About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6698 yards
Slope 139
Rating 72.8

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.

Great layout, beautiful scenery!!!!

This course is a must play for most average level golfers. Lots of challenging holes with elevation changing on several holes.

Greens where in good shape with lots of challenging pin placements!

The backdrop for most of the course is Rice Lake...awesome scenery. Also makes it a little cooler with the breeze coming off the lake. Which was great when the temp is 86 C.

Great views of Rice Lake

Greens in great shape. Fairways holding on despite the drought. Rained out after 5 holes by a downpour .Cole in the pro shop accommodated us with a rain check .Will play again as we enjoy the challenge and relaxed atmosphere. A demanding but fair couse with lot's of variety.

A great day spoiled

Everything great except no marshal. Group in front allowed 3 holes to open in front and would not allow anyone to play through. On some holes course should cut rough back a little to speed play.

Nice views

Friendly staff and a nice course. Great price on Golfnow. Has some nice views from the tee blocks. Course needs water. We are in an unusual dry spell for end of May first part of June and the course is starting to show it. They were watering the greens the day we played, but would step aside when we approached. Over all conditions were quite good considering mother nature not helping. We have played it many times over the years and will continue to do so.

Beautiful picturesque course

1St time playing this course; was suggested as a nice track by friend; he was right. Has some good elevation changes, first cut is quite long, out of bounds is deep, some challenging greens. Greens are strategically and well protected with water and sand.

I will definitely be playing this track again.

Bellmere late play

Good except for the fact they were blowing out the water lines. Sometimes at thet tee blocks when you were trying to Ted off. At other times you had to bypass the blocks to avoid getting wet

Greens were aerated, and very slow.

This is a very picturesque golf course that may have been enjoyable if the greens had been better. The other complaint we had was the vast difference in difficulty between front a back nines.

I understand that greens have to be aerated, but there was no indication this had been recently done when we booked. Not only were they aerated, but had not been cut for a while making them super slow as well as bumpy. We could not adjust.

tee decks are dead

This course has a good layout and great views. Overall it was in very good shape. There are right on Rice lake but no one is watering the tee decks. Several where practically dead. The other issue was the poor quality sand. Still and nice course overall
