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
Beautiful setting
We have played this course a few times and again we enjoyed it. The course is in excellent condition. The scenery is beautiful and although it was very hot the day we played, there was a lovely breeze because of the elevations.
We had a Slow twosome in front of us and the ranger was very helpful in getting us through them and we played in three and a half hrs. We appreciated the great bargain that we got through Golf Now and look forward to playing again.
This course has characters and is beautiful
This course is very hilly and sometimes you can't see whether the group in front is still there. The staff is very nice.
The staff are super friendly, but the course can bite!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were greeted with a genuine warm welcome. Smooth check in and load up of the clean cart.
Starter provided a couple of playing tips and got us quickly into play.
Settler's is in great shape with clearly defined fairways and receptive greens. It is not particularly long and it tends to lull you into a false sense of security. But, be aware that some of those short par fours can bite you big time if you are wayward with your drive.
Beautiful views and vistas throughout the course, particularly the back nine.
Completed the round with a nice lunch at the friendly nineteenth hole!
Great value all round.
Great share, some cool holes.
Course was in great shape and some very cool holes. The par 5's are great, by lots o other straight holes.
Many blind holes. Not too many level lies. Great views.
A good challenge for the average golfer. Course in top condition
Nice course overpriced without a golf now discount
The course has many blind tee offs and is fairly short. They do a good job of maintaining the course but if you are required to pay full price it is not worth your money. I got on for $49.71 with a cart. That is the max you would want to pay not the regular price of $93 with a cart.
This course is immaculate
Great course. Links style golf course. Well maintained. Greens a bit slow but in good condition. Rough thick & green. Beware you never have a strait put. I would have given a 5 star but the car path is dry stone & earth which brings up a lot of dust mainly when you follow another group of players. I would play this course again.
Great Course. Challenging but it doesn't kill you.
About 6000 yards from the blue tees and 6500 from the golds, this course is a challenging but fair track. You must be straight or you can get into trouble with either long rough, trees, undulating terrain, or water. The sand bunkers could use a little attention as they were quite hard but if you avoid these it is not a problem.
Played as a single in fast pace and in pristine conditions.
For the weekend hacker in me, I came into this course knowing that it will be a tough course because it hosted the CN Women's Tour. I brought a few extra golf balls just in case.
I planned to get to the course early as I usually do but the drive from Toronto to Barrie on a Saturday morning caught me by surprise, it was unbelievably slow!! Mind you, I intended to play in the middle of summer cottage weather, but on a regular weekend. My tee time was at 14:00 but I barely got there on time, with no time to practise.
Playing as a single, I was greeted on the first hole by a threesome and because I was playing as a single the starter allowed me to play ahead by myself. What a bonus!! I had the course to myself with no one in front either. The course was well-maintained and challenging, with flowing undulating fairways and greens and small landing areas. This course required pi-point accuracy, even right down to the putting. Nothing hurts like a three-putt! The bunkers had very nice light sand. I finished the round in less than three hours so I went around to replay the front nine. What a gift because there was no starter after 17:00.
Asides from the horrendous Saturday morning drive from Toronto to Barrie, I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to challenge his/her accuracy.
another great deal by Golf Now
need more sand in the sand traps
lota of blind shots
great shap ,worth the drive
great deal on Golf Now
Good course for a reasonable green fee
Greens are in great condition, traps well maintained, a course you can score well on, as fairways are pretty open for the most part. Corned beef sandwich is outstanding!
Friendly and helpful staff
Stunning views. Great Shape. Poor Service.
This course is very well kept and has stunning views. However, the evening we played, we seemed to be one of only a few groups on the entire course. It was a very hot night and there was no sign of a beverage cart and the marshall came by at 8:45pm and told us that the hole we were on would be our last and to come directly in after finishing that hole. I've never encountered that before. I felt they made it our problem that they only had a few groups on the course that evening and for that reason we left with a sour feeling. Too bad, because it's a beautiful course.
The course is very hilly!
We enjoyed the course and challenges it presented however we were very disappointed to learn that the amount paid covered 2 green fees but only 1 rider in the cart and it was an extra $20 for the second rider. No where is this explained to the purchaser and we feel it is actually very deceiving. We strongly recommend Golf Now/Settlers Ghost change this.
Great course Great people!
I played here today for the first time. Was very impressed by the quality of the course and conditions. Staff was great and easy to talk to. Beverage cart came frequently too!
The golf course is fun to play and is in very good shape.
When we presented our Golfnow proof of purchase, the lady behind the counter was surprised at the rate we paid,from then on the check in was very cool to us.
great layout
really nice golf course along with great food menu
