One of the best rounds of the Season

We lucked out with the weather which I'm sure contributed to the experience but this course was in immaculate condition with the exception of the tee boxes that they were aerating. (no advance notice of this) No matter what your level of play this course offers something for everyone. We are Senior ladies so we opted to play a combination of yellow and red tee blocks so we could avoid some of the long carries but not miss out on some challenges. It was very playable and the pace of play reasonable. A great golf day.

Overall, golf is way too expensive - especially for those of us who are retired. A reduced rate for Seniors would allow us to play the course more often. We also had no help at the end - three men watched me return the cart which was a fair distance from the clubhouse. Guess they were having a good conversation or ignore old women! A word of warning - the adult beverage prices in the clubhouse are a little over the top. compared to others in the area but it does provide a pretty view and the food was good.

Pre-Muskoka Course

Why drive to Muskoka to play when you’re already there with this gem of a course. Keep your ball straight is the name of the game for many of these holes. Beauty of a course.

Course is in excellent condition

Fairways and greens are in immaculate condition. I lost too many balls but that's not the course's fault. I totally enjoyed the course in spite of that.

Driving range needed

Tough course, well maintained, but a little overpriced. Staff friendliness good, slow play an issue especially for the price.
Overall good course, but not for a beginner or inexperienced golfer.
