Difficult course some stupid holes

Overall I like Oak Bay but they have made it harder and therefore less enjoyable. They moved the tess back on #1 making the opening hole much harder and from a gentle beginning to a vary tough hole. Makes no sense. And # 9 is a ridiculous golf hole. Par 5 with a driver, a lay up and a very long 3rd shot - get rid of #9

Breathtaking Golf Club in Muskoka region

From the time one arrives at the parking lot, the greeting from the staff to the pro shop was exceptional. The views of 1st, 6th, 9th hole are unbelievable. The greens very very fast compared to all other courses in the area. a total delight. Club house had great dinner and beer.

That’s not fescue

This use to be my favourite course , but that not fescue. That a forest growing between the tee boxes.
I know it a tough track, and you need to carry a bit.
But you can’t even see the other side and I am 6’ 3.

Nice touch

You receive a bottle of water, golf tees and a towel with your green fee. A nice touch!
Tough course. I lost 11 balls! But thoroughly enjoyed my round.

Short but TOUGH

Target golf for pretty much every hole. Very well maintained course. Higher handicaps make sure you bring a few balls and lower handicaps don’t let the yardage let you think this is a walk in the park. Beautiful course!
