Fun, scenic course with great staff and amenities

Lora Bay is a must play in the Blue Mountains. Awesome views of Georgian Bay, although the wind coming off the bay can make a few holes a challenge!

Always in phenomenal shape and a great layout. Lots of fun holes, especially 15. The approach shot on 9 might is one of my fav shots on the Niagara Escarpment.

There’s a reason Gretzky has held his tournament here in the past. Check out this track if you’ve yet to make it here for a round.

Always enjoy planning Lora Bay
The guys loading the carts and the gentleman in the pro shop were very friendly- but when we got on the course our cart notified us it was cart path only- don’t know why they didn’t mention that beforehand?
Also I think it was the 6th hole was completely under maintenance - unplayable - again nobody mentioned that ?
Couple of surprises we didn’t expect or know about !!

The only issue we had was there was no beverage cart on the course. It would have been nice to have a few beers!

Lora Bay Golf

We added Lora Bay on to. Short trip to play Cobble Beach. While both clubs were fun we found Lora Bay to be excellent. Fun course to play and while challenging it is also very playable.
We were paired up with a member which gave us lots of course knowledge.
Great day all around.

Unfortunatly removing the personality of the course

The staff was very unfriendly. I thought either they didn't want to be there or they didn't want me to be there. They charge me a full greens fee to have my wife sit in the cart with me because she had foot surgery. The course is being re-done to make it play faster they removing all the bunkers and it just lost its personality. I love the course when I felt like I was playing in up north course. They now have so much new building going on for condos and houses. I feel like I'm playing in a city. So sorry to see the changes at Lora Bay

Great Course

First time here. My wife and I had a great round. Thought it a bit pricey at first, but loved the course and we will be back. Had 6 pars from whites and shot 88 … so even though there is water and sand, there are lots of getable holes. Beautiful views of G.Bay.

Slow Greens and punitive rough

Don't understand why the greens are setup so slow. Also several holes had very deep punitive rough. Put your drive in it and you're chopping the ball out with a wedge.

Scary

We had 4 members in front of us
We lost sight of them and apparently we hit into their group
They became very nasty and were looking for trouble
Kind of shocked us
Our t off was 12:40 and they were in front
Just thought should let u know as they aren’t the kind of people you want representing your course
