Bellmere Winds Golf Club

About
Situated in the center of Kawarthas on the northern shore of Rice Lake, Bellmere Winds Golf Club offers scenic views of the water from every hole. This 18-hole golf course features plenty of elevation changes and a few doglegs added in for more challenges. The topography causes a few uneven lies, it also makes the golf course very difficult to walk, and there are also natural ditches around the narrow fairways that can be treacherous to any errant shots. All of the par 3s have a pond and there are strategically placed sand bunkers throughout. Bellmere Winds Golf Club is conveniently located only 25 minutes from Peterborough.

Good to the last hole
Always beautiful to look at and play
A challenge but fair
Long (enough) but a fun challenge
Getting Busy
The course is very nice and challenging. It is also very popular and without marshals to mive slower players along. Still good value for the cost.
Very busy and needs a marshal
This is a challenging course and very busy. Expect a 5h round and to lose a fair number of balls. The rough is very deep. Many holes have long carries to make the fairway. On a hot busy afternoon, the foursome in front of us felt entitled to take mulligans even though they were well behind the group in front. Most of the time their mulligans were as lost as their first shots. A marshal is needed to address pace of play.
Excellent
This is a great course well laid out. Beautiful and somewhat difficult. Worth the money one hundred percent.
Yes, long but rewarding
Always a challenge because of length and terrain changes
Greens suffering under the heat
Challenging
Very nice course. Challenging and well laid out with views of the lake on many holes.
Brutally Slow
Played last Thursday in the early afternoon. The course is scenic and the greens are very good. The pace of play is beyond slow. It took over 4 hours to play 14 holes and we quit after that. There is no Marshal to push slow groups along and there was a wait on every single hole. There were 3 groups waiting to tee off when we arrived at the 10th hole. The course was definitely over booked. I would hate to see what it’s like on a weekend or in the peak summer months. I definitely won’t be back.
Great Course
Challenging and very picturesque. Well maintained and great staff.
Gorgeous views, tough course, gorgeous fall day
We played the course on a beautiful Oct afternoon sunny and 23 degrees The course is in great shape with tough undulating greens and many great views of rice lake from high elevated tees that are fun to drive from although intimidating on a few tighter holes. Some mid length par 3s with water and bunkers were fun. A good variety of par 4s with well placed bunkers of different lengths to challenge golfers. Overall I was very impressed as I hadn't played before and am a member at a nice private course.
Overall best views in the region
Challenging greens and course but fun.
Staff very friendly.
Not to be picky but for the future if it was possible to make room for a driving range for warmup.
(I'm an erratic 8 handicap and double bogeyed a couple of holes early with wayward drives from not warming up well then straightened it out to shoot 79 with 3 birdies and a 79 right at my handicap index). My partner is a higher handicap and hits the ball farther and he started scrambly too then settled in after a few holes as well. I at first thought the practice green was a bit unusual with big hills and undulations but once we played I found it it's a good warm up for the actual greens.
Also to help themselves out giving sand/seed in the carts or boxes on the tee boxes are a cheap and helpful way to keep the tee boxes nicer with less work for groundskeeping.(I'm tall and hit down on my irons on par 3s so was looking to fix my divots but nothing was there to help.)
I would definitely return and recommend this gem of a course. Special thanks to Dan and Ranny who we were paired up with and shared some local course knowledge as there are many uphill and downhill undulating holes and greens to try and manage the course.
Beautiful Scenes
A difficult front 9 for the average golfer.
Unforgiving greens.
This is a course you have to enjoy and not get frustrated, not that easy to do.
But the scenery make up for the lost balls !!!
Extra fee for Carts?!
When booked and prepaid online the indication was that cart was included.
Upon checking in we were charged $15 each for a power cart despite me informing the proshop that the app indicated carts were included.
This should be cleared up.
Long and tough
Well maintained
Long and therefore can be tiring
A challenge for all but the better golfer
Good value as long as you don't mind playing in the PM
Meh
Marshal and desk staff do not have good enough communication.
