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.

Great Muskoka Course

Great course, scenic and in top-notch condition. Every fairway lie was perfect. Staff were friendly and very helpful. My only complaint is with Golf Now - while I got a great price with a Hot Deal, when the storm came after hole 13, I could not get a rain check, even though the starter thought I should get one, but Hot Deals do not allow a rain check - not fair :(

Absolutely Breath taking golf!

An absolute delight to play this course - full of water views - course conditions were super. We did a replay and enjoyed 2 rounds in n the same day and then had dinner at the Resturant with amazing view of the golf course and lake.

Beautiful course

The course was in great shape it must really help having an unlimited source of water(Georgian Bay). It is a decently hard course quite narrow with some interesting layouts like the 9th hole. All and all very happy and a great deal to play a course like that for $100

Starter was Unbelievably Rude!

I drove up to play the course from Toronto to get away from the busy city courses and have a laidback game. My dad and I show up to a starter who is so miserable. He won’t let us play just us two. We showed up an hour before. I explained that I play the tips. The starter then said you can’t play from the tips (blues). Made us wait an hour and paired us up with a woman hitting from the senior yellow tee box and her husband hitting from the white tees.

The pace of play was brutally slow, we played from the blue, white, and yellow tees all round. For a 2 hour drive to get tested like this. I feel like I should get a full refund…

I should be able to play wherever I like. The starter got other pros from the shop to watch my first drive (with no warm up). Which landed middle of the fairway 320 yards up. I looked over to the started. Are we good? Yeah maybe realize the level of some advanced golfers.

It just turns out that I’m actually one of the longest in Canada in long drive in competition . The starter can go play from the yellow tees for all I’m concerned - don’t ruin other peoples round.

Tee Boxes

I think they need some trimming between the tee boxes.

But maybe it’s made that way?

Nice course poor service

We booked a tee time for 10:10. The course was empty and we were able to move at our own pace with out feeling rushed and without rushing anybody else. After 9 we decided to go grab some drinks and some sandwiches which for some reason staff had no access to pre-made sandwiches or drinks. We could not purchase a beer to take out onto the course???? While inside we ordered a couple pizzas for when we’re finished that the staff said they’d have ready for us. The back 9 played a lot faster then the front and we were going to finish sooner then expected. So we called the clubhouse to let them know. We then find out that our order was cancelled and they don’t do that??? Now they did make an exception this time after asking the owner. To sim it up the course was beautiful but bring your own food and drinks during the week before may long weekend because their could be a chance you get nothing.
