Course conditions not the best

I’ve played Scenic Woods in the past and conditions have been pretty good. However this time the fairways were not being watered and it is like playing on “concrete hay littered with weeds”. I know they are trying to preserve their water supply but playing on it was less than ideal. The greens were great (water was not an issue here) and rolled well. Hopefully they course can start watering on a normal basis and green up the fairways.

Rough Shape

The fairways were basically dead and hard as concrete. We moved along in under 4 hours which was great. Greens are overwatered and slow. Needs a lot of rain since they don't like to water the fairways.

Bone dry

Fairways were extremely dry with very little brown grass. Hitting off the fairway was like hitting off concrete. Only positive was that the ball would roll a long way. Greens were ok as they were taken care of and watered. Better condition of the fairways would improve playing experience.

Don’t come here

Despite the quality of the grass on the fairway being equivalent to hay and every tee box a combination of unwatered grass seed and sand i was having a very good game, that was until the marshal decided that he wanted to leave work early and called us off the course an hour and a half before sundown... we had just teed off on the 17th hole. I would’ve been reasonably upset about this and had a civil conversation with him but he was so rude he must have been born on a highway because that’s where most accidents happen. After heading over to grab our balls he came back around for a second go at us and screamed that the cops were on the way because we weren’t moving fast enough which is ironic because I don’t think this guy has moved fast since about 1985. I’m not one to give unsolicited golf advice but if I could give you any it would be to stay as far from this place as possible, the greens were immaculate though.

Good layout. Some challenges holes on the back nine with water hazards.

First nine played well. Very dry, so lots of rolling distance. Greens are well kept and watered. Back nine has challenging holes good for intermediate golfers. Lots of water on back nine. It’s through the woods, so it gets quite buggy for twilight golf. I think it was mens night because the course was backed up and the foursomes moved very slow.

Good course

My best around this year. Good course. Nice trails around. Front 9 was a bit slow but I understand. I played single and there were groups of four before me.

Great course

Scenic Woods is a nice, enjoyable 18 holes. It was my second time playing it, but about a decade apart. Despite the dry spell in Southern Ontario and the hard grounds, the conditions were still pretty good. Definitely looking forward to playing another round.

Course condition

The course was fair. The fairways were very dry but the greens were in great shape. I was a little surprised at the high cost For a cart rental. After playing 7 different higher end courses, this one was the most expensive. Probably won’t play it again.

Course is in great shape. Hole locations are great too. Today was a breezy day but the different directions of the holes makes it a fair game with and without the wind. I play 2-3 times a month.
