The Golf Club at Lora Bay

Excellent layout in very good shape except for some neglected fairway bunkers. Pace of play was terrible. 5 hour round and no marshal. Beautiful sunny day and didn’t see the cart girl once. Called pro shop twice and told them where we were and still didn’t see her. $185 green fees and no service at all and slow play. Shouldn’t happen. Won’t rush back.

We booked through Golf Now months ahead. The course was in excellent shape except the sand traps. They were mid way through a reconstruction program on the traps. Half were completed and perfect. The other half were void of any maintenance and in terrible shape.

The fairways were in great shape as were the greens. The views of Georgian Bays are stunning from a few holes.

The starter did not tell us the course had been reversed and our GPS did not make sense until we realized the issue and flipped to front/back nines. There was no starter so it was confusing at the first tee. We arrived to no one and were getting ready to tee up when three lady members arrived and told us they were up next. Then two more ladies arrived walking so we just teed it up and went ahead of them because we were in carts.

No marshals. Pace of play was horrible, bunkers in horrible shape and bad greens

Lora Bay has been a go to when traveling in this area. It's in great shape and the price is always competitive. Staff are very friendly.

Overall, our round was extremely enjoyable and the golf course (Tee boxes / fairways / greens) were in excellent condition. Some of the views and vistas were outstanding.

However, I was quite disappointed to find most of the bunkers unplayable. The bunkers that have been worked on were okay, but not great. It wasn't worth the money we paid due to the bunkers.

The golf course is right on Georgian Bay with views of the bay from many holes. The course is challenging and in great shape. They are upgrading many bunkers with excellent drainage and great sand.

this course has gone steadily downhill in terms of service and maintenance every since it was purchased by Great Guld. It seems the owners only interest is in building houses on every possible space along every fairway. Bunkers are terrible with poor sand and lots of weeds. Greens are mediocre and fairways okay.

They have reversed the layour changing the starting hole at what previously was hole # 10.

No putting green. Altogether a course I used to play several times a year until last year. I wont play it agiain.

I was really excited to finally play this "amazing" course, and had promised to take a few friends out with me. The first few holes everything was great. Fairways, immaculate. Greens, perfect. Sand in the bunkers, soft as possible. Then the bunkers, which are absolutely everywhere, became unplayable. Signs marking them off as ground under repair. I'd say at least 50% of the bunkers on the course were like this. Hard packed ground, tons of weeds growing in them, and the lips of all of them were brutal. For a course that advertises themselves as this amazing, top tier course, it was a blight on their reputation. At.the price I paid, I would not even think about playing there again.

Lora bay should let people know the state of the bunkers before the round is booked. It is way too costly given the shape the course is in. Very disappointed.

The course was in very good condition despite the fact they are reconfiguring the nines and it is in transition.

Pace of play was excellent as were the staff.

This is a great layout with very interesting holes and difficult greens.

However, the bunkers are being redone and many were not in good condition. The staff at bag drop were friendly but the food and beverage was closed for a staff event so we couldn’t even sit down for a drink.

I feel the value was “under par” because of the current conditions. I would like to play it again when all maintenance has been completed.
