Fall golf

Have played here many times over the years . The course has improved significantly since golf north took over. Leaves were not a problem for this time of year, however the food selection was limited. Good value, good course.

Service

The clubhouse was great. Food was terrible groundskeeper cut the grass when we wee putting. Groundskeeper ignored us on the tee off and shot grass clippings at us. In 40 years of golf Ive never experienced this I would play the course again but easy decision considering we only paid 20 bucks with a cart

Great Value

Course was in wonderful shape. Greens were awesome. If this place had paved cart paths and a full club house it would be a club link candidate. Let hope not. Let's hope it stays the same being a great track for being less than $50.00 with a ride

enjoyed the course

My wife and I played in 13 degrees , windy and heavy dark clouds. The course was wet due to rain the previous days. We both enjoyed the course very much. There is a lot of variety and character beyween the different holes and the course design , greens and pin placements made one think over shots and putts. In our mind this is one of the best courses in a radius of 75 k from Peterborough and well worth playing. Pars are the reward for good shots and good putting. Kudos to the maintenence folks for well maintained fairways and greens.

Pace of play

Very good condition and layout. Pace of play too slow. I suggest more marshalling required. It took 4 1/2 hours to play.

Return trip

Haven't played here in 14 years so quite surprised. Conditions were really good. Fairways and tees were excellent and greens were very good and fairly quick. Clubhouse is still jib need of an upgrade but functional. I'll be back again.

Cart breakkdown

The golf course was in good shape, greens were cut. The cart we were using kept breaking down,seemed like battery problem cart 102 .We walked from hole 18 to the club house. We were given another cart to finish.There was three men in the club house and some of the cart seats were wet! All in all ok .

Good cottage course

This is in general for every course. If they are going to cut grass and other maintence to the course can they start from 18 and back so that you don't have to deal with them on almost every hole. This way you only see them once. It's very annoying. In general this is a pretty nice course not to hard.

Outstanding Golf Course

This is an outstanding golf course in excellent condition from tee to green - fairways and traps especially in great shape, greens were a little slow. The course has a great layout with several forced carries to add to the challenge.

Good Course

Played here 10 or so times the last 5 years. Golf North is doing a good job making needed improvements as it was getting a little run down 2 years ago when they took over. Overall it is a well designed course that challenges better golfers but can be fun for novices. I find the pace of play always really good.

Great round

The course was in excellent condition, a few challenges but generally a forgiving course. Pace was steady with no back logs or pressure from the next group. Will definitely be back.

Great time had by all

First time this year to play this course. Had a difficult time booking earlier in the year.
As a foursome we enjoyed the course and the pace of play was great.
We played two on two - best ball, was able to keep up to the twosome ahead of us. This made for fast pace of play and enjoyable game.
Impressed with the improved quality of the fairways.
The grounds keeper has done a great job to improve the course.
