A fun and challenging course to play

We started on time and finished in four and a quarter hours. The fairways were hard and similar in playing conditions to other courses in the area. Greens were in good condition but there were too many unrepaired ball marks.

Friendly staff greeted us before and during our round. The Starter offered us a free basket of range balls and a course guide. Much appreciated. A refreshment cart passed our group multiple times during the round. Picked up food at the 10th tee.

Looking forward to teeing it up again at Tarandowah.

a good links course

in a gusty and sunny afternoon, we played 4some at this course. It says there are over 108 bunkers at the course, the fairway was dry and hard, the green was faaaaast.

The proshop was very friendly and helpful .

The only thing I can see an improvement is the amenities and the club house, it can use some renovation.

Great shape tough greens.

Course was green but rough was a bit more over grown than normal. Went on the long weekend with family and found the pin placements very difficult and close to the edge of the greens on a lot of the holes (felt like the holes were setup for a professional tournament). Find the price to play this course fairly expensive considering it does not have a proper clubhouse or dining facilities. No ball washers at any of the holes and tee off markers were not clearly identified or were missing. Overall the course was in good shape and greens were fast and firm.

Great layout.

This course is a real challenge. Choose your decks wisely. The greens here are fantastic. Very playable course but when the wind is up, it's a whole different game. Not your average course here. Requires thought every shot. Love this place. Just wish it was a little closer to my home but worth the drive from Kitchener.

RANKED 40?

A good course but ranking is way too high. Nearby Otter Creek is a better course. They have tons of traps but should have a machine to work them as having patrons doing it has just as much chance as most who do not repair divots. Greens are tough, not to many flat spots.

Challenging Track for a 35 handicap.

Great tracks for tournament .. unfortunately a bit too much bunkers for intermediate player like me. Long track with very little giveaways.. Great conditions on starters, fairway and greens were in best shape I’ve seen this season.
Had a good day, not happy about my score and definitely challenge my sand box skills loll..

Great staff, thank you!

Worth the drive

Course is one of my favorites and if was closer to our home in Burlington we would play it a lot more.
Aiden the young man that works at the course in the pro shop was extremely friendly and very helpful Nice to see that at a golf course this time of the year.

Terrific course

Excellent tees, fairways & especially the tuff greens! The variety of tee blocks are outstanding! First time ever getting a flat tire on the buggy, mentioned to a greens staff & within minutes a new cart was brought out! Crazy British Open winds, but loved it!

The course had been through quite a bit of rain. Unfortunately the staff don’t answer phones until after 9AM so was difficult to confirm whether power carts would be allowed. As it was we sucked it up and walked anyway. A number of the fairways were quite wet - as could be understood after quite a lot of rain. The greens drained very well so were rolling nicely. It was a nice day, a bit of rain, wind on a nice links course in southwest Ontario.
