Two day boys Trip in the fall, course was in good conditions, accomodations where good, staff where great, bonus Octoberfest party too at the Social was a blast.
What an amazing place in Barryvale, very close to Calabogie. Golf course, villa, the water and the Social House are all within walking distance. The service was excellent and the amenities were very good. I will return for sure.
Wonderful course....needs better signage regarding fairway starts but lovely to play
The resort is in a remote location, making it a quiet getaway. The golf course is picturesque and well maintained, a definite highlight of the property. The rooms are satisfactory—some upgrades have been made, though a few areas could still use finishing touches. Beyond golf, a bike and walking path are available, and there’s a fire pit for relaxing in the evenings, but there isn’t much else to do in the immediate area. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to golf and unwind, this is a good choice. A short drive away you can rent paddle boards and kayak. There’s also a local brewery and pub to enjoy!
Our group of 14 couples spent a weekend at Calabogie Highlands Resort and Golf Course. The 2-bedroom condos were ideal and the fact that we could literally fall out of bed, have breakfast in our units, walk over to the golf course to get set up for a day of golf and then have drinks and dinner at the adjacent restaurant worked wonderfully.
This review is only about the golf course as we did not stay over. It’s only about a 50-minute drive from Kanata. The layout is interesting, with a few elevated tee boxes that offer great views and some fun shot making opportunities. It’s on the tougher side to walk, with some longer gaps between holes and elevation changes, but still very doable if you're up for a it. It was about $100 for two at weekend prime time, solid value compared to other courses closer to home, definitely worth the trip.
I have used Calabogie Highland golf resort several times over the years for my annual Swine Cup golf tournament. The staff are amazing, the course is challenging and the villas for a stayover are perfect. The units are showing some wear and tear over the years and could use some TLC, but are clean and perfect for a boys weekend away. The price is competitive too.
The golf course has a nice layout, with some very picturesque holes and is a decent challenge . As of mid June (2025), course was still on a little rough condition from winter, however, you could see repair work in progress and the green fees were affordable enough to compensate for the condition. (use a cart as there are plenty of hills). Friendly staff, I will be back.
Overlooking Calabogie Lake, this relaxed golf resort is 24.3 km from Burnstown, 53.2 km from the Pakenham Highlands Golf Club and 108 km from Ottawa.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
