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.

We did not finish two of the three rounds we played because of the pace of play. They are part of cottage resort and give free rounds to buyers. we got behind people who should not be learning on this type of course and have no golf etiquette. with everyone wanting their own carts, even when they have been standing in a group waiting for carts, backed up later tee times. Very frustrating Its a nice course, and our go to when we are in the area, but slow play needs to be addressed.

Always a challenge

Too many people in too tight bookings

One day, maybe, they'll have good amenities; until then, the course and the view remain the draws

First Time Playing

My first time here and I was impressed with the overall layout of the course. The fairways are quite narrow on the front 9 with some pretty thick weeds along it’s borders, so for the driver who slices you can pretty well kiss those balls goodbye. The roughs need attention as parts have grown quite large which disrupts the views and Playability of the course. The back 9 is very well maintained with some challenging, yet fun holes to play with friends. The carts are new with GPS tracking to ensure you stay on the proper path but i found it stalls even when on the cart path which definitely slows play. The greens on the par 3s are filled with divots , which leads me to believe rules are loosely enforced. Overall good course for the price !

Slow play

It's a resort course and a good price. Three times played this summer. Pace of place is bad. Too many players who play a few times a summer. No course etiquette. Almost 5 hours!

Need to Speed Up Play!

Great course but terrible pace of play especially on the front nine made the round much less enjoyable. Perhaps need to reduce number of tee times and space them out further. Would love to play the course again if this can be rectified.
