“Played this course last week and the condition was in my opinion good. Sand traps were in need of some attention and also some of the tee decks we struggled due to lack of size light levels being low and lack of air movement. Greens were in excellent shape and rolled very true. I paid for my wife daughter her boyfriend and myself with a cart for nine holes and total was $395 for all four. Im my opinion overpriced for nine holes.”
“We have a local cottage, we can only speak to Golf and food service (never stayed at the resort), both are very good, Golf is expensive for only 9 holes, but very well maintained. The food and service are also very good. We have had a number of occasions of large groups (12 or more), and the food and service has been excellent. Keep up the good work.”
“One of the best 9 hole courses I have ever played. Fairways and greens were in brilliant condition. Several challenging holes, not long but course management required to score well. Clubhouse had a great vibe and the staff were very accommodating. All in all a great experience in Muskoka!”
“The golf course is a really good test for all golfers or just a fun place to play 9 holes. Extremely well kept and the staff is outstanding. After a round the restaurant has a very good selection and an option to sit inside or out. The only concern I have is that the cost is a bit higher than I would expect it to be. Especially for the owners /renters that reside just across the road. Hope to get in a few more rounds before the snow flys.”
“Beautiful vacation spot. Cottages are big, clean and have beautiful views. Quiet location, So close to the beach. 5 star +++++ Would definitely recommend going there. Food is also very good. Large portions, quick service and good food. I would book your stay as soon as possible to secure your cottage and vacation spot. Love it there!”
“From the moment we came to the golf course it was one great experience after the other from the staff. They were all welcoming, happy, helpful and knowledgeable! The golf course was a great and challenging play and kept up immaculately. The clubhouse washrooms and dining area was spotless and clean! Will be back! Special shoutout to the young man at the start who helped us load up and gave us some great pointers! Hope Micheal is there next time to welcome us! Cheers”
“We spent a family long weekend at Diamond in the Ruff. We loved the cottage, lots of room for everyone and the great room was big enough for everyone to gather together. The outdoor areas (the lawns, the beach, the trails, the golf course) are all wonderful. We really enjoyed our time here and recommend Diamond to those looking for a great family vacation sport!!”
