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.

Waste of time
Even for the 50$ green fee...this course it not worth it. Service was bad. No food available. The course has some nice views but that's it. The greens are so bad. Leave the fairway just slightly and your ball is gone. No shade and no beverage cart on a Saturday in 30 degree heat. Just not fun.
Slow and Sticky
Course was extremely busy.....over 105f and very little breeze Some of the greens were dead or dying in spots But for $28 with cart it was still a good day
Slow Go!!
It's a beautiful course, but we pulled up to the first tee 5 minutes before our tee off time and there were 4 groups waiting. No starter at all. We teed off 25 minutes late. Had to wait at every shot thru the whole 18. We never saw a Marshall anywhere. Garbage pails were overflowing at each hole. Saw the drink cart on the 3rd hole and never saw her again ... despite 30 degree temp. We heard after 9 holes that the drink cart girl went home.
Course was good, tough pin placements
Good overall round, a little slower for a late Sunday tee time.
Some tough pin placements today.
Great evening of golf
Course was in good condition, a bit of issues on some greens, but otherwise very nice.
Pace was good in the evening as not many people had golfed in the afternoon.
This course was a lot better a few years ago. They keep adding more trailers all around the course, it really detracts from what was once a great view while playing. The first hole, they changed the par on, and moved the tee boxes up, probably to build more trailers.
On the other hand it is a challenging course, and if you don’t hit the fairway, good luck finding your ball in the fescue.
Great Value and Beautiful Views
This course overlooks Rice Lake which is visible from many of the holes. I appreciate the price point of this course and the elevation changes and views are breathtaking. I nice club house would be well suited here. I would recommend this course to anyone travelling in the area.
Great day
Great day on this very well kept course.
Beautiful views on a summer afternoon.
GREAT SCENERY AND CONDITIONS
Course in great shape .Greens challenging and fast. Nice variety of holes. Fairways good . Only issue is the cart paths. Prepare for a bumby ride and muddy .No clubhouse and limited menu but a cart girl still operating .Pace of play slow especially on the front nine .Golfers looking for lost balls in the fescue rough;makes for a wait on most tees. Back nine not as much of an issue.Carts have a GPS system which is great. Staff very helpful especially the starter and friendly cart girl. A worthwhile course to play for all levels from a variety of tee blocs. Great views of Rice Lake. A MUST VISIT DURING THE FALLC OLOURS. Be prepared for no bathrooms on the back nine.
Great Day
Bellemere Winds is a great track perched above Rice Lake. Course was in great shape and the view is spectacular
Challenging
This îs a challenging course that could be improved with shorter roughs so we can find our balls, less hazards in the line of play, and more sand in the bunkers. It would also be great if they added 5 more minutes between their tee times so that I wouldn't have to wait at every single hole to tee off ... it's hard to get into a rhythm with all the constant delays. And how about water stations??
Resort style course.
I have played this course many times ( close to the cottage) and when the course was is in earliest stages. Hole 1 use to be par 5 490..good opening hole, now a short par 4 to make room for the new cottages on the left of hole1. Greens are superb.... fairways pristine... and 1st cut rough thick.. which makes up for only 3 par 5s on the course. The only thing that needs to be amended is the score card yardage and gps which is a nice add on to the carts is they need to match.. some holes off the tee block were off by like 25 to 35 yards. Course was busy for a early Thursday morning round and seemed steady through the day.
Course has come a long way. Keep it up!!!
Horrible!!!
When we got there, there was about 16 people at least waiting for carts, they didn’t have enough- they were waaaay overbooked. Anything to get money through the door I guess. people were teeing off 45 minutes late, when we finally got a cart and got to the first tee (45min after tee time ) , we were behind a group of 8, they were taking 4-5 practice shots , walking to each persons ball and hitting, they were taking forever we were waiting 10-15 minutes a hole. We didn’t even finish the ninth hole and we had been there over 3 hours. We paid for 18 and only got to play 8. This is the most poorly run golf course I have ever been to. None of the staff knew what was going on. Never golfing there again. We didn’t even golf the 9 holes with the view.
