Decent course, amazing price!

Hands down, best value in the province! Decent layout. Not very challenging but overall, a very adequate course. For the price, it certainly can't be beat!

Disappointed duffer

Greens and teeboxes were in nice shape. Fairways were decent but a lot of the rough looked like it had been neglected...very poor condition. And when I made my purchase on GolfNow it indicated cart was included in booked pmnt. They refused steadfastly to accept this at the pro shop even when showing the details I had via gmail and a screenshot. I grudgingly pd it again but this defeated the reason why I bought this round and drove as far as I did. This, in conjunction with the course condition, will ensure it's my last visit to Horseshoe Resort. I will admit it's got some beautiful views and vistas. At least something was garnered from the visit.

Pleasant

Great place if you want a quick round at leisure pace with moderate challenges.
Provided you do not hook or slice, stay stay away as you will not like the trees.

Worst course in Canada

Do yourself a favour and avoid this “golf course.”

Awful course signage, terrible fairways, hard packed bunkers, pot hole marked cart path, unplayable tee boxes, are the most notable flaws.

The worst is getting balls hit at you from hole 2, when hitting off tee box on hole 3.
These two holes should be removed.

Turn this course into a proper 9 hole course.

In general, the whole Horseshoe Bay resort looks terrible.
They are running this place into the ground.
