good course, staff was friendly, pace of play was bad due to a junior playoff game in front of us, we had ten people on the 11th tee waiting for the juniors to move on. would have been nice if the course had posted a warning on website, got rained out would not give me a raincheck said I had to call golfnow.

Too difficult

Too difficult for the average senior golfer, some holes from the white tees needed 190-200 yards + to reach the the fairway, very unforgiving on misplaced shots.
Not my kind of course.

High winds, dry rough make it tough!

Dry weather will add to the already tough elevation challenges, I do enjoy those lol overall a challenging layout to be enjoyed. The greens were well cared for and receptive considering how dry the rough was today.

Some nice views on elevated tees. I birdied 14! Stuck it 3ft to pin with a 7 iron ciao arrivaderci

Why so expensive????

I am all for paying $100 on a Sunday for a golf course. The course better be in great condition and give me something to think about so I want to come back. First off why would you pay $100 for this course when you can pay $60 for the Beddoe or Martin muni golf course. The layout of this track is tough, but the course is super dry. I struggled to make good contact on some holes because there is no grass. Just wispy brown strands trying to be grass. If the city of Hamilton is listening, stop trying to bend over the people playing your golf course!!!!! I will not go back to this course for that kind of money. Honestly these people need to give there head a shake with these prices…….
