The course has always been in great shape. It's a challenging course and if you like beautiful scenery it has lots of that. The only thing better than the course is the staff; friendly and helpful.
2. Shade's Mills
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
Shade's Mills has been called the best-kept secret in Cambridge. Favourite activities in this day-use area include swimming, sport fishing and canoeing. The conservation area has 12 km of hiking trails through a mature hardwood forest that winds along Mill Creek. There is good fishing for northern pike, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass in the 32-hectare (80 acre) reservoir behind Shade's Mills dam. It is open for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing during the winter.

We didn't have high expectations of this park since it is located very close to the city; however, we were very impressed with the great hiking trails, the beautiful trees, and the delightful beach. We plan to return in the autumn with our canoe and in the winter with our snowshoes.

The Old German Woolen Mill ruin near Glen Morris along the Cambridge to Paris rail trail is an unexpected encounter with history. It’s cut stone walls and raceway arches and overall imposing height are testimony to the skills of the stone masons who built it. Access is now signed as no trespassing, although it can be viewed from the rail trail or off a roadway in front of the ruins.

Love this trail! Its easy terrain and full of natural beauty and wildlife. It takes you right beside the Grand River and end at Riverside Park. A portion of the trail also has a separate path for bikers as well. I recommend going in the evening if interested in seeing lots of wildlife, we've have the best luck at that time. We have seen water fowl, tortoises, deer and even beavers recently!

Fantastic course!! Played it for the first time this year and it was in great shape. Its long and challenging, lots of room to hit the long ball and great holes that will require accurate irons. The staff is super nice. The only funny part is that the range runs parallel to 10th hole so heads up as there are a lot of stray range balls on the right of the fairway. This course is now in my top 10 for sure.

I won’t be able to say enough about Whistle Bear. My daughter Lauren was married there on June 30th and everything from the initial meeting to picking up our extras a couple days after the wedding was truly EXCEPTIONAL!!! The chapel, the venue, the food and the staff were just simply nothing short of SPECTACULAR!!! Nikki, Melinda and Katie went over and above our expectations and executed the planning and the day itself with professionalism and expertise like we have never witnessed before. The bar tenders and servers were so polite, on the ball and ready in an instant to meet our requests and do whatever was needed so everything would be perfect. Our guests of over 220 people raved about the venue and were blown away with the food, both dinner and dessert were scrumptiously delicious (prime rib, stuffed chicken). All day it was the same “WOW, how did you find this place, so beautiful”. As the day was moving on and our amazement growing, they blew us completely away with an outstanding fireworks display. Now we knew these were coming as it was the Canada Day weekend but we did not expect the show to be so long and so damn good!!! Because of the venue and more importantly the staff this day was in my opinion was PERFECT!
