Cranberry Golf Course
About
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.

Tight fairways
You don’t want to be left or right of the fairway. Challenging but fair golf course.
Lack of communication about course condition prior to booking.
Lack of communication about course condition prior to booking. Course was being aerated while we were playing. Course should have been discounted to reflect the course. I have played this course many times and usually enjoy it, but not today.
Great conditions and layoit
Cranberry conditions are best ever. House more visible the. Before but still a great track. Very challenging front nine but feel good after easier back 9
Berry fine golf
The course was in great shape, the staff were friendly, the weather perfect, my game mediocre. Will choose to play it again asap.
Tight but fair
This is one of Thomas McBrooms early courses. It's mature and a true test of golf. There are plenty of tee decks to suit all levels of play. You owe it to yourself to test your skill on this layout.
Great Layout, poor amenities
The course is very interesting with a great layout and it's challenging. The course is also in excellent condition. That said, I don't ever recall arriving at a golf course at 8am ... unable to buy a coffee. I passed a few Starbucks and Tim's on the way ... at about 7:30 am, thinking that I'd buy coffee at the course (I.e. Buy local). When I asked about clubhouse coffee in the pro shop the guy looked at me like I was green. He told me they don't open the clubhouse till around 10:30. There's a first for everything.
Hidden gem
Despite being a resort course this is a great layout and challenge for the mid to low handicapper. Always in excellent condition , shame they jacked up the green fees or I’d play it more often.
slow round
There were 2 twosomes playing in front of our 3some. They were very slow and not asked to play together to speed things up. There were no marshalls out on the course to witness this. The course is nice and challenging, but 5 hour + rounds make me crazy.
Course is nice and in great shape. Rough beside fairways is long making ball finding difficult. This slows pace of play on busy day. Greens were fast (perhaps they had been cut that day). Staff are friendly.
Cranberry Resort
Played twilight on Sunday and got the round of 18 in under 3 hours. Staff very friendly and helpful. Didn’t stay afterwards but the patio looks really inviting. Will for sure play again.
Nice course
Nice layout, staff was accomodating and very friendly. The fairways and greens were too long. the greens were very slow and fairways way too long imo.
great weather and had a lot of fun with my buddies. over priced for what it was.
Very nice course
Course is in wonderful shape. Pace if play good, beverage cart available on hot day. Golf carts kept running out of steam sputtering down fairway. Will play again with Golfnow.
Course in great shape.
Started a few minutes early, pro shop staff were great, especially Kyle.
Course is in great shape for this time of year, greens a touch slow but consistent.
19th. hole on the Deck is great, amazing view of Blue Mountain.
Excellent Course
Very enjoyable, can play 3 tee boxes to add 300 yards to each. Great staff, very flexible. they will accommodate your request if reasonable and conditions permit.
Enjoyable round
Always a good round at Cranberry. Course was in good condition. Pace was slow, due to the high turnout because of the good weather.
Nice course
Very friendly and accommodating staff... the course has a mix of challenges. Some holes allow for redemption from the harder ones. Really nice fairways...
Great Resort Golf Course
Very enjoyable round of golf. The course was in excellent condition even though it was the first day of the season. Interesting layout and just challenging enough for the average golfer.
Good course layout with nice practice facility.
1 Week before closing for the season and the course was in great shape. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
