Rating 72.0

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.

Not very interesting. Very flat

Recent rain still present on course because of poor drainage.
Many more interesting golf courses close by now. Too many resort players with little experience will increase pace of play to 5hrs.
Course is flat but OK. 2 very short par 3's based on changes to design. Not my cup of tea anymore.

Nice parkland course

Greens had just been aerated so were a little slow, otherwise course was in good condition. It winds through forests with few houses visible. Not a lot of elevation change so course is quite walkable.

Great course at a great price on GolfNow

Played from the whites which provided a good mix of challenges in terms of distance. Some par 3's were long while others were short.

The par 5's were a little short for some holes, but overall the course was quite a steal at the golfnow price!

Nice course, worth playing

The course was in excellent condition, moderately difficult but fair. Greens were in excellent condition, fairways were well maintained and wide enough to allow off center shots to be played.

Good track. Will play the course again!

Other than getting a golf cart that died on the 6th hole and not getting a replacement until the 10th hole -which we reached by taking turns walking or pushing - we were impressed with the course layout and condition.
Tees, fairways & greens were in great shape and provided a challenge.
We would play here again!

Forgiving but Fun

Course is in good condition. Very wide open so it's pretty forgiving on those mishits. Staff are super friendly.....probably best in the area. Only draw back is course can be slow at times as you get a lot of "resort" golfers. Overall really enjoy playing here.

Good all around course.

The only negative is the bunkers are full of stones and when your ball drops in, bounces off a stone and out of bounds, then leaves a decent scuff on your ball.
Would love to play it again.

really slow play!

they need a marshall out there, we know it's a resort and people should have a great time, but they all have to know other people are playing not just them.

Well conditioned.

Played mid week and mid afternoon. Course was in good shape condition wise. Greens a bit slow, likely due to all the rain and lack of mowing opportunities.

Course is fair, but some shots where it would have helped to play previously. Enjoyed the course, good value for the money.

good shape; fun to play

greens and fairways were in very good condition, considering that it is a resort course and lots of divots and pitch marks don't get repaired. And our cart had no repair dirt.
There is a fun variety of holes and a good and fair challenge for all levels- just pick your best tee length.

Top notch course

The staff at this course were phenomenal. Super friendly staff; we ordered food a little bit before our round but it wasn't ready for our tee time. They happily brought it out to us on the course. The cart girl got us food from the bar when we asked.

The course was challenging with lots of variety. Lots of water holes and hazards. The greens were well manicured.

Got a hot deal so we got a great price. The only negative to this course is that the clubhouse is older so the bathroom/locker rooms are a bit out of date and not that clean.

Good layout can play easy or as hard as you wanto to make it.

No parallel fairways and great distribution of bunkers surrounding the greens. Course was very wet from previous rainstorms so some fairways weren't cut. Cart path only rules in effect. Greens soft and receptive.Greens putted slow due to wetness and found them bumpy but quite playable. Agressive putting was the norm.

Good Layout, Nice Greens, a Scorer's Course

This course now goes by the name Cranberry Golf Resort. I got a great deal on Golfnow to play here on a Tues just after 12:30 for $30. Was a little surprised when I got there as I was told they were aerating the fairways. Beyond the little plugs all over the place, which made fairway approach shots a little interesting, the course is very nice. Would have been a 5 star rating if this didn't happen. Good layout with holes working both left to right and right to left. The greens were excellent, if you are rolling the ball well, you can make a ton of putts here. The greens also hold shots very well, so you can be a little more aggressive on approach shots to get closer. The breaks are a little less than you think other than on holes 8 and 9. Course has 5 par 3's and 5 par 5's, which accelerate your scoring possibilities. Not super long, it was 6558 from Gold Tees, although it plays longer. Temps were a little cool (mid 60's) and the wind was very strong (25-40mph) during my round which decreased the ball flight and potential scoring opportunities. Would love to play this course in nicer weather. If your in the area this a must play especially if you can get the reduced rate as rates in the general area at other courses are much higher.
