Bell bay

Awesome value, went on a day when rain was in the forecast so it wasn't busy and we finished in around 3 and a half hours (light rain for 4 holes), I don't think I'd pay their regular price green fee but anything under a $100 can is fair.

Gem of Canada

This is the my favourite course in Canada. We played for $65 after 3pm and easily finished the round. A total steal at that price.

The only thing I'd change is to not ride a cart. Cart path only after a rainy day or morning means walking laterally across huge fairways to get to your ball. It adds a ton of time to the round. You're better to walk IF it's cart path only.

Gave off-course amenities 4/5 only because the clubhouse burned down a while back and they're rebuilding. They've done an amazing job considering.

Great day & a great course

Fairways were in great shape but the greens are a little spotty. Will be better later in the year. The staff are awesome and we can't wait to get back!

BELL BAY

The Pro Shop staff were excellent. Very attentive, helpful and friendly.

Greens and fairways were very good.

Could only play 9 instead of 18 holes, but staff said that they would honour a rain check for remaining 9 holes from Golf Now when they called to verify.

Great Fairways

As usual, we were warmly received in the pro shop
unfortunately the weather didn't really cooperate except by keeping other off the course. The fairways were in great shape, still a little winter issues on the greens. All in all a good day.
Waiting to see the the clubhouse rebuilt so we can sit around & make excuses for our scores.

Always great

The course is always in good shape. The greens after some dry weather are always fast and true and staff is awesome. The only bad thing is no clubhouse because if the fire last year but not much can be done about that.
This is always a great place to come play
I will be back

Great layout

I enjoy playing this course but the day I played was after heavy rain so the course was very soft. It was "cart paths only" which was an issue when the ball was on the other side of the fairway. Overall though I enjoyed the day and the staff was very nice. I would recommend playing this course.
