Beautiful family oriented place to visit…read more Great place here for dates, kids birthday party, baseball teams to practice their swings(soft and fastball), golfers. Lots of free parking, large space that is well marked, organised and staffed. All events are outside, so dress accordingly to the weather. Inside the main house is the washrooms and food. They serve big scoops of Kawartha Diary with almost all the flavours made. For mini put, there are two courses to try; Shipwreck or the logging theme. Shipwreck is slightly more challenging. Somehow my kids got the par for the course which is labelled on a sign at each hole. They now think they're big shots and want to go pro, meanwhile my ball enjoyed the water features in the Shipwreck course. The batting cages are self explanatory. Sign at each cage tells you what to expect from ball type to speed level. One token gets 15 pitches, just get the 5 special pricing, it doesn't expire. Bring your own helmet and bat as the ones supplied may not be the greatest. This area is either empty or packed with teams going there to meet up and waiting for a certain pitch. It would be better if they could adjust cages depending on needs of the group. Otherwise the wait can be long.

This is the first time I came here for a banquet. In previous years, the banquet was held at…read moreanother golf course. The venue was very beautiful with manicured lawns, a castle-like building, and a sufficiently large banquet hall for guests and a live band. The hors d'eouvres included spring rolls, phyllo triangles filled with cheese, and coconut shrimp. Since we were here on Star Wars day (May 4th), there were even green Yoda drinks with eyes and lime slices for ears. They definitely played up this theme all day and it was a really nice touch. What was noticeable throughout the evening was how good the food was. Everyone at the table said it was better than previous years at a different golf course. The antipasto, which is usually my least favorite dish, was really good. The beef entree was amazing. It was cooked perfectly medium on the inside with the same color pink throughout. The staff were courteous and accommodating. One person at our table asked for the personal caesar salad without bacon since the shared salad had bacon and we pretty much received another shared salad. Towards the end of the evening, the staff were clearing off tables while the banquet was winding down. But they were a little too quick to clear the tables that they took away someone's photo booth photos before those people came back to the table to claim their photos. Overall it was a really nice evening was excellent food at a stellar venue.

The view was fabulous, our server, Avery, was super - friendly and very conscientious of our choices to be "slightly modified". The calamari was great, one of the rare times we have had it that it was NOT in the least bit "rubbery". The steak was done perfectly to our order. As we were dining, the Chef, Ian, came out to greet us and make certain that everything was to our liking. We also asked for a copy of their "regular" menu to peruse it for the future, and were delighted with what they offer. I would highly recommend the restaurant at Tangle Creek Gold & Country Club to anyone!

You can also bring your own food but there is a charge per person. The great - The customer service is top notch. I bombarded them with questions over email, they didn't leave a single one unanswered, they were quick to respond and very accommodating. The patience in answering multiple emails, questions and follow up questions is how I knew my experience here would be good. The good - The alcoholic drink options were okay, the variety wasn't large but the cocktails and mocktails were good. Food was good too. The karaoke was a bit confusing to navigate at first but we got the hang of it. There's something for everyone here and coming in a large group definitely made it worth it.

Hawk Ridge holds the distinction of being the nicest golf course in Orillia. As a result of being a…read morebig fish in a microscopic pond, the staff are generally pretty high on their horses and seem to think that they work at Glen Abbey. The course is 45 holes, which might make you wonder whether Orillia's population could possibly support that many holes. The answer appears to be that it can't, as it's almost always dead. You can get a tee time in the middle of summer at 10 am on a Saturday by calling the day before if you are so inclined. They have an 18 hole course called "Meadow-Nest", another 18 called "Timber-Ridge" and a par 3 called "Hawk's Island". The Timber-Ridge is terrible. The Timber portion could be nice but it is always soaking wet so the grass doesn't grow properly and the Ridge aspect is just really boring. Everyone knows that Timber-Ridge sucks so they are constantly offering deals like $45 for 18 and a cart, while Meadow-Nest would cost more like $80 for the same thing. The par 3, like any par 3, is a waste of your time. The Meadow-Nest is really quite nice. The Meadow portion is pretty long and fairly open, while the Nest is more treed and shorter. The entire course has a creek running back and forth that makes it more difficult than it would be otherwise. The driving range is also really good. It has real grass to hit from, instead of mats, and it is deep and wide so there is no need for netting or anything. They also serve good food and have a lot of options with a gazeebo at the turn, a small restaurant that includes a nice patio and a large space that usually hosts weddings and things of that nature.

The Nest Golf Club is a gorgeous golf course and part of the Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil…read more It's located on the west side of Lake Simcoe, east of Barrie. The fantastic golf course is run by former colleagues of mine and we had arranged an outing for a few groups. The course is immaculately groomed, with generous undulating fairways. The rough is fairly forgiving but if your ball goes into the dense brush forget about looking for it. It's very dense! Trees aren't much of a problem on this course, except for the finishing holes. Water comes into play on only two holes. Kudos to the staff for keeping the course in such great condition. The driving range is a modest setup, with several flags as targets. The distances are shown on a sign in the tee area. There is also a club washer. Golf carts are electric so they're quiet, and especially nice on this really hot day. They even have a cooler attached to keep you beverages cool. And USB ports to keep your devices charged! There was a group of ladies playing a mini tournament ahead of us. They were walking the course. Good for them! Several of us stuck around for a bite and some drinks on their large patio overlooking the 10th hole. The food was decent but the wait time was very long and the execution could have been much better. Proper French fries would have been preferred over the potato chips or home fries. One carrot stick with my wings? Really??? This needs to be improved. Some of our group had reservations at the resort. Despite the hot weather, everybody enjoyed the day and loved the golf course. I'm sure we'll be back!

Food here or any food here comes from the same kitchen and are no good.
