Most of the greens had patches of no grass. The 18th green was the worst. It seems like the winter grass did not grow everywhere

Most of the greens have numerous problem areas. We play this course about 2 times per year, and the current conditions as by far the worst we have seen

Dundarave and Brudenell River courses are at the same location. They are next to a Provincial Park on the river. The Dundarave couse was a very good layout and the conditions were excellent. The greens were great. There were a few holes with river views. Most holes were in the forest with some beautiful lakes. It is a great value if you play after 2 pm. Be sure to have some insect repellent if you play late.

The views are great and the course other than the greens were in very good condition. Greens are elevated and rockhard so it’s very difficult to land a ball on the green and keep it on. So then your chip shot requires a very soft touch to keep it on the green. This was very aggrevating to all of us.
Hole 17 is a joke, a short par 3 with the green high above the tee box. All you can see is the flag. All of us hit shots that we thought would be on or near the green, but three balls could not be found.

Small course in a small area, but very good layout (Donald Ross design). Three short par 5s and five par 3s for an overall par 70. No driving range - a net and a worn out mat. The practice green was small and did not represent the greens on the course. On many holes, you cannot tell what is in front of you. There is no help: no course layout on the scorecard, or signs anywhere on the course. You have to buy a yardage book for $15 to understand the layout. Not worth paying full price; use Golf Now!

This course is very hilly, with many narrow fairways surrounded by forest. It used to be a "best courses you can play" many years ago, but it is not maintained that way. The greens were in good shape, but there were too many poor or dirt areas in the fairways. Great value as the price is reasonable.

They had trouble with the greens this summer but they were recovering, we were told. However the speed of the greens varied greatly, and there was no way to know it until you chipped on or putted way long or very short. They put the hole in a couple of the bad areas. The rest of the course was in very good condition.
