Settlers' Ghost Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Blind off the tee
Several holes take advantage of the hilly terrain which makes the scenery enjoyable, but there were too many holes where you're hitting blind. Had to use the picture on the scorecard to try to figure out what hazards (including golfers from other holes from neighbouring fairways) might be out past 200 yards from the tees. I found myself having to drive up the fairway too often to take a peek to figure out the landing areas. A couple of tees actually have you hitting over/near other greens. Speaking of greens, although I enjoyed the undulations and tiers of most of the greens, there were several greens that had scars around the hole...annoying. Some of the regulars might want to fix their ball marks more often. Staff was very accommodating, but I'm not sure I'll ever make the drive north from Toronto again for that price.
Great Course but message to management
I will start by saying I play this course a lot. because of the great value, layout and conditions for the money. However this day I played I had booked an 8:23am tee time. When we went to the staging area 10 mins ahead of our tee time we sat until almost 8:25am I asked jokingly "how are you guys behind this early in the morning" the answer was "the other starter let a member group go out at 8:12 following the 8:11 group" Basically pushing us back a tee time. Yet the 12 minute intervals actually pushed us back until 8:40 before we were able to tee off. So to the management. DO NOT let this happen. It is not something that should be accepted. Members know the rules of the club better than anyone and they are also the first to complain if rules NOT in their favour are broken. Other than this incident PLAY this course it is a great course North of Toronto.
Perfect day.
Nice weather great staff perfect conditions and great member. Im from Montréal and i will come again for sure. Thank you for that great experience of golf.

Very friendly staff
Course was in very good conditions given the amount of rain.
Lots of unfixed ball marks, too bad that players cannot fix theirs plus 1.
Looking forward to playing again this year.
Well maintained course
Course was in great shape and played well. The only difficulty is there are a few very blind tee shots within the hilly landscape of settlers. Very good course though!
Love this course
The best course in the area well maintained. This course is beautiful and challenging at same time staff is amazing.
Great course
First time playing this course, as we were up in the Barrie area for a few days. I was so impressed with this course I had to write a review, which I’ve never done on GolfNow. Course was in great condition after some heavy rain the day before. Soft fairways, decent length in the rough, greens were in great shape, and beautiful scenery all around! If I lived near here I’d join this course in a heartbeat and play all my golf here. Highly recommend. Oh, pace of play was awesome too, and we were walking between two other married couples.
Great Golf
This course is a lot of up and down large hills and is challenging to walk but a very good course. If you hit the long grass your ball will be a challenge to find!
