Always a safe bet

3rd time playing Regatta Bay and for the courses in the area this is one of our favourites. Greens are kept a bit longer than other places so the roll is slower so get to the practice area ahead of time and get used to it. For dormant season the greens are in good shape unlike other nearby courses. Would play again

Bad Green Speed

Love this course but this is the worst green speed I have experienced on such a great layout. Probably around 4 on the stimp meter. Really disappointing.

Needs a marshal on the course.

We like to get there early and have lunch in the bar then go practice and take off. Usually this works well for us. Everything was going great untill the back nine. On the back nine we had three groups in front of us quit because of slow play ahead of them. We found out when we got to 16 and we saw a fivesome in front of us with music blasting. It took us over an hour to finish. They were all over the course and playing herd golf. Really could have used a marshal. Left us with a sour taste.

People from bag drop/cart area to front desk in club house, to course starter we’re all very accommodating and friendly.

Love Regatta Bay however it would be nice if the course let us know at booking that the greens were being sanded.

Best Course in the Area

Beautiful course, in excellent condition, staffed by very friendly people. The course was quite busy, but we still finished in 4 hours. The number of different tees allows almost every level of golfer to have an appropriate challenge.

This course has no boring holes

The course is in amazing shape and every hole has challenges. There is plenty of birdie holes with good shots and big greens. The greens being big still play small with all the different subtle ridges. This is one of my top courses to play in the area!! There is also some big number holes if you ain’t careful it is a must play when in the area. Staff is top notch.

Regatta Bay

Fairways are excellent. Greens are pretty good following a hard freeze and snow. The grounds keeping team has done an excellent job. I enjoyed every minute in this course and I will be back.

Haven’t played this course in several years

Thanks to GolfNow I was able to get a very good rate to play this course. I hadn’t play this course because of the standard rate. I’ll be watching for another special rate offer in the future. Excellent course!
