About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Excellent Course
Great condition and the greens were in immaculate shape. The course is not as long as I am used to, however, due to the elevation the course plays long. Got is for a steal on GolfNow and it was worth every penny!
Great track!
Always in great shape. Fast greens.
Must play in the Barrie area
Got a good deal on golfnow for this course. Lots of elevated tee shots, and also some blind tee shots. Had an interesting layout, with lots of opportunities for birdies. Greens rolled very nice and were very true.
very nice course
First time playing this course while vacationing in this area of Ontario, had a great time , course in good condition, greens OK not always rolling true, kind of challenging, lots of blind holes, will play again
Great value for a decent course
Conditions were great for this time of year (May). Also, its a great course during the buggy season as there are no bugs on this course due to open terrain. Other courses at this time of year can be a problem with black flies and mosquitos
Good short but tough course
Slow greens during our round and slow pace of play made for an almost 5 hour round of golf but the course is in good shape and an enjoyable experience.
A Great Day of Golf
The greens are a challenge on this very hilly course.
The course conditions were ideal and the staff very cooperative. All in all a super experience
Settlers
Great course overall a little slow today due to a class that was taking place ahead of us.
Great golf
Great value for my money loved the course would play again.
The Ghost is Good!
I like the Ghost, it's fair value for a challenging course. The greens are in good shape and tricky... The key to playing well is to put your ball in play (not long) and focus on short game. Couple of testy par 5s same on the par 3s and some good par 4s. A good test from Blue, obviously a real course from Gold.
Very good
Course was nice great condition nice view
Great vistas.
Challenging course. Good value. Lots of up and down with good vistas. Few blind tee shots you should be aware of but really does not interfere.
Fast Greens
We enjoyed playing this course. There are a few blind shots and a couple fairways that run close to each other, so sometimes you will find players going in the opposite direction on your fairway or vice versa. It was a great day and we would certainly play here again. The views are spectacular!!!
Must Play - Gorgeous Fall Views
The Golf Course is a moderate test - with a fair distribution of par 3, 4 and 5s. Some of the early holes are "blind" tee shots - which make it a bit challenging if it's your first time - but the holes are fair and the greens are lightning fast and true.
No straight putts - and challenging lay out - make Settler's an excellent play. The colors are AMAZING this time of year and the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
We had a quick breakfast but stayed for LUNCH and it was excellent.
I highly recommend Settler's --- the course is a must play in the area and a fun time!!
Blind shots
Excellent course to play except there are a few blind shots from the tee. Sand traps lacking little depth of sand and hard. Pace of play was good and greens were in great condition.
Disapointed
I have played Settler's many times and this time I was extremely disappointed with the conditions of the course. It looked like they were in some financial difficulties ( which I do Not believe they are#. The greens on the front were not cut # I played in the pm.# as they were bumpy with worm holes everywhere. The back was better but only because it had been aerated - and the greens were two putt specials! Whomever is putting the cups in does not use a plate as there were numerous holes that had been scalped by the mower. The fairways were poor and the traps not raked # with all due respect we did have a major rain the night before). All in all I was disappointed and shocked. Normally this course is excellent. It is a moderate test and fits my game as a senior well. Although I paid $35.00 it was overpriced. Usually it is double plus and I cannot even imagine paying that amount to play this course under the conditions I experienced. Too bad as it is normally a fun game at Settler's. I may be back but not anytime soon!
Blind shots
Several Holes , green flag not visible, Very hilly course. Recommend cart on hot days. Buying hole description booklet very helpful.
Very friendly staffs, Great local course near Barrie not that far away from Toronto- about an hour driving
I enjoyed the course so much with great offer from Golf now. The course is challenge enough, fairway is well maintained. The distance from Toronto is a little more than an hour driving. I stayed at the resort near by the course that was convenient. Would like to recommend to people especially when stay at horse resort because the green fee is much reasonable and the staffs are much nicer.
Settlers Ghost gave us a great day of golf
With our booking thru Golf Now, the staff treated us as special guests and graciously assisted in setting us up for our round. Starter, Marshall and refreshment person made the experience for my guests a special day. The course impressed the group and they are asking to do a repeat in the next month or so.
