Cranberry Golf Course was carved from the picturesque landscape of southern Georgian Bay and has the distinction of being Canada’s first Audubon Society-certified golf course. There is some slight undulation in the bent grass fairways but overall the terrain is flat, making it accessible for beginners since there are no dramatic elevation changes or severely uneven lies. The front nine has numerous water hazards and plays a bit longer than the back nine due to a handful of lengthy par 5s. Cranberry Golf Course's back nine plays shorter and dryer but there are difficult doglegs and several large, strategically placed sand traps. There are also grass bunkers and contouring around the greens for added challenge.

Very nice course

Course was in excellent shape. Most fairways wide and in beautiful condition. Greens were excellent as well. Nice setting , courteous staff,. Pace of play on a holiday weekend was not an issue at all. Stay true and you wont hv an problem losing any balls in deep ruff lining fairways. Overall a very pleasant experience!

Food and drinks

Big tournament the day we played and only saw the cart girl once. No food on the cart by the time she came after we had to call the club house. Big tournament,

Put an extra cart on the course! Can’t believe they don’t think of things like this.

Nice Course

Nice Course, first time playing, quite a few holes leave the driver in the bag and use a fairway wood or long iron. If the ball goes in the long grass good luck finding it. Nice layout, good course would play it again.

Beautiful course

It rained the day before our round thus the course was extremely wet. Cart path only for carts and inches of rain everywhere. Had the course been dry it would have been great.

Typical cottage country course

Sadly, it was still quite wet, so maintenance had been delayed-- even the tees had not been cut. The greens were slow. Driving accuracy was important, but even moreso, the second shots had to be well positioned, as creeks and other areas of rough and swampy terrain came into play, well into the fairways. The fairways were often narrowed by trees I was amazed the Slope was so low, as it was a difficult course, especially on a windy day

Not for duffers

Lots or bush and long grass. Not for first timers. Good greens. Pace of play was very slow. I would play the course again but could not recommend it to the weekend golfer

Won’t be back.

Diasappointing. We arrived for a off 7:54 am tee off on a Sunday of a long weekend, only to to be told that the food and beverage staff would not be available until 10am and this no coffee was available. The halfway hour was still not open when we made the turn and there were no options until we were on the 16 hole and were met by the cart girl at 11:05am. At $105 per round, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be able to grab a coffee and a small bite before you tee off in the morning.
