Great course, a little pricey though

Having the range was great, the staff was friendly. Pace of play was exactly what you would expect, not waiting or being rushed. The only issue is that the regular price is a little high for what you get. The scenery was amazing and the course was in fairly good shape.

Great track, good conditions

The course is a great design. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape - the greens are good but not perfect. Better than expected based on the reviews of others. I enjoyed so much that I played 36 holes. Can’t wait to return in a few weeks.

How the mighty have fallen.

I cried a little to see how this beautiful track has self imploded. I’ve played it since the 90s and Covid or no Covid this level of deterioration takes a few years to accomplish. Greens were unplayable which could be forgiven if the rest of the course conditions weren’t so equally bad. Grass on the green had gone to seed-never seen that before. Bunkers were about 50-50 to have sand. Fairways looked like a quilt with all the sod patches. This place is owned by Skyline who are also selling homes surrounding the course. Their interest may lie there as opposed to maintaining what used to be one of Canada top courses (I used to review courses). Spend some money before this gem goes under.
