The Meadow Nest Course is one of two 18-hole courses at Hawk Ridge Golf & Country Club. The club also offer an executive, nine-hole course. Meadow Nest is the longer and tighter of the two courses. Silver Creek meanders through 10 of the 18 holes. The golf course features rolling, bent grass fairways an abundance of water hazards throughout. The back nine is covered in mature trees and numerous bunkers, making accuracy a priority in scoring well. Two notable holes on the course are the 10th and 12th, which share a unique double green. The golf course is challenging, but four tee decks allow golfers to adjust the game to their abilities.

Great day

First time playing course ( timber ridge )as we moved to the area 3 weeks ago. All staff were great and helpful. Course was busy but pace of play was fine to enjoy the day. Pretty wide open and forgiving and for the most part greens and fairways were in great shape and rolled true. Good atmosphere all around. Can’t wait to play meadow nest

Meadows Nest

First nine played in 90 minutes which was excellent However back nine was horrible. On some holes there were

4-5 groups. Monitoring and course marshals were badly needed. Groups were spending much too much time hunting for lost balls in woods. This is OK when there is no one behind you but not when you are constantly holding up the groups behind you. Many people have no clue. They hit tee shots of 150-170 yrds and then are over 200 yrds

from green and are not hitting. A few greens were in need of repair.

Hawk Ridge Timber Ridge course

Very enjoyable course with good mix of holes. Fair off the tees with reasonable room for error. Good condition overall. A few rough spots on some of the greens, but not an issue. Great staff service. I did not try the food or beverage service. 5, 7 & 10 are the more challenging holes . I played the blue tees . Not a long course, but the blues still presented a decent challenge . Can’t beat it for value.

Oasis in Orillia

Wow! We have lived close by for quite a few years. However thiese courses were a 45 minute drive but finally decided to experience Hawk Ridge. It did not disappoint! We played Timber Ridge and it was challenging but fair. Tee placements were great depending on your skill. Very nice layout and course was in outstanding condition despite the dry summer. Course was busy but pace was good. Very attentive staff. Would definitely play here again.

Two different nines

Good course and good value for the money. Front 9 was very wide open and fairways great. Second 9 was a lot tighter and bit more challenging especially if you sprayed the ball.

Greens had a lot of bad spots on them, un-playable. Played in afternoon and had mos tof course to ourselves. Played a 3 hour round.

Nice course but probably not worth the drive

We are located near Markham hence we usually play courses in the GTA/Markham area. We decided to try something new and a friend recommended the hawkridge courses in orillia. The drive was about 1.5hr from Markham, traffic was decent at 6am in the morning.

The course itself was in good shape overall, some of the greens have a lot of brown spots, and some were under repair. We played the meadow nest course in the morning and timber ridge right after.

First 9 holes of meadow nest was quite open, and back nine is more tight and requires more hole management.

The timber ridge course was (in my opinion) a bit easier overall, but the layout was still fairly challenging.

It’s a nice course if you are in the area, staff there are nice and helpful, and overall I think it’s a nice course. However, the drive is a bit far for me! But I’ll still come back maybe once a year.

TOO BAD

This course appears to have some issues. Overall it appears at one time it was good but greens were being burnt out with some almost all gone and orange in color. Weather has not be that hot so will be surprised if they have any grass left when it does get hot. Traps were very inconsistent. Some had lots of sand and some were hardpan. Sad to see it going down hill

Timber Ridge

We played Timber Ridge at Hawk Ridge for the first time and was excited to play it as I've played Meadow Ridge and was impressed. The course was in good shape but the greens were just punched and we were not told about that when checking in. We were paired up with another 2some which is fine but on the second tee there was a backup with w other groups on the tee. We waited on pretty much every shot. We then found out from the cart girl that she was out of everything as there was a small tournament ahead of us. So we wait all day on every shot but not once did we see a Marshall. When we got to the turn the snack bar was out of buns so we couldn't even get a sausage. The 2some we were playimg with quit after 14 holes and a 2some ahead of us quit after 9 holes because of pace of play

Excellent Staff and Great Value

The staff were excellent. I lost my phone at some point in the day and when I went back the next day they had it for me right at the front desk which was a huge relief.

The fairways were excellent and the rough was also in great shape as it was not very deep but still leaves you worse off than the fairway. The greens (most if not all) did unfortunately have some brown spots, some holes worse than others and most holes was just a couple small spots.

It's hard to better than this course for the money and I would highly recommend.
