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.

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.
Fall golf
I can only imagine how nice this course is during the nicer months. The course was in fantastic shape considering that a massive storm blew through Collingwood less than 48 hrs. before my round. The course was under water the day before I played. Would recommend this course to anyone looking for a bit of a longer track with a lot of blind shots.
Quagmire
Worst course I ever played as far as conditions. Every step you were in soggy grass, pools of water..if you are used to taking a divot, forget it, nothing but mud..Apparently this is normal all year, course built on a marsh. Cart path only made it even more awful having to walk, slog, your way to the ball & back. We quit after 15, closest to the clubhouse.Three foursomes on every hole, took forever. Be warned.
Once is enough
It`s fall and there has been a lot of rain but the course is built on what was once a swamp so it was really wet.
There are houses everywhere and I am just not a big fan of being watched..
It is a flat course and I just didn't find it to be all that much fun. I am sure many would enjoy it but jst not for me
Where were the Marshals?
there was a hour and a half frost delay that of course could not have been helped but this event pushed us to 3:10 start. The course was very busy as they tried to accommodate all players however we did not see a marshal on the course to encourage players to pick up pace. We waited every hole and in the end completed 15 holes only as the cats had to be returned by 6:30 and the sun was setting.
Cranberry
Enjoyed the course and play with local from the area, Bob and David. The pace was great, but with cold and rainy weather it kind of dampened the round. Would like to go back and play the course in the summer time to get a better feel for the course. Enjoyed the layout and enough trouble to keep you having to play in the middle of the course.
Great Day
Greens were great considering the time of year. Tee box (whites) were rough but everything else great
Good day.
Beautiful walking course. Just bring hip waders.
I never played in a swamp before. I loved the layout.
I have played in gravel pits. I have played between the rocks in the Canadian shield, in cow pastures, but never a swamp.
We were smiling at the end as we enjoyed the scenery .
