Pretty decent

For how many people were out there they should have lower rates to fill the course.
Also, since it is a far drive and they have accommodation there I would love to see the equivalent of the girls weekend package but geared at a buddies golf package. You know, something like two rooms and two rounds over one night with a bottle of scotch and cigars or something cool like that all in price.
Other than that it's a fun track, will be back sometime soon.

this course has great potential but right now lacks the attention necessary to continue its ratings

The course itself has "good bones". The problem is its management. The staff, for the most part is not trained properly to give an overall golf experience. We arrived at the course early and were told that the resort restaurant was not open from 10:30 to 11:30 so we had to have sandwiches from the food cart. The sandwiches were at least a day old and maybe 2 days old. (this is inexcusible). The fairways were properly cut but not watered enough and the tee boxes looked as if they haven't been serviced since last year. The greens were running extremely slow and were very patchy. Overall my group was very disappointed in the lack of attention of this "Resort Course". I will not be going back to this course.

Beginning of the Season

I have had several people talk about this course. I'm sure when everything grows in it is quite beautiful. Smaller greens and some narrow spots create some interesting challenges. No bunker play.

For the price It didn't leave me with a that big of an impression.

Had a good challenging round

Even this late in the season, an excellent track to play on. It was cold and miserable but the had a good time on the course. Will certainly play this course again when the weather is better.

This course is my favorite fall season golf course. The fall colours are outstanding.

This is a must play for anyone that needs to test their abilities.
I prefer the tips as it offers tee blocks at the highest elevation in the windest of conditions, it truely tests your golfing skills as you will use all the clubs in your bag without hitting a sand shot.
The hole is never over until the putt has been sunk. A must play.

A spectacular place to play in the fall.

It is always fun to play Hockley Valley. The course calls for a wide variety of golf shots. Conditions were average, pace of play a little slow. Well received at bag drop and pro shop. Had a great day.

Well kept

The course was in very good condition for this time of year. The clubhouse staff and starter were very friendly and helpful. The only down side was the time it took to get round! There were too many playing and it took approx 10 minutes wait on each hole!! I would recommend playing this course but on a day when the weather is not as good so can get a full 18 holes in! We teed off at 1.10 and didn't get to play the full 18. That said I would play this course again

If its windy stay home

This course has very narrow sometimes pitched landing areas and very narrow greens.In windy conditons its very tough to play Theres blind shots to flags you cant see from fairways.Club selection is dificult due to the extreme elevation differences on most of the par 3s. Since it was very windy it was a frustrating day and not enjoyable

Elevation Changes and Scenery

Play there annually for a friendly match as it's equidistant from Port Credit and Barrie. Have been playing in late September so fall colours are always a nice visual. Only a small amount of water hazards, otherwise it's the elevation changes and dog legs that make this memorable.

Small issue with the Golf Now bookings, but the pro shop handled it like... pros.

Will definitely be back.

Great course

It was a challenge course and had very nice view. Especially staffs were very friendly and organized. There were a few slow players in front our team and we expected we couldn't finish on time. A marshal came to them and talked... After that, it was a highway and everybody was happy with it. We really appreciated it. I believe this is the reason why people love this course. I don't know his name but I'd like to say, Thank you!!!!!!

Beautiful as usual and still very challenging. Greens were extremely difficult to put. Some greens and fairways need attention from the greens keeper.
