Eight golfers planned three rental SUVs for annual Muskoka trip to Taboo and Rocky Crest. Thirty minutes into packing: eight full golf bags, eight overnight bags, cooler, custom putter hard case, guy who brought his entire collection. Three SUVs became four became “screw it, book the Sprinter.”
Our 14-passenger Mercedes fit everything—including ridiculous cooler—with room left over. Two hours drinking beer arguing about shanked drives instead of coordinating four-vehicle Highway 11 convoy. Cost difference? $300 total. Hassle difference? Incalculable.
Professional Muskoka golf shuttle to premier courses: Taboo (Ron Garl design, par 71, slope 142), Rocky Crest (value play, par 72, challenging), ClubLink properties (Muskoka Bay, Lake Joseph Club), Deerhurst Highlands & Lakeside (two courses, resort integration).
12 full golf bags standing upright—no Tetris. Everyone enjoys 19th hole equally—no designated driver sacrifice. Equipment security—commercial insurance covers $2,000-5,000 clubs. Timing flexibility built into day rates.
Toronto to Taboo $950-$1,100. Weekend packages $2,400 (12 golfers). Everyone plays, everyone drinks, nobody drives.
