Cobble Beach Golf Links Opens For Play

Like many other golf courses in Ontario, Cobble Beach outside of Owen Sound has opened up for play. I had the pleasure of playing Cobble Beach last August. A beautiful golf course with many amazing views of Georgian Bay. This course will test all skill levels of golfers. Well maintained and should be on your list to play.

Cobble Beach is a full service resort and I can't say enough good things about the food there and the spa. Two things you have to take in after a day of golf.

So if you're like me and are planning your golf trips for the year make sure you look into Cobble Beach you won't be disappointed.

Press Release

Exceptional Doug Carrick Layout Features Mesmerizing Water Views

(KEMBLE, Ontario) – Cobble Beach – Georgian Bay’s extraordinary waterfront golf resort community two hours northwest of Toronto – announces its acclaimed Doug Carrick-designed golf course is open for play.

Ranked No. 17 in SCOREGolf’s “Best Public Golf Courses in Canada,” Cobble Beach Golf Links features mesmerizing water views from most every hole along its 7,134-yard routing. Pure-rolling fescue greens with challenging pin locations emphasize strategically-placed approach shots. Closely mown chipping areas, small pot bunkers and hollows surrounding greens provide for the classic bump-and-run opportunities associated with links-style courses.

“Golfers only have to play our course once to want to play it over and over again,” says Rob McLeese, President of Cobble Beach. “Doug Carrick’s genius combines a world-class design with the finest water vistas in Ontario; it’s a true ‘must play’ and ideal for golfers of any and all abilities to thoroughly enjoy.”

The resort features two outstanding “play-and-stay” packages. Starting at $135 per night (per person, double occupancy) the Inn Play and Stay features one round (or a soothing treatment in the resort’s tranquil spa), luxury accommodations in one of the Inn’s individually-decorated suites and “Grab and Go” breakfast for two.

Starting at $144 per night (per person, based on quad occupancy), the Cottage Play and Stay  also features one round of golf on the Doug Carrick-designed layout (or a spa treatment). One night of accommodations is included in a comfortable private cottage as well as a “Grab and Go” breakfast for four.

Each cottage sleeps six to eight and provides an open concept living space and waterfront views of scenic Georgian Bay. Containing all the conveniences of modern living, each unit is outfitted with two bedrooms, two washrooms, living room area with queen size sofa bed, wet bar with under counter fridge, and three flat screen televisions. Select cottages have gas fireplaces.

Enjoyment of the resort’s myriad amenities – first-class practice facilities, Jacuzzi, steam room, pool, 14 kilometers of hiking trails, beach club and more – is also included in both packages.

Another highlight is Cobble Beach’s chef-driven Sweetwater Restaurant & Bar. Conveniently located at the Inn, it features classical cuisine with modern innovation highlighting organic, local and seasonal ingredients for all appetites. Lunch and dinner are enjoyed in the dining room, or fireside lounge with an intimate gastropub ambiance.
