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.

Great shape. Pleasant staff

First time playing this course along with a friend. Teamed us up with another pair who we got along great with. Course in good shape. Some real challenging par 4 holes. Perfect weather day. Sunny, slight breeze. Light winds.

No half way house. The way the course is laid out, after nine holes you are as far away from the clubhouse as you will be. However, the food/drink cart was out today. (Thankfully). Really enjoyed the day.

Good round

Pleasant course on a very warm September day! Course was fairly wet which made it play long. The course is fairly flat without views of the lake.

another enjoyable round

Booked as a single but paired with two other singles. Turned out to be quite an enjoyable round as the other players were also decent golfers with similar handicaps. Played from the Blue tees. Course was not too busy and we were never waiting on the tees. Cart person came around several times during our round, as well as the marshall. Course conditions were good - fairways cut, greens true. Weather was also calm but not hot. Still a lot of construction of new homes around the course. This has affected the layout a bit over time - some for the better and some not. Overall, still my favorite course in Collingwood area. Recommended.

Couldn't beat the price

$20 dollar Hot Deal. Cart path only and had been raining. Windy and wet. Greens were in good shape (a little slow due to the rain). Course is suited for a right to left golfer. Not very forgiving if you miss the fairway.

Course well looked after -greens are tricky

The course has holes that can be difficult as they narrow and lots of obstacles in the way.

I like the challenge and in some cases you can complete an 18 round under 4 hours. It is not an all day affair.

Not a bad course

Course was very well maintained. However some of the bunkers didn't have rakes and some of them were more like a gravel pit. Hole #2 had rocks in the bunker that had to be 2" in size. Other than that the course was great. Loved that It had a 19th hole. Cool idea to finish off your round with a short par 3.

Nice Course, a little pricey.

I booked this round through golf now and got a great price because I was paired with a member. Course was I great shape although the greens played slower than expected. Some interesting hole layouts and would recommend this course if you get a good price. Full price is a little steep. Member I golfed with was a pleasure to play with however the staff were unremarkable.

Fast greens

Great layout. Very flat course. Some nice challenging holes followed up with a nice short par 3 to if you're having a bad round. Greens were very receptive, but fairly fast. I will definitely play again if I'm in the area.
