Seven Lakes Old Course

Par 60 courses get dismissed too quickly. A layout built around par 3s and short par 4s demands a different kind of honesty from your game — there's nowhere to hide a loose iron, no long par 5 to bail out a shaky opening stretch, and scoring windows are narrow enough that a single blunder can unravel a round that felt comfortable just minutes earlier.

LaSalle sits on the southwestern edge of Ontario, separated from Windsor by a short stretch of road and the broader Detroit River corridor. This is flat, agricultural southwestern Ontario — open skies, humid summers, and a regional golf culture shaped by easy access and year-round proximity to Michigan across the border. Seven Lakes itself draws its name from the water features threaded through the property, which on a short-format course means water comes into play with unusual frequency relative to the yardage.

For beginners working on ball-striking, or experienced players wanting a focused tune-up round without a 4.5-hour commitment, this kind of layout earns its place in any local rotation.
