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.

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.

THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED!

Great course, with beautiful views!

Challenging holes which will test every club in your bag!

These holes are made even more challenging with some of the hardest greens to read and putt on! Especially with all the ball marks, some of you lazy people don’t want to fix!

Bring a few extra balls, and maybe put away those Pro V1s.

Everything about this course is great except one thing

THEY BOOK WAY TO MANY TEE TIMES!!!!

Seven minute gaps are not long enough and If 2 bad groups of four people go out back to back... 5 hours or more of poorly paced golfing awaits you!

Waiting at every tee block for 5-10 minutes!

It’s been like this every time I’ve played this course which has prompted me to write this review!

Anyways

Have a safe summer... CHIRP CHIRP

Need to address pace of play

On a very hot and windy day, the course played tough. Not surprising that the condition of the course has suffered in the recent drought. If you are used to playing 5h rounds of golf then you likely would not have been bothered by the pace of play today. However, a marshal was needed to encourage groups to keep up with the group in front of them. Also, single players and doubles should be asked to join to speed up play. There was a lot of standing around waiting.

Very challenging picturesque course.

Course very long and some Tee to fairways Very long also. Not a course well suited to beginners or those with big handicaps. Course in excellent condition. Very picturesque with stunning views. Did not score well re masks and social distancing around club house and outside patio areas.

Great course but terrible pace of play

The course was in good shape but the pace of play was terrible. We have golfed this course for many years and typically the course is relatively empty late in the day and therefore a decent foursome can complete their round in under four hours. But, this year is different. The course is most definitely catering to their cottage owners and renters by providing free golf. This clogs up the course at all times with a bunch of non golfers having fun. And that is great for them, but, not so great if you are trying to get in a quick round to end the weekend. On we go. There are many other options in the area.

Good Value

Course is priced right. The views of the lake are really nice. The only bad part of the day was a 12 I put up on hole 10.
