MaraHills Golf Resort
About
MaraHills Golf Resort (formerly known as Hyde Mountain Golf Course) boasts a stunning setting thanks to its location within the hills above Mara Lake, with views that span the surrounding mountains and hardwood forests. Les Furber, a well known name in British Columbia golf, designed this challenging layout. You'll be using every club in your bag and you can't afford to take any of the tee shots lightly. The golf course is routed through dense groves of mature trees and across deep ravines that make for some intimidating tee shots. One hole that exemplifies the MaraHills Golf Resort experience is the par-4 fourth hole. At 483 yards, the yardage may seem strange but you'll understand why it has so much length once you're standing on the tee box, which is perched 200 feet above the fairway. The elevation offers an incredible view but be prepared for a difficult hole from tee to green.

Gem on the mountain
Nice hidden gem on the side of the mountain. Challenging holes but fun to play. Great views over looking the lake.
A Slice of Heaven
Spectacular day on the most beautiful course out there!!!
Not easy to score your lowest number but it cannot be beat for sheer beauty
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Hyde Mountain on Mara Lake Golf Course.
Beautiful scenery
Very majestic course. Some difficult fairways will challenge all.

True mountain golf
This course turned out to be much more challenging that anticipated. There is no such thing as a flat lie and many of the holes play much longer due to the extreme elevations. The greens were difficult to read although not as fast as some other courses in the area. We were paired with a local twosome who managed to steer us away from trouble more than once. It was a lot of fun. This is a course you have to see once and then give a serious go another time!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Hyde Mountain on Mara Lake Golf Course.
Nice Course
The course is in good condition and has some great views of the lake. The pace of play in our foursome was very slow which detracted from the overall experience.
Thank you for visiting us at Hyde Mountain on Mara Lake Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Putter
The scenery on this course is simply breathtaking. We golfed with a regular player, which helped as to where to hit the ball on each hole. Greens were quite slow. Would play the course again, but not at regular green fee.

Fascinating course.
Wide range of difficulty from hole to hole, from gentle to extremely challenging. Spectacular views from many of the tees, some of which provide a lofty view onto the fairway below. At times an elevated target is presented. Each hole presents something unique. The course was in excellent condition and a great deal of fun to play.

Beautiful course
Very nice greens very informative marshal very challenging course good food good service
fun course
Wanted to go shoot balls at the range but they were out of balls???
No Range Balls
Got there 50 minutes early on a Holiday Weekend to hit some balls on the range to warmup. Were told there were no more balls. Go to bar and wait.
Went to bar and tried to order at bar and were told we would have to sit down and wait for our waitress.
Waitress didn't come by for 30 minutes so we left for our tee time.Golf course itself was great! Fantastic views. 5 hour round.
Will be back, but will bring my own drinks and food next time.
panoramac views

Great course I play it every time I am in the area!
Course is a great place with lots of really unique holes and some beautiful views. It's a must play with great value for the dollar!
Expected More
Reading the reviews, hearing from people I know who golfed the course, I was expecting more after I experienced Hyde Mountain. I simply felt the layout was strange for me, some holes that were odd. Scenery was great on a few holes but overall, It was just a very average course which I wouldn't do again.
Really, I was disappointed.
beautiful course
II really enjoyed playing this course, it had a lot of great holes, especially along the lake. I would highly recommend playing this course.

Frustrated Golfers
My golf partner and I booked through Golfnow for this course. Just to let you know that my frustration is not with Golfnow , but with Hyde golf course policies. We arrived early to the course in case there was a chance we could get out a bit earlier. Our arrival time was approximately 40 minutes before our tee time. We were informed by the front desk that we were early and we couldn't tee off before our tee time. I informed the front desk that there was nobody on the course, it was empty. This didn't matter to the staff. They informed us that all the golf courses stuck to this policy. I informed her that all the local courses do not have that policy. We constantly tee off early if the courses are slow. It did not matter to them, they said it was a Golfnow policy. This is not correct. This type of customer service was extremely frustrating. It's bizarre and doesn't make sense. Buy the way, as we made our way to the tee box we saw 3 other golfers coming off the course. We were basically the only ones there, no one ahead of us, no one behind us. Common sense must prevail!!
This is the second problem I've had with this course. It's the fact that any moisture on the course causes the staff to implement cart path only rules. Our area where this course is located has basically been in a drought for a few months. We had some showers the other day prior to our arriving at the golf course. (In the meantime I had already booked a tee off time through Golfnow Hot Deals which is non refundable.) We got to the course for our tee time and were informed by staff that it was cart path only. It wasn't even raining, the showers had stopped a few hours earlier and the sky's were breaking. Staff said the course was wet and it would be slippery. Believe me there was no reason for cart path golf. There was no standing water to be found. If I had not booked through Golfnow and already paid, our foursome would have cancelled and gone to another course that lets you drive on the course when it's damp. We were stuck. If you plan on playing this course check the weather days before you book. If there is a chance of rain book another course or you may as well walk this course. There's nothing worse than packing your clubs across a fairway to play your ball and find out you brought the wrong club. Makes for a frustrating day of golf.
The course itself was very playable and well maintained. It is some of the policies at this course I feel need some adjusting and rethinking.
Dissapointed
This is the second time I have played this course this year through Golfnow. The problems I encountered were not with Golfnow but with this course. I arrived early to the course with my playing partner and found there was no one on the course. We were told at the front counter that we were early for our tee time (by about 35 minutes) and were told we had to wait until our scheduled tee time. We explained there was no one else on the course and we should be able to tee off earlier. The person at the counter said "no you can't, you have to wait the 30 minutes." They also said all the courses are like that. I know all the course are not like that, so we let it go at that. I saw 3 other people on the course that day. This attitude at the course was frustrating and confusing.
The second game was just as frustrating. Our area has been in a drought for the last few months. Hyde is in this area. It showered a bit in the morning before our tee time. When we got to the course the sky's were clearing. The staff told us it was cart path golf only due to the course being wet. Cart path golf on this course is very difficult due to the large fairways and hills. It is a policy at this course that if is is damp it is cart path golf only. Check the weather before you go if there is a chance of rain go to another course where you can use a cart. In our case we were hooped because we had booked through Golfnow Hot Deals , and had already paid. If this wasn't the case we would have cancelled our tee time.
one angry player
booked on golfnow.com, we came from Vancouver & was l hour early. We were not allowed to go on early, she said it's golfnow rules. there were ONLY 6 cars in the lot & no business and people around. I said, if we were 1 hour late, then she would cancelled our booking, yes or no because of glofnow's rule. She did not answer my question. When we were finished playing, there were ONLY 10 cars in the lot
Great views
The Hyde Mountain course has some of the best views I have seen on a golf course. However these views also make the course more difficult and deceiving (not a bad thing). The only real negative was the bunkers, they had what looked to be nice sand. However they were so crusted it would have been easier to play off the cart paths. This ruined my round as you could not play a true sand shot out of them. Overall it was an excellent course with spectacular views and would have received 5 stars if the bunkers were maintained properly.
hidden gem
An amazing day and the course was in great condition. We basically had the course to ourselves. Greens were fantastic and the rest of course very playable.
