Course landscape is wonderful. You can see wild animals like deers at hole 14 & 15. Green is too sandy and slow.

Mediocre at best

Bad tee time scheduling
Terrible greens (already winterized)
Fairways bad shape ( lot of patchy areas)
Tee boxes need work for sure.

Disappointed 4 some. Greens were in poor condition

Very disappointed in the conditions of the greens. The course did not tell us they had been recently aerated and the holes had bad edges. Looks to be old holes. The ball did not roll true. Too many bumps. Had we known when I booked the time, I probably wouldn't of booked.

Great classic layout never disappoints

Challenging, picturesque course (amazing when compared to area municipal tracks including Toronto). Pace of play was great (finished in 4). Great to see a proper set-up from the Whites at over 6000...enough long par 4 holes (+350-420 yd) to keep your scorecard honest. Greens looked like they were punched within the week, but still ran true. Hope to return soon.

Challenging course

Some great holes. There are many challenging holes as it is a tight course. Straight drives are key.
