Great fall track

Played on a cold fall morning. Conditions were great considering it poured 2 days straight beforehand.

Pin placement was tough lots of fortified greens with all the sand.

Overall great track!

Great course

The course is in great shape. Greens are well taken care of and responsive. The staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely care about ensuring customer satisfaction.
My only issue is that the course layout can be a bit confusing. We weren’t always sure which way to go to get to the next hole, but we lucked out with having a couple of members behind us who were happy to point us in the right direction. 😊
We just moved to a place that’s only a few mins from the course and we look forward to our next visit.

Great layout

I was vacationing with my family near by and found this course. Golf course is fun, layout is tricky especially from the Gold tees. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Free bucket of balls with your green fee, practise area was good. I played here 3 more times that week. 1st round was completed under 3 hours, how can you go wrong?
Would definitely play here again.

Not worth the time or money

The course will not accept cash for anything, we paid for a bucket of balls for the driving range, but had to leave over half on the range because they decided to send us out 20 minutes earlier than our tee time and wouldn't refund us for the balls we couldn't use. Won't play here again!

Last of season

For November it was good just to get out there. Course had been aerated on both the fairways and greens making fairways very soft in spots due to early morning rain.

Other than that always a pleasure playing Oliver's Nest. Pin placements could have been a bit more forgiving due to time of year and aeration.

Worth the Drive

An hour drive for me but always a nice day of golf once there.
Friendly clubhouse staff and starters at a well maintained and playable course. The poa greens took some time to grow in this spring, but the greens staff were out there giving TLC and once filled in they putted nicely.
Nice farmland scenery everywhere, good variety of hole designs, and plays across the Mariposa Creek now and then.
I’ll keep coming back for more.

A Great course

Even though it was cold and wet, this was one of the nicest courses we have played. Greens are large and very undulating. Some may 4 putt or worse if you get too far from the hole or on the wrong level. Can't wait to play it when its warm and dry!!

Oliver' s Nest. Very good. Worth the drive from GTA.

Played in the afternoon on 10/10.
Staff were very friendly but only seeing the cart lady twice was a bit disappointing.
Course condions were very good. Grrens rolled true and very few unrepaired ballmarks. Good on them that theyput instructions on scorecard as to how to fix a ballmark.
Greens often have tiers and a fair amount of slope. Fairly quick.
Fairways were in very good ccondition as well.
