Members get better treatment

Semi private course, played with a buddy that has a cottage on the lake and we boated over. When they are busy they give the better power carts to members and the less charged ones to guests. We had two power carts that ran out of battery before finishing 18 which was frustrating. The staff have some customer service skill they need to polish up. Oh and don’t play after a rain or you will be walking on swamp grass - poor irrigation on all holes. If it weren’t for the “cool factor” of boating over and being picked up and at the dock and dropped off after the round I’d rather play a local muni

Great weekend course to play with friends

If you have a cottage on the lake this is the course to play. You can boat over to the dock and get a ride from one of the guys in the pro shop up to the course with your clubs. The course has large fairways that are easy to hit so you can bring beginner golfers here and they will enjoy themselves.

Classic Stanley Thompson

Course conditions were excellent. Very old mature Stanley Thompson that is fair but challenging. Located a bit off the beaten path but worth the drive.

Very nice course. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, some of thre fairways were being aerated which took away from the otherwise pleasant experience.

Great conditions, rude staff

The course was a little wet after heavy rains but otherwise in great shape with the greens very smooth. We walked it in three and a half hours as a slow foursome let us play through. This is a classic old style layout with interesting design and small greens. Fair but challenging. Unfortunately our only interaction with a staff member was the young lady who checked us in and was very rude. Seems that the GolfNow bookings aren’t as welcome as the members. I had a similar experience earlier this year where I was greeted with “oh, you’re the GolfNow group”. If they don’t want public play (they always needed it pre-Covid by the way) then don’t allow it. Treating green fee players like second class citizens in the one year that a pandemic makes you busy doesn’t seem like a good long term plan to me. Like I said, excellent course though. We will keep playing here and endure the 2 minutes of poor treatment at check in.

Yard markers

There were no markers to show how far away from the pin, example 100 yds, 150yds, there were a few but hard to find and it was confusing where to park, the pro shop needs a more visual sign and direction where to park.
Thank you

Great afternoon at Windermere

Golfed at 1pm on a nice 21c afternoon as a foursome. Started the round just ahead of schedule and were completed in just over 4 hours. Absolutely love the 11th Hole Par 3 off the Granite Ledge with magnificent gardens surrounding the Green. Course improvements over the last 2 to 3 years are fantastic. We were members at a course close by but this course and layout is 10 times better !! Our buddy missed an Ace by less than 3 feet on #11.

A great round..

I thought this course was excellent! Layout was basic at times but some gorgeous holes with elevation changes. Course has very small greens to shoot for so short irons must be on point! Greens played very slow despite being 28 degrees during the afternoon. I’ll definitely come back and give it another go!
