Horseshoe Resort - Valley

I haven't played Horseshoe for about 10 years. Boy has it gone downhill. There are a number of holes they are working on for tee boxes and greens. My suggestion is close nine holes and work on them to bring them up to speed. Then close the other nine and work on them. I have been coming to Horseshoe for over 40 years but have missed the past ten. I have never never seen the course in such sad shape. I thought when the other 18 holes on top when it closed the plan was to sink more money into the valley course. The money never arrived it seems.

Indeed, it’s a good experience playing for the first time. Maybe, the improvement will make it better for the guests to next time.

More money and water will bring it back to its former glory.

Course has great potential to be top tier, just lacks the green and fairway conditions to be in that tier, only paid $60 for my round, so this was acceptable for the price.

The layout was interesting, but the fairways bunkers and greens were in pretty rough condition, but overall it is not an expensive course to play and would be ideally suited for beginners.

Loved the elevated tee blocks and greens . Cart paths are dirt and a little dusty with a couple carts. Some areas of rough are maintained but staff could do a better job . Greens are basically two out condition as 40-50% was diseased and tough putting conditions.

Was a nice experience, golfing is never bad . Marshals did a good job of ensuring the group ahead of us on an obvious family outing stayed on pace .

It’s worth playing at least once so if you haven’t , check it out and write your review/ experience!!

Lots of bare patches, slow play and no marshall visibility.

Expecting much better from Freed . They know how to create a beautiful golf experience at Muskoka Bay . Unfortunately they haven t spent the $$ to improve this course

Course is in very bad shape! Tee boxes are in terrible shape. Starter failed to inform us there is no green on hole 4 - they put the pit in the rough 🤦‍♀️ fairways are brutal ! I won’t be back! For the money they charge now it’s sad. Best course up the road Settler’s is in perfect condition !!!

Absolutely fantastic layout, extremely poorly maintained and definitely not work the price. They just built the new 9 on the front which is a par 33 and abysmal conditions. Hopefully they put some money into next year, but doubt it.

Overall the course was in great shape but a number of greens need a lot of work due to dead zones. Putting was a problem as you ball would bounce in these dead zones. Staff were great, location was excellent. Played with two other golfers and had a good day

What an absolute joke of a golf course. Half the greens looked like they’d been through a forest fire, the fairways were basically patches of dirt, and the rough hasn’t seen a drop of water since the Stone Age. Calling it “playable” is generous — there wasn’t a decent lie anywhere. The bunkers? Don’t even bother calling them bunkers. They were concrete pits you could putt out of. For the price they’re charging, this has to be the biggest rip-off in Ontario golf. I could’ve gone to Settlers’ Ghost for $20 more and actually enjoyed myself, instead of feeling like I just played 18 on a construction site.
