Terrible tees Photo submitted by JSP2118 on 08/25/2019
Great course
I played the east course for the first time and it was a great course layout. They were holes to use all the bag. The staff was very friendly. Good value.
Awful Pace of Play
Absolutely terrible golfing experience. I played the East Wing course, and although the course itself is nice, here are my complaints:
1) With four courses on the property, it’s absolutely ridiculous that there isn’t one designated for singles and groups of 2. My friend and I waited for 10 minutes at every tee box, and were completely unable to get into any sort of rythme. The pace was awful, and even after we tee’d off, we still had to wait at least another 5 minutes to take our next shots. Any golfer knows how frustrating this is, yet Cardinal chooses to pack their course and maximize their profits without any consideration for providing even an adequate customer experience.
2) The golf carts - a classic example of where simplicity is preferred. These “high tech” carts beep every second of your round, for the absolute dumbest reasons possible. An ad for their pro shop (as if they don’t make enough money from having golfers tee off 3 minutes apart), covid rules, or whatever else it may be. Also, the cart locks if you drive a little bit off the path, and asks you to go back towards it. Only problem - THE CART IS LOCKED!! You literally can’t move it back upon their request. This makes no sense. And the best part, telling us that we are AN HOUR behind pace and to speed up or a marshal will come and speak to us. Well, we would’ve welcomed a discussion with the marshal to complain about the terrible pace, but we didn’t see one at any time throughout our 18 hole, 5 HOUR golf game.
All in all, the course is really nice. Some of the holes are close together, but you can’t be picky in Toronto for things like that. However, I’ve never played at a worse pace, and seeing other reviews only confirms that this is the norm at Cardinal Golf Club. I can confidently say that I will never go back. I advise anyone looking to play an enjoyable, good paced game of golf to go elsewhere. Or don’t, and spend all that money to sit at the tee boxes for 10 minutes each time.
Soft greens and fairways
With the weather being so hot this year, the course is in excellent shape. Well maintained and enjoyable to play. The course offers very challenging holes for not being a long course. I really enjoyed the round today and would recommend this course. Good bang for your buck. The staff were very organized, right from the parking lot to the first tee.
Thank you kindly,
Carlo
Refund Pending
Cardinal staff offered 9 hole refund for each player, but Golf now unable to provide refund at this moment! a little disappointing stuff like this cant be ironed out quickly and easily!
A Great Course to Play in Southern Ontario
I've wanted to play Cardinal for a long time and finally got to. I was not disappointed as the course itself was a lot of fun and provided a challenging round.
Only complaints were that the tee boxes were in horrible condition (mind you it was the long weekend and we teed-off in the afternoon) and you rarely if ever saw on-course staff. We were behind pace by half an hour due to a group two spots ahead of us and the marshal was nowhere to be found the entire day despite our in-cart screens constantly alerting us we were behind.
PROS:
- Course Design/Layout
- Green Conditions
- Reasonably Challenging
CONS:
- Tee Box Conditions
- Absent On-Course Staff
Cardinal east wing
Gold course was in great condition. However, that is the only positive thing I have to say. To start with, we were rushed off the first tee deck by the starter, asking us to go while the group a head of us was still too close, there was no reason for this, as us being a 2 some and the group in front being a 4, we knew we would be waiting on them. Pace of play was extremely slow. Having to wait 5-10 minutes on each tee deck. The cart gps/screen would constantly beep, telling us things like to not touch the pin, or that pace of play was too slow. This beeping was extremely annoying and we could not turn it off. We were told a second cart would be an extra $44, and the divider installed on the cart was not, in my opinion sufficient to keep us separated as per covid 19 rules. To top it off, it was a rather hot day out, and we only saw the beverage cart once, on hole 4, finally on 15 we called into the pro shop, took 2 try’s to get a hold of them, to ask if the beverage cart could come out. Then we saw her on 16.
We played a twilight round. The starter wasn’t around when we teed off, so there was about four groups just going one after the other.
I’m not sure if guys were teeing off at the right time, but it would’ve been nice to have someone there to organize things.
Other than that. Round was great. Course was great.
Horrible
Horrible day on the course, the pace of play was horrendous the greens were all chopped up, the carts beep every second with ads which drove me crazy. Would not recommend
