The Best Golf Courses in Kitchener-Waterloo
From Grey Silo to the Grand River municipals — the public courses worth your round across Waterloo Region, each with a live tee-time price.
Updated July 9, 2026
Waterloo Region punches above its weight for golf. Between Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge you get a genuinely good marquee public course, two well-loved city municipals on the Grand River, and a ring of tidy country tracks in Elmira, Breslau and Puslinch — most of them a fraction of what you'd pay closer to Toronto.
This is our running list of the best golf across Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge: the special-occasion round, the everyday municipals, and the value clubs the locals quietly keep to themselves. Rates move with the tee sheet, so every number below is the live cheapest round we can find right now — not a price we typed in last spring.

Grey Silo Golf Course
4.2From$73· 18 holesThe region's flagship public course. Grey Silo runs along the Grand River in Waterloo with a modern, links-leaning layout that's in beautiful shape most of the season — the round KW golfers pick when they want to show the place off. Not the cheapest in the region, and worth every dollar.
