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.

Great little golf course out in Jackson's Point. This place has been here for decades (I think…read moremaybe even around a century), and is a nice 9 hole course for those of us who don't take our golf game too seriously. It's not an executive 9 hole, but it isn't a really long course either (about 2500 yards from the back tees). There's very little water and sand, but lots of trees around the outside of the course, while the inside is pretty wide open. They don't take tee times here, you just park, pay, and play. Sometimes you wait, sometimes you don't. I've never seen it crazy busy though. I've seen a couple of different people working here over the years, but I believe it's still a family run business. Everyone that mans the desk seems to be friendly and accommodating. Price is great. $17 for 9 holes, and an extra $6 if you want to go around again. The greens were in pretty rough shape this time around, but I think the weather this summer has wreaked havoc on many golf greens. I will definitely be back here, and it will remain my go to course for those days when I don't want to be too formal with my game

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!

Well maintained and pirate themed with nice music lighting and ambiance. 18 holes some of which can be quite challenging even for adults. The nice water features adds to the charm.

Fun place to spend time with friends with photo opportunities throughout the venue. The last hole you can get a chance to win a free game! Excellent highly recommend.

The areas of the golf course I did see were well kept with garbage cans empty and well maintained. There is ample parking space a beautiful club house. This golf course boasts 27 holes which I had not seen before. We stayed for dinner with this event and it was so amazing to see the hospitality team at work. The clubhouse space is beautiful and would be perfect for any type of function including weddings. Dinner was served to us in stations rather than buffet. Players got to eat at a pig roast station, taco and nacho station, macaroni and cheese station, Antipesto station and finally, dessert. It was a really smart concept as it meant nobody had to wait in line and everyone got to eat what they wanted. Brilliant. Based on my experience, I would like to return to play golf.

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!

It's down a bit of a hill from the road, and you'll see a parking lot on the right which is where you park. While you can continue to drive down to the beach, there is no parking and you would be blocking emergency vehicles in the event of a problem. The bathrooms are pretty good here and there were lots of people on that warm and windy day in August. This is a great spot to keep in mind when in Barrie as it's close to downtown.
