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.

Cranberry

The course was ok.

They are low on electric cart supply.

Too much money for the calibre of course.

Greens unavailable

Purchased this Green fee off golf now for what I thought was a good deal, at $63 for 18 holes. Half of the greens we weren't allowed to play on due to maintenance. The flag stick was jammed into the ground in the Fairway about 50 to 100 yards short of each hole. I understand that it's early in the season and they want to get the greens in good shape, but what surprised me the most was absolutely NO ONE told me about this before I teed off. It wasn't posted on the Golf Now website, and no one in the Pro Shop, nor the starter, told me before I teed off that most of the greens were unplayable. I estimate about 8 or 9 pins were in the Fairway. Had I known that in advanced, I wouldn't have driven an hour nor paid $63 to play. Other then that, it's a nice course and staff are friendly.

8 pins in fairway with no notice.

Horribly disappointed that 8 greens were out of play. No notice whatsoever. Never would have booked if this what advertised.

Awesome Day

Our group of 4, started out with the 2nd group out so pace was fantastic. No looking for lost balls as poison ivy was prevelent everywhere....oh well, so much for that ball.

Greens rolled nicely and where true. Hole number 9 was showing some neglect on the fairway but thats my ohly issue, so overall, very good condition.

Morning Dew!

Tee'd off early and the day started a bit cool but by the 3rd hole, it was perfect.

Course played a bit long (or maybe I was just a bit short)

Greens are nice and fast, but true.

Loved it....wish it was a bit closer to home!

Good pace of play

Played this course July 26th. Despite a lot of rain in the past day course was in excellent condition. Was 90% with carts down the center of fairway.

Great unique holes that offer great risk reward of the tee. Greens were receptive, true and rolled fair.

Value for Money

For $90 , i expected a better conditioned course. The course didn’t warrant the price. $65 would have been more appropriate.

Not worthy of the general review

The pace is so poor. Although it was on a Saturday, pace of play was so bad. The groups in front moved so slowly. We spent 5.5 hours to finish to game.

Nice layout.

Course is setup for any level of golfer if playing the right tees. It had rained the night before so there was plenty of standing water and soft spots even in the bunkers. The carts were only cart path. Not sure if the cart path only rule was what slowed played but after the 2nd hole we waited (our foursome) on every shot for the remainder of the round. The round took 5 hours and normally it is between 3.5-4 hours. The greens were smooth, true and receptive of inbound shots but just a little slow, perhaps due to the rain. Bunkers were wet with packed sand.
