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.

course changes

Course was busy but we still finished in around 3.5 hours. I haven't played here for a while. The course in good shape as always. Got a hot deal with the cart. I would be hesitant to pay $100 for this course though. They made some changes so got a little lost on the third hole. Other than that everything was great.

Would not play again

The course was in bad condition possibly the worst

Greens I have played on this year.

Staff at the course were very rude except the staff member in the starters booth.

Interesting

Played here on Saturday, to start off the range was out of balls. The starter was very interesting, he ridiculed us for wanting to walk the course, because he said it was “VERY LONG”. Before we started he was very concerned about our pace-of-play. He also failed to mention the surprise on hole 9, whole 9 was closed and turned into a very short par 3. The entire experience before teeing off was unprofessional. As someone who works in the golf industry I don’t see how the course gets away with certain things.

As per the course, it was not bad. Greens were moving well, tee boxes were average, and bunkers were very nice.

Overall our golf experience here was unfortunately a little sour in terms of customer service but we had a great time with the other players on the course!

Sand?

They need to improve maintenance. The sand traps are dirt.
