Pretty reasonable Golf course that lets you play an 18 hole golf round for CAD40.00. All patrons…read moreare required to check-in at the pro shop, very aptly named the 19th hole. We were a group of three who also rented a golf set for CAD20.00. Before we teed off, we hit a few warmup shots at the range which is very appropriately located within a few metres from the pro shop. There's ample parking for you to park your vehicle, very close to the pro-shop. Tha pro shop and the parking are what sit between the first 9 holes and the remaining 9 holes. The course offers a good mix of Par 5 & Par 3 holes, with quite a few water hazards but not as many bunkers. Or maybe I was having a good day. There are locations brandishing the QR code, which I believe, is for refereshments. We didn't utilise the QR codes but we did visit the bar or the 19th hole as it's called after completing the first 9 holes to quench our thirst. Given it was one of those colder autumn days, I drank the Hot Chocolate, which was way too watery for my liking. The management makes it pretty clear that they do not support the concept of BYOB but that's understandable. All in all we enjoyed our round!

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 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!

Pretty amazing 18 hole golf course in the Barrie/Innisfil region. The green fees is pretty…read morereasonable inclusive of the cart. If you don't own a golf kit, fret not, you could rent one for about C$10.00. You could start your rounds by taking a few swings at the range which is located at Huronia & Mapleview though it's recommended to be at the course 20 mins before your scheduled tee-off time. The first 9 holes mostly contain the 3 par holes with exception of couple of par 4 holes. I've to admit I dont have a lot of experience with golfing in Canada or the USA but I found the experience very pleasant. Even though the temperatures soared to about 27°C, we could enjoy a couple of beers, there's a refreshments cart that keeps circling around the course, to quench our thirst and replenish our energy levels before completing our round. Highly recommend to all golfers. Happy Golfing!!!

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!

I liked the ones through the marshes and areas with views of the water. Overall found the trails to be pretty easy to walk though, lots of boardwalks and the forest path is clear. Paths are also wide at most areas which is very nice. Dropped by on October 11, spotted fall colour leaves here and there. Parking is $4 for the day, both online and pay meter at the front of the park available. Lots of parking areas located throughout the park, with the ones in the centre of the park within easy walking distance to each other. Nice area to walk for all ages! A mix of longer and shorter trails suitable for everyone. Lots of birds which were lovely.

I'm playing in a golf tournament next weekend and haven't touched the clubs in about a year…read more Luckily there's a driving range 2 mins from my in-laws place. This driving range is literally right next to the Barrie "airport" (more of an air strip but in any case). There are about 20 grass tees and about a dozen carpet tees off to the left. The place is well maintained and not too busy, even on a beautiful 25 degree sunny day on the May 2-4 weekend. The prices are reasonable (about $11 for a large bucket or $15 for a jumbo ~150 balls). There is a sand trap and a green with 4 holes by the carpet tees to practice your short game. There is also a mini golf but it's in a ditch, the carpet is in pretty bad shape and it looks like it hasn't been used in a few years. All in all, this is a very convenient and affordable driving range if you're living or visiting the north end of Barrie.
