter all indicate a great time. Our simulator league starts December 1 – with 3 practice rounds before the new year. And the one round on the same course for everyone every week through the end of March. Prizing, skins – the game is the same, but the walk is shorter.

The Simulator is Open!

When the golf bug bites and you can’t find a tee deck open anywhere, what do you do? You head to Muskoka Highlands where we have a state of the art hi-def simulator at the ready fore your game. With over 20 courses, we have a course fore everyone. And if you want a gathering with golf involved, we have all sorts of games on the simmy that your entire group can play. Where do you think we have taken you fore this hole?

The Dogs

We are thrilled to have Wizard back home for Christmas. This is a break for him in his training to be with a child with Autism. And he is doing well in the program. Drop by to say hello!!

A Special Day In A Wonderful Setting

Weddings are a special day for many people involved. Here at Muskoka Highlands, we reduce that stress with attention to every detail.
But our distinguishing feature is our setting – both inside and out. The clubhouse is designed to hold about 85 guests and the picture shows how this can happen. For larger parties, we engage a tent professional to create a unique setting outside.
