Granite Ridge Golf Club - Cobalt

AWESOME.........the colours on the Escarpment were just amazing, and the view of the courses was exceptional....would definitely go back.

A somewhat challenging course with a nice variety of hole layouts. Views of the surrounding scenery were very nice with many fall colours visible. Staff was very accommodating.

In an area of overpriced golf this is a great course to enjoy the game at a reasonable price for golfers of all levels. Very scenic in the fall. We'll be back.

It was a great day in October on the golf course! The course conditions were great, the pace of play was excellent and the weather was awesome. The greens were on the hard side so were challenging. Overall a great day on the course.

Course was in good shape, a great course for walkers and beginner/intermediate golfers. Walkers: distance from green to next tee is very short, and the course is very flat. Course is open (few trees, some water) but long enough (6,500 from blue tees) to provide a reasonable challenge for an intermediate golfer.

Very easy check-in and start. Great value for a course of this level and condition. Pace was very fast as it wasn't crowded.
We'll be back soon.

Course is okay. Maybe a little overpriced even with the deals on golf now. Greens are a highlight. The reason why I will not go back has to do with how the course was marshalled the last two times I played. Was playing as a single on a cart. Waited at every hole. Asked to join up with every group I encountered that had room. They all acted like I was ruining there day, so I didn't push the issue. Encountered a foursome that was walking after I had made my way through three previous twosomes after forcing my way through. When I asked if I, a single golfer on a cart could play past their group of four using push carts with no one ahead I was told off. Totally ruined my day. Will never go back. Marshalls were non-existent, and the course is overpriced and filled with hackers who have no etiquette.

We got a great deal to play the Ruby Course. I choose Ruby because I was playing with my wife and it is significantly easier than Cobalt. The front 9 is much easier than the back 9. Hole 1 is a very short par 4 with water in play. Hole 2 is a short dog leg left. The 3rd hole is a par 3 where you need to keep the ball right of the pin. Overall they have made the course easier to play over the years (I have been playing there for 15 years). Most of the ruff has been cut down to speed up tournament play. The views of the escarpment all very good on several holes. the course is always kept in good condition. Food and drinks are on the expensive side compared to the green fees.

This was my first time on the Ruby course. I've played Cobalt a few times. I would definitely come back to play either again. It's a challenging course - forgiving but still a good challenge.

Very short course with a lot of holes running side by side. Greens were slow and bumpy.
Starter should have the power to pair groups into foursomes so that play is better paced. A short course like this should take less than 4 hours to play on any day
Members were cutting in on holes and jumping from hole to hole to avoid public players

5+ hour round. Bottlenecks the whole way through. It's a great course though, well maintained with a beautiful landscape. They need to speed up the pace of play. Would play again.

Three of us senior ladies played this course on a beautiful sunny fall day. it was in great shape. It has challenges but not hard enough to keep us away from playing here again. There are 2 18 hole courses. We played the Ruby. Looking forward to playing the other one. It is very walkable for those that like walking.

My first time to Granite Ridge and from start to finish the day was fabulous! The staff and service was superb, the food was excellent out on the beautiful patio setting, and the course itself was in fantastic condition with gorgeous scenery along the way! A perfect day at an absolutely wonderful golf course!
I will definitely be golfing there again,

I give this course my two thumbs up! Simply because of how well-groomed, maintained, and beautiful it was. We even came across a staff at one of the holes on the back nine who was sweeping up broken tees around the box.

Strong winds posed a significant challenge, especially on the holes that were 300+ out. Although many holes were high in yardage, overall course allowed for great recovery.

This may be a small thing, but I appreciate that every hole provided a map/overview (presented on a stone). I've found that many, even reputable courses sometimes don't have this small luxury. It's very accommodating rather than having to refer to the card at each hole.

the ruby course is a great championship course for the beginer to average golfer. it offers forgiving fairways and you will not have a problem finding any wayward shot. there is plenty of water to get you into trouble so plan your shots. The downside is that the greens were slow and were not rolling true. the balls were often hoping across the greens. the slopes on the greens can make for some tricky reads, but only play half the break you see.
the biggest drawback on this course is that they have no driving range. there is one before the club and that's it. they do have a small practice green that allows short chipping. a hitting net is there for warming up, bu that's it.

One of the most underrated courses in the GTA in my opinion; in excellent shape for the amount of play it sees. Good challenge from the blues 6,500 yards with 12 par 4's. Holes 5 through 7 can wreck your card in a hurry! Slopes and undulations on the greens can lead to some tough hole locations; I got a great deal through GolfNow with a cart but the course can also be walked without too much difficulty.

One of my favorite courses; hope to play a couple of more times before year end.

Great Course for the money!! Staff is amazing led my their Director of Golf Jeff Czuba, easy to deal with and really wants your experience to be top notch. Course was in solid shape, and even though it is a slightly shorter track, the greens make up for it - birdies can be tough to come by!!!

The course was a bit wet due to the heavy rain and the started took care to delay play due to the frost.

All of the course is in really good shape and well maintained.

The pin placement and bunkers tested you when approaching the green.

The rough was just the right length.

There was a few challenges with the raised greens and dog legs that made it good.

The only downside was that the kitchen was closed due to a tournament which limited the menu and the choices were not healthy. We could have been forewarned so we could pack a lunch.

The course was the perfect length and challenge for my intermediate skill level.

I will play again.

Had an early morning tee time and fairways were still rather damp on a cool September morning.

Challenging course for a beginner/intermediate, but allows for recovery on most holes. Played the blues on Cobalt with some regulars and managed to hold my own.

Course is well marked and easy to navigate.

Great value through a hot deal on GolfNow

This was my first time playing at Granite Ridge, but it hopefully won't be my last. It is a very well maintained course (no divots or broken/discarded tees on the tee boxes), fairways are beautiful, etc. I'm a beginner golfer and found this course somewhat challenging, but really fun. I (only) lost 4 balls. I played on a Thursday morning; there was a senior's league that was playing, and it kind of backed us up a bit (at a few holes, there were several groups waiting to hit). I think the Marshals tried to move it along, but they weren't very successful. At the very least, they kept us in the loop about it. Some people weren't happy about the delays, but how upset can you be when you're golfing on a beautiful, weekday morning?
