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.

For the money don’t bother

They’ve let the course go a little, pace of play is terrible. Tee boxes were mostly hard dirt.

Beautiful Course

It was a beautiful course and is well maintained. We had a very slow foursome ahead of us and the Marshall resolved the problem by the 10th hole. Overall it was a great day and we would definitely recommend it. Good value for the money when booked through GolfPass

Didn't get hit by a cart, but got hit by some rain

Played through the rain today and the course held up marvelously, The lady working at the bag drop was very friendly. Got the cart with no hassles, the starter warned me about the 8:30 cut off and I was off.

Even the Marshall out on course seemed fairly sober, despite not much to do with only 5 parties playing the course at that time. All in all - it's a course I would recommend playing. Even in the rain.

Run down by golf cart

My husband didn’t see me walking in front of him and ran me down just an accident

I was able to roll off the fairway and a woman who lives in a house backing on the golf course came out

The twosome behind us called the clubhouse and they sent someone out

I was afraid to get up as my back was hurting

There was talk about calling an ambulance but difficult for it to retrieve me from 8th hole

I was lying on my stomach at the side of fairway

By now I decided that I didn’t want to go to hospital and was able to get on the golf cart

Cranberry starter took my husband back to clubhouse and woman waited with me while husband drove car to fetch me

No follow up yet from golf course and surprised that they wouldn’t have a board to put me on. This is a ski area!

Only got to play 7 holes. Feel like I should get some kind of a rain check although don’t know when I will be able to golf again.
