About
The Valley Course is a heavily forested golf course is the original layout at the club. The course is unique in that it has relatively short yardages rated with such high slopes mainly due to the tight fairways and numerous elevation changes. The driver will most likely stay in your bag while the long irons will be used often. The golf course is very tight, offering an ideal place to get some practice with irons. It is also provides an ideal warm-up round for the more difficult course at the Horseshoe Resort, the Highlands Course.

Golfer Reviews
Horseshoe Valley Course
Four old buddies from the old Eaton's days reunited to play. We had a great time on a course that challenged all our levels of play. We did have an incident on the 11th hole where one of our group lost a ball near the creek in front of the green and where he sunk to his waist in a quagmire (unmarked)...it took 3 of us to pull him out...a very dangerous situation. However later it was laughable.
Great Scenery and Challenging
Lovely views from several holes. Tight fairways make this relatively short course fairly challenging. Staff very friendly. Golfnow rates give good value.
The course had wonderful fall colours. A pleasure to golf this time of year.
The course was in good shape but was under repair.
If the weather was better I am sure we would have enjoyed it more.
Want To Go Back
I absolutly loved this course.
my dad, a friend and I all went to horseshoe valley and played the highland course and fell in love. a tradition woodland course you cannot see any holes except for the ones you are on. every hole was a story and for my dad and myself who are mid 80s golfers found it to be the perfect amount of challenge. my friend is a beginner how ever challenging found the course to be beautiful and fun.
the staff was amazing. the most difficult part was finding the course off the main road it was not well marked as you enter the subdivision which the course winds through!
Beautiful course with fall colors
Beautiful course to golf in the fall, the views are spectacular from most of the holes, narrow greens so if you don't shoot straight, bring extra balls. Was not impressed with the Crazyhorse Saloon, bun was stale for all 4 orders,, but overall the course itself was challenging & fun.
Fall Round
Narrow fairways with challenging greens. The pace of play was slowed by a group in front. They need to have a marshal on the course to get the slow players moving.
great value
very good value at %50 off. some tight fairways.
beautiful trees etc.
great value
great value for the 34 dollars with a cart from golfnow the course is in good shape but the carts are not
Good course - poor conditions
I called about two hours prior to round - it had rained for the past 12 hours - heavy rain - called about cancellation policy - I was told to call Golf Now - resort then told me Golf Now would call to confirm if raining - the resort lady said the rain would clear on radar so everything would be going as planned. We went and it rained on and off at least 10 times - ground was saturated - I will not go back
Very scenic
Enjoyed the challenge. Cart ride rough on the paths in rough shape. Greens very quick and responsive for this time of year. Would like to play course again!
Hit it straight and stay below the pins!
Course has very narrow fairways, smaller greens that putt very fast and true and lots of elevation change. Club selection is important in course management. Using irons or utility clubs are often the best strategy on a lot of holes. The greens are very sloped and very dangerous if you are putting from above the pins. Scenic course that presents itself very well. Criticisms are the the poor and rough cart path conditions in many parts. The carts are not in the best condition and appear to be rejects from the Highlands course.
Very Tight Course
Front nine you need to be very accurate with your irons. I only used my driver maybe 5 times during the round. The greens are tough, slopping in different directions and hard to make accurate putts. Good value for the money even though it's a far drive from Toronto.
Improvement Needed!
There is no signage on Horseshoe Valley Road or in the resort for the golf course/pro shop. Lots of pot holes, washouts on the cart paths and all the sand traps were full of water after
The previous nights storm. Foursome behind us were hitting their balls before we finished the 7th & 8th holes and we were almost hit twice. On the 9th hole I was hit by their ball as I drove away from the green. We were keeping pace with the foursome in front of us - in fact had to wait for them to finish their putting several times. No Marshall around so we called it a day and left. The course comped me with 2 free passes when I complained about being hit.
tight, challenging, and incredibly scenic
wonderful short course with lots of doglegs and unforgivable rough; the scenery was remarkable and made for a great day on excellent greens too/fast
No marshall = 6 hour pace!
Slowest round I've ever played. Groups of 5, seniors hitting 12 shots, a 25 minute hole (seriously!) with no marshall to control pace. One beverage cart (working both courses) came by ONCE. Back nine was AVERAGING over 20 minutes a hole, so we walked off after 4 hours and 13 holes total. Horrific experience. Grossly understaffed. Don't bother going there even for free.
Valley course
Course was in great shape although needs a driving range here as well, Clubhouse was under construction so never used any facilities. Cart girl was around to offer beverages. Mountain bikes riding down the fairways was a little disappointing, Again a challenging course in great shape where course management is key to a good score
Incredible fairways
Incredible fairways, manicured and lush to hit off. The course is breathtaking on it's own, but the groundskeepers make sure that everything not only looks good, but is good.
Staff is very good and friendly. Overall it was an experience I'll never forget, and not just another round of golf.
Thank you for a wonderful memory :)
