Port Dover Golf Club

This course is very well maintained and has some great features.

Very nice course in good shape. Pace of play was good. Very helpful and friendly staff.

For this early in the season the course is in very good condition. The greens were fairly quick and in good shape. Got a great deal on GolfNow and the weather cooperated as well. Can’t ask for anything more….” Well a better golf swing.would be nice.”

From my home in Hamilton, the Pt. Dover course is approx. one hour's drive but it is well worth it. I hadn't played there in a few years and thus was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades both on and off the course.
We were first welcomed by a jovial starter ; then after checking in we were sent on our way with two pleasant golfers also from Hamilton. Since it was a beautiful day the course was busy but we were around in a fairly brisk 4.5 hours despite letting two groups play through. Marshalls were making their rounds attentively but not intrusively..

One of the difficulties with the course in past years was
poor drainage but there is now evidence of extensive new drainage ditches on both nines to deal with this problem. The greens were pristine with challenging hole locations and good speed. New "tips"have been added to many holes to challenge the low handicap golfer. The
par 4 15th which I would label the course's signature hole is especially diabolical from the backs.

Pt. Dover has an impressive practice area with a large
practice green and a most extensive short game facility including a bunker. From the cement patio you can watch approach shots to the two tiered ninth green or follow the ball flights of golfers starting their rounds off the 1st.

And, of course, the price was right; $30 + tax including cart on GN. Worth the drive.

Too bad the course was soaking wet from the day before. Only played 9 holes of the eighteen scheduled.

Course conditions “soft” but understandable for the first week of April. Certainly very playable.
Lots of work being done on the course. Trees/limbs being cut and tidied up. Some dredging(?) of the creek on the back (still muddy around it but it will improve). Looks like a few tee boxes have been worked on as well.
Overall very positive impression. Will play it again when sunshine firms things up.

Although it was cart path only due to the large amount of rain recently it was still a nice day.
The fairways were well kept and the greens were great.

greens and tee blocks in really good shape lots of work being done in middle of most fairways. grounds crew not moving out of way and interrupting game about 50 percent of game and they woukd not move as we asked them to move but they wanted us to hit over top of them. I went to front desk to ask for replay as this way really bad and distracting. person at front desk really rude and would not let us replay as "it was like this yesterday as well and it's it's bad and just play thru them" would not recommend this course as management is poor and rolling eyes as I came in advising I was not happy with grounds crew.
