About
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.

fun but slow
not to difficult but a fun course the pace was a little slow didnt use any of course features would play again
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.
Twilight round
Course was in good condition, play was slow but sometimes that’s how it goes. Didn’t get to finish 18 but next time I’ll book an earlier time
HARASSMENT!!
HARASSMENT !! From the first minute we got to Cranberry golf course.. We played at a average pace and the Marshall comes up to us a said "You guys got two choices play best ball or skip the next hole the group in front of you is playing fast and you have to keep up".. At this point no one was behind us and we were not slowing up the group behind us, we didn't even see the group behind us the hole time we played. She came back a second time saying the same thing, we said miss we are moving at a good speed no one is behind us what's the problem? According to the Marshall "You should finish the round in less that three hours!" Then got in the face of one of the players in the group we felt very threatened and not welcomed by Cranberry golf course.. So beware of the crazy Marshall Play at your own risk.
Fun round
Course is in good shape. Lots of grass in the fairways. Greens were good. No issues. Was a bit slow but expected on a Friday afternoon twilight round. Very fun day with some new friends.
Great first round of the year
Course is in great shape! A few of the greens were recently aerated but otherwise no complaints!
Challenging but fair
The fairways are tree lined so keeping the ball in play is important. The greens are mostly flat so there are lots of chances to make putts.
