Hockley Valley Resort

It took us 2 hours to play 5 holes and at that point we walked off the course. Horrible pace of play, likely the worst I've ever dealt with.

Too many people who don't play golf show up to play this course. Save your money and play anywhere else, seriously.

This is the earliest date (May 31st) I have ever played at Hockley Valley. Like much of the eastern part of the country we have had an usually lengthy winter followed by days (sometimes weeks) of excessive amounts of rain. Fortunately, this course is very hilly and really only a couple of holes were affected by standing water / mushy fairways. That said, the rough was very thick and tall. This course (like most) is all about hitting the fairways and position on the greens. Due to various elevation changes club selection is also a key. The course seemed to be in mid-season form with greens rolling "true" but perhaps a little slower than they will be later in the summer. Completed my round in 4 hours flat. Plan to play this course again later in the year (maybe even fall) when my game is more rounded into shape.

We played early Friday morning, course was in good shape staff very friendly, would recommend

Cart very hilly & long distance between quite a few tees & greens, value good , very scenic ,course.

Highly enjoyable and scorable layout with great elevation changes and views.

Lots to do at the resort if thats your thing but the golf was relaxing at a spring pace.

Ive played the course dozens of times and will continue to come back, staff is always very helping with coolers and ice on request. Keep up the great work

we played 5 holes and it started to rain hard and they gave us a rain check pass.

excellent.

First round of the year. Course is in a very good condition for April

Hockley has some of the best scenic views in Ont. A drawback here is no driving range so at 8 am tee off its a bit of a challenge (maybe 3 practice nets?)The first hole tends to be always wet, big beaver tails flying so a little frustrating if you are trying to score well. The rough around perimeter of greens was long so chipping in deep cabbage, not grade A course quality. Greens were fun and undulating nearly a reward when you got there. Tend to play here 2-3 times a year, people always nice, make sure you get a deal course is for mid handicappers or above, will be too frustrating for entry level players.

Course is in great shape. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Always enjoy playing this course, greens & fairways were in excellent shape, some tee blocks were in rough shape. Pace of play was very good as the course wasn't too busy. The views are great.

Only complaint is the lack of water or beverage cart available, and considering it was hot + with the undulating terrain & you don't go by the clubhouse from 9 - 10, it made for a long dehydrated back 9 (would have brought a cooler bag if we had known).

It,s good challenging course for all level golfers !

Great course. Tough course. Play it smart in this course or it can bite you.

Great course. One of my favourites

Have played here 5 or 6 times now so I know the course fairly well - i.e. where and where not to hit it. During my rounds I have learned a couple of things. One - short is better than long on approach shots. Most (if not all) of the "trouble" is beyond the green. Two - keep the ball in the "short grass" (i.e. fairway). The rough here is immediately beside the fairway and today was somewhere around 5-6 inches deep. The ball has a tendency to settle down making it very difficult to determine what kind of shot will result out of it. The fairways are well groomed and for the most part wide enough to hit. Lots of elevation changes - especially on par 3's making club selection critical. This is not your "average" golf course. My favorite time of the year to play is early/mid fall. Colors are brilliant.

Great course!

Nice view and kindness people and

Layout.

Great course. Variety, challenge, great conditions. Sometimes you need your driver, sometimes you need to leave it in the bag. Watch Golf Now for deals and then it’s a great value too!!

The layout of this course is absolutely horrendous. Starting from the first hole there is a massive tree overhanging the front of the back tee box. You cannot aim anywhere. The fairways are tiny and the greens even smaller. You hit good shots that end up in horrible spots. It is a ski hill + make shift golf course. Some ridiculous elevation changes that provide nice views over the valley. Shot well in the 70's

Challenging course with narrow fairways and lots of blond shots because of the rolling hills. Fun to play!
