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
Course in good shape.
Course was in good shape. Charging 30 dollars a cart when people are forced to use individual carts due to covid 19 is a little bit ridiculous though.
The course is in beautiful shape
The condition of the greens has greatly improved from the last time I played here a few months ago. The course is in beautiful shape.
What a great day
The course was in way better shape than we expected for end of season. We had to wait a little at the end of the round (last 4 holes) for slower folks ahead of us but only a few minutes. Everything was great.
Course layout is silly
Almost every Tee shot that isn’t a par three is Completely blind. Blind shots into narrow fairways with very challenging rough. Any slight miss-hit, good luck finding your ball. The excessive amount of blind shots I was required to hit today seemed silly, the course layout on the score card is relied on way too much. To be fair, I’m not an elite golfer by any means, so maybe lower handicap players would enjoy the challenge more, but at the same time it seemed gimicky and good shots are heavily dependent on course knowledge. I certainly would never recommend this course at full price, i would never go back regardless.
Interesting small greens
Beautiful course conditions. Greens are small and interestingly contoured making up for the lack of length. Very enjoyable.
Another Great Day
We tried this course for the first time about 6 weeks ago and came back because the value for the quality of the course is exceptional. We paid $40 through GolfNow and that included the cart.
The course is a nice challenge and well manicured. They had recently punched the greens but the ball still rolled quite true.
Will be going back for sure.
Aeration alert - no notification
first time and unfortunately maybe last... I was very much looking to give this track a go as I've heard good things overall. However, the experience was less than desirable given the recent aeration and heavy sanding on greens. While I totaling appreciate the need and benefits associated with aeration and course maintenance programs but their needs to be transparency and communication. No booking notification, no check in notification it was the starter just prior to tee off that shared that key piece of information :-(
