Settler’s Ghost Golf Club is located just outside of Barrie on what was formerly an important Huron Indian settlement. The golf course is an homage to the former inhabitants of the land, including the Huron Indians and emigrants from the British Isles. The golf course was built to maintain the historical integrity and scenic features of the rustic, rolling landscape. The dramatic elevations throughout the course offer stunning panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment and the Georgian Bay. Settler’s Ghost Golf Club is relatively short at 6,311 yards from the back tees, but there are still some lengthy shots that will appeal to long hitters, including the par-5 eighth, which stretches to 539 yards.

Great value, beautiful course

Played here for the first time and was highly impressed by the course. Fantastic condition. Several blind tee shots, but stay in the fairway and no problems. Really enjoyed the round.

Unexpected bad news.

We drove 40 minutes to play the course and were told at the 7th tee we had to play the back nine over again, started on the back, as the front was being worked on. We should have been given the option of doing this before we started and getting some sort of compensation ( or ) not and have our money refunded or rain check.

perfect day

A great day for golf on excellent course. Round was a good pace with no delays-if your ball went into the fescue say good by rather than looking for it not a ghost of a chance to find it however if you r accurate great chance to score well.

wonderful staff who make you feel welcome

come out and bust the ghost

Slow

I've played here many times but was not very happy this time. The front nine was good with an average pace and no complaints. Once I got to #10 it was totally different. They had started 4 groups of four elderly people and they were all together and told me I couldn't play through. Now I can't sit on the tee for ten minutes or more waiting to play so I just packed up and went home

Worth checking the course out

Greens were perfect, the course lay-out is challenging enough for any golfer.

Some of the holes on the front nine are very in short distance, however the first cut rough is longer and the second cut very deep making shots not landing on the fairway difficult. Greens were in good condition.

Nice but cold round

Paid for 18 holes with a cart but only played 9 holes. Too cold for this FL boy. Course nearly deserted. Very green fairways and greens in contrast to beautiful fall colors all around you.

Lots of blind (tee) shots. Nice course.

A bit disappointed when we played this course. The greens were recently air-rated and topped dressed which made putting a bit of a challenge. I understand the need to do this but it still disappointing when you travel 6 hours to play a course you've looked forward to playing for awhile. The course otherwise, was in good shape. I played from the blues but should've played from the golds. The only knock I have on this course is the numerous blind shots (many from the tee). We had to constantly drive our cart halfway up the hole to insure the group ahead of us were safely out of range. Would be a tough course to walk. I'll be fair in rating this 8/10. We didn't eat there but from what I've read the food is fantastic. I would play this track again.

awesomegreat c

great course conditions were awesome and so was food and staff

Found parts difficult to navigate and they need better signage

It use to be every course would have a diagram at the tee boxes to show you what the hole looked like. Nowadays no one seems to have and with satilte photos it would be so easy to do
