Carved from the scenic woodlands along the eastern shores of Georgian Bay, Oak Bay Golf & Country Club incorporates rocky outcroppings and natural water features into its challenging championship design. The eastern coast of the bay is one of the largest freshwater archipelagos in the world and is home to diverse flora and hundreds of varieties of birds and fish. Both the fairways and greens are sloped and well manicured. In addition to the many natural challenges, which include trees and ponds, there are numerous strategically placed traps to watch out for. Oak Bay is located less than two hours north of Toronto but its beautiful setting makes it feel much further.

Just a couple of things to note. Firstly, it rained a fair bit the day before so some areas on the course were soft. Secondly, where are the ball washers? None at the tee blocks and none on the cart.

We all love The course, it is very nice but very challenging with long hazard areas from tee box, you need to drive far in order to get to fairway. Tee boxes are in very good conditions, beautiful turf, but rough in most areas is pretty thick. Staffs are supportive, they are doing thier jobs very responsibly and caring , but it would be nicer if there were like less strictness, more flexiblity.:). We will definitely come back again. Thanks

Well kept. Tough but true.

Oak Bay is a premier golf course. The staff were great and were able to start off the back 9 earlier than expected which was really appreciated as it enabled to be the heat. Two bottles of ice cold water to top it off. The greens are tough but roll true. Beware poison ivy....bring a few extra balls.

Challenging course

Beautiful golf course. Extremely challenging so expect to lose more balls than average. Furthermore, the brush on the each side of the super narrow rough is concentrated with poison ivy so even when your ball goes in by a few inches it’s not worth the risk to try and find it, and even if you do find it there’s a super slim chance it is playable.

What a beautiful course.

I love this course. Wonderful fairways, true greens. It's not an easy course, and there is lots of poison ivy so keep them strait. The signature hole is spectacular. The golf pro (Jason) is a top notch guy. You are gonna love it.

Love this course. Great layout. Fun from the forward tees. Tough from the white tees. Have to carry thick vegetation off these tees. So we'll manicured. Can't wait to play it again.

Amazing course!

This is my favorite course by far, I only get a tee time if its a hot deal. The $100 for a round with a cart is a bit steep for me but other then that I recommend this course to anyone!

No ball washers

I cannot believe a nice course with no ball washers. Not on a cart or any hole. One of the nicest par 3s you will ever play.

Good .......but can be better

Very nice course. Some traps a little thin. Missing ball washers. None on cart as well. Garbage cans few and far between. Signage to next hole can be better. One of the best par 3s you will ever play.
