Read the reviews and observed pictures before playing. It is nothing like the pictures someone posted, it's almost like they observed only the the worst spots. Greens are fantastic, they held and speed was perfect. The fairways are coming along nicely, there are many bad spots but no big deal just lift clean and place. The migratory birds are an issue, you can actually observe them tearing up the fairways. Staff was outstanding, Brenda at the front desk made the round fun before we even started, and food in clubhouse is fantastic. Give the course a go, just understand some fairways are a less than perfect. You will love the lay-out and the greens. This course deserves better reviews, give it a try.

Loved the course, fast greens, great fairways, traps are not maintained right now due to covid which is no big deal. It is shocking to me that some of the staff are not friendly and quite frankly rude. The starter in front of clubhouse asked us to remain at clubhouse until he said we could move on, not a single please or thank you, very abrupt, not expected at a course in a tourist area. In general you don't get the warm and fuzzy feel here, however I liked the course so much we will be back, will just ignore the miserable employees.

This course is about 60 minutes from Disney area but it is worth the trip. This course is in great condition, greens are fantastic, fairways just as good, one of the few orlando area courses I played that had green grass. You can see the work that goes into the course when you drive through the gates, they don't seem to cut corners here, course condition clearly is a priority. We played courses that were double the price and not near the condition of this course........ Play early or play later, course is very busy between 9 am and noon. Play it, you won't be disappointed.

P.S. They don't discriminate against non Florida residents, same price for all.

Let me start by saying course is in great condition, very professional from start to finish. However, this course is absolutely brutal in the wind, and the greens were hard as cement, they did not hold at all. It made for a horrible day. I'm a 6 handicap, when I hit a gap wedge into a green I expect it to hold, these greens did not hold at all. To make matters worse, the approach to greens was very difficult, small landing area which made the course impossible to score on. It felt like a ripoff since it was clear , water has not been applied to the greens. Had to search for a ball mark regardless of approach, Gap wedge or 7 iron it didn't matter. My golfing partner said too many traps and every shot fed into a hazard, we love a challenge but this course was simply put ..... Not fair.

Course is tougher than expected, mainly due to elevated greens, very little bump and run here. This feature made the course challenging but fair and fun to play. Fairways and tees are good, greens are excellent, very good value.

We have been playing the course for yrs, we drive up from Barrie due to lack of value in the Barrie area. The value no longer exists at Hawk Ridge, prices have been increased significantly and no spring rates. The course was in spring condition, fairways were good, greens were hard as a rock, would not accept a shot. Paying full price for these conditions is outrageous, we won't be back.

Great condition, greens top notch, beautiful vistas. Not many courses around like this one, has a very unique feel and look. If in Ontario it should be on your must play list.

Greens are great, course lay-out is really nice with scenic vistas. Course is not long and you really don't need a driver too often. However, you better be accurate as many fairways are tight. Great course will play it again soon.

Nice shape, easy play not to many hills if any at all. Love the lay-out.

Course was immaculate, greens were perfect, fairways top notch. Course is tight and if you do miss the fairway your ball is probably gone. Clubhouse is not complete, been sitting there %60 complete for 2 yrs, must be experiencing financial problems but you sure wouldn't know it by the condition of the course. Our round was slow due to an ignorant 2some of guys in front of us, they backed up the entire course, guess that could happen anywhere. This would have to be one of the best courses in the province for the money, value is outstanding.

Beautiful fairways, traps were the best I have seen in a long time, greens will probably be real nice but unfortunately they were aerated 9 days ago, need another week or two to be top notch. Mature trees on almost every hole, if you don't hit it straight you will be chipping out to fairway often. Nice layout, beautiful course, most would be pleased with this course, provided greens weren't recently aerated.

Course beauty is worth the play alone, every hole is different and challenging, nothing easy here. Greens are a little slow but I understand why, this course would be next to impossible for the average player if the greens were fast. Hard to compare this course to any other, fun to play.

Greens were in nice condition, front greens were a little hard but did notice they were just starting up the irrigation system, back greens held much better. Fairways were good, but the key was the smoothness of the greens, makes or breaks the entire golf experience. If you want to play a decent course and not pay the big course rates, you will be presently surprised with Simoro.

Greens were decent, held quite well. Traps were are not well maintained, fairways need more growth, grass is thin and very short.
