Construction warning

First time at this course and it was probably a little better than I expected based on the terrible reviews. Pretty challenging due to the multiple elevations and raveens/hills. There should definitely be a warning upon booking about the massive construction happening around the course though...cranes and tractors can be seen around multiple holes, and the construction noise is constant. I'll give it another shot some time though based on decent value and good location.

Get the cart for 18 Holes

Played Klondike and Frontier and made the mistake of walking. It’s a very long course to walk 18 Holes, and was extremely slow today (probably due to 21 degrees in November) with like 10,000 people on the course. It was a painful 4.5+ hour round as a single behind multiple slow groups that was even more painful walking. On a positive note it’s a nice course that is very challenging due to the turtle back greens, and the staff is very friendly. Will go back and only walk 9 or cart 18 and hope it won’t be as crazy busy.

As advertised

Got lucky with a really good Hot Deal, and really enjoyed the experience. This course is a beauty for those that can afford it, and I'll definitely be back the next time I see a good deal. No way would I pay $105 per round for this or any course, but it is as good as advertised. Very technical course that is challenging and very well maintained. Professionally run start to finish. Greens are the toughest to read and most challenging of any course I've played this year, and the multiple elevations on each hole make it a handful for sure. Great day of golf and will be back sometime for sure on another Hot Deal, when I get a raise, or when I win the lottery!

Good value course

First time at Silver Brooke on a brisk day of 0 degrees. Very friendly and welcoming staff, course is well maintained, enjoyable layout, and comfortable overall environment. Shot my all-time low score today, and am looking forward to going back on a warmer day.

Good value, decent course

Very swampy and wet conditions today, but that’s to be expected the day after a tornado/rainstorm. Overall the course is well laid out, fun to play, and good value for the money. Staff was very friendly as well, and so were the other golfers. I’m looking forward to going back another day with better conditions...will just make sure there’s no rain for a couple of days prior to playing. Good value course and not sure why there are so many poor reviews.

Discount course at premium price

Course should be priced at a discount rate to reflect the low budget nature of the course. If it was priced in the $20-25 range I wouldn’t have minded it, because that is the type of discount experience it was...but no way should I have had to pay $41 which is a comparable price to WAAAAY nicer courses in the Barrie area. The low quality experience starts when you have to take 3 detours to get around the road closures and massive construction zone in front of the course. Then the low quality experience continues when you get out of your car and hear the constant noise from Hwy 400, see that there is no clubhouse, indoor bathrooms, or any other off-course amenities. Then you get on to the course and see that there is no yardage listed on the Hole markers, there are no markers to tell you the directions of most of the bizarrely laid out holes, and that the course is maintained to a decent to substandard level. I was curious to try this course because I drive by it every day on Hwy 400, but I won’t go back until it is priced appropriately as the discount, second-rate golf course that it is.

Great course, great value

Have played Simoro 3 times this season, and going back at least once more. Great staff, good pace of play, very challenging course, and good value for the money. Only negative is that the course doesn’t handle water very well and some areas can get pretty swampy after rain. But overall it’s probably my favourite course in the Barrie area and will consider getting a membership for next season or joining their Men’s League.

Decent course, terrible staff

I’ve tried to write a negative review twice of the horrible experience I had at Springwater with rude staff, but the reviews have been blocked...probably because of the profanity that I wrote that was directed towards me by the staff there. So instead of writing down the profanity I will just say that both times I went to Springwater this month (2nd time because of a rain check certificate), I was disrespected by the staff and I will never go back there.

Course is well maintained and is challenging, but I don’t need to be disrespected and treated horribly by staff anywhere I go, and there are lots of other golf courses in the Barrie area that will treat me with respect and will allow me to have a much better golfing experience.

Hidden Gem

Really fun course to play, and very challenging! Picturesque course in the rolling hills of Oro-Medonte...really enjoyed the layout, the different elevations and raveens, and you definitely need to use every club in the bag to get through this one! Will be a regular here for sure!

Have to fix the fairways and greens

Second time playing this season and the course conditions need major work. Fair price and like the course layout, but many fairways have massive dirt patches, patches of burnt out grass, and looks very poorly maintained/cared for. Also beware that if you’re walking, there is over 1K between the Front 9 and Back 9 which is a rough uphill treck through the forest.
