Disappointing

Just like almost everything else these days. You don't get what you pay for. There are a small amount of courses in the GTA that charge premium pricing to play. Upwards of $165. When you decide to treat yourself and go to a high end course. There are certain expectations that you have prior to arrival. This course did not meet my expectations on this day. I read a bunch of recent reviews before deciding to book here. You can take most reviews with a grain of salt except when many of them bring up the same points. Here are my pros and cons for the south course on this day. Food and beverage were thumbs up. Cart and restaurant. Only Ontario has way too many rules about alcohol. ( but please feel free to go drink in a park isn't that what a golf course is? ) I don't go to a course for the food and beverage though. Does anyone? I go for the golf course. Greens were too slow. Weeds and some 3 to 4 inches high on some tee blocks. Holes cut on the greens looked like they had been in the same spot for several days. No sharp edges to them. Fairways and rough were nice, both a bit long. Most course don't cut on the weekends. There are far better course conditions out there and some for much less money. Covid seems to have ruined golf. Very few people will respect the course and other golfers. Please rake the bunker, fix your ball mark, repair your divot. Make an effort to leave the course perfect. Otherwise go play mini golf.

Wonderful Track

The course is in superb condition. Restaurant was closed for any food while we were at the course. Crazy being a long weekend and a full tee sheet. Finished at 1130. Still no food. Greens were slow but in excellent shape. A treat to play.

Challenging

You need to go around this course a few times before you have a chance to score well. Plenty of blind shots. Not many even lies. Most fairways tree lined. Some would say target golf. Course is in very nice condition and the staff are wonderful.

After reno's

Course was friendlier after filling in a few of the many bunkers, and at this time of year the fescue is low. I've always had a good experience at Eagles Nest. Nothing different this time. Range, food, staff, conditions, course. Very enjoyable. Cost is high, but in the GTA one of the courses that doesn't seem to have cut back on maintenance or service, especially bunkers. Which I was told have all beenqorked on and have new sand. Weather was perfect so course was busy. 10 minute tee times helps spread things out. One of the most difficult courses in the GTA so the round took 4hrs 40 minutes which is normal for this place. We were a 2 ball amongst a bunch of 4 balls. Just enjoyed the sunshine. If you don't have patience here you're in trouble. Not gonna squeeze a quick 18 in at the Nest. Enjoy the range before and the food after. Pub and restaurant have tasty food. Lots of functions here so many times the restaurant isn't available. Great halfway house.

Seen better days

Greens were a nice speed and thw bunkers were consistent and had a nice sand in them. Course must have aerated the fairways recently and recieved a lot of rain. Every ball fairwy or not had mud on it. Lies in the fairway were rarely rewarded with a nice cmooth carpet of grass under the ball. Trees need cutting back. Layout is quite nice. With some cash invested could be a great track. Tees and greens need to be rebuilt. Hard to find a tee time so some areas beaten up with the amount of play. Have been playing this course since the 80's. Hope the ownership spends the cash to make this course as good as it could be.

A once great track

The positive. The greens were fabulous. Fairways in nice shape. Tee boxes decent shape but a little hard to get the tee in on some boxes.
The negative. Bunkers are very poor. Some grown in, some have lots of weeds in them. Even the ones that have been semi maintained have very little sand. Before Clublink took this course over it was always in superb condition. I hear now the course to be sold and a Resort built. Still if we pay the price that Clublink wants I would expect proper bunker maintenance. Props to the greens keeper though. Simply beautiful greens.

The Abbey saved

Happy to know that Glen Abbey wont be homes anytime soon. Pricing for this course is crazy. Anywhere from $110 to $240 depending in there dynamic pricing. Most courses have decided to put it to the customer because of demand and travel restrictions. Still a treat to play a tournament course. Lots of room for error.

Good old Woodington

Don't play here often anymore but still enjoy it. Only complaint is the golfers not fixing ball marks on the greens. Seems to be an issue almost everwhere. Solid course with good conditions and a thick second cut. Only got 12 holes in before the skies opened up.

Quality

Grand Niagara is always a wonderful experience. I hope at some point soon there would be a little more sand added to the bunkers. I really enjoy the layout and the staff are always very pleasant. The course is in excellent condition.

Finally allowed 2021

I was thrilled to get a decent tee time on a beautiful day to play for the first time since Oct. of 2020. Grand Niagara is one of my fave courses in Ontario and I usually make the 1.5 hour drive atleast once a year in order to enjoy it. They have started to get it in shape since the lockdown was lifted but the greens were somewhat slower and spongier than normal. The rough must have been crazy long because they had cut it but, it was still quite long and had the clippings resting on top making things a little difficult to find the ball and get it out. Everything else was up to par and I look forward to another visit this season. Fantastic service and a superb design.

Fun in the sun

Had a beautiful day to enjoy a first round at this course. Paired up with 2 good guys. Greens superb. Smooth and quick. Course in very nice shape, except the bunkers. Seems to be a universal thing this year with the bunkers, not horrible just not great. Old school golf course. Not long. Will definetly be back.

Grand day

Always enjoy this course. Mother nature provided fabulous weather. Greens in top notch condition. Paired uo with two great guys. There are plastic dividers in the carts. Did not like these. Dont allow for air flow nearly as well in cart. 30 minure arrival time not enough to get a decent warm up in, but thats typical at all courses in this covid climate. Its a must play for me every year, even with the 1 hour and 45 minute drive each way. There is no other course like it in Ontario. Of corse there isnt another Rees Jones course. They have flipped the nines once again. Now starting off by the clubhouse as hole #1. Scorecard doesnt reflect that. Course was busy for a Monday afternoon. Treat yourself to the excellent conditions and a very fair test of golf.

Covid golf

Course was well orgainsed for the new norm. Good communication. Course was in nice condition, other than some bunkers had not been maintained. Group ahead was slow, no marshalls but overall a good experience for the first time out this year. Bring patience to the courses this year. If youre in a rush stay home.

Tough to get a day with very little wind on this course. Luckily we had one. Course in superb shape. Only twosomes out. Pace was excellent. I treat myself once or twice a year to this very difficult but always in fine shape golf experience.

Nice to be scatter

This apring has been verybfrustrating for golfers amd courses. We enjoyed playing without CPO today. Greens were fast and soft enough to stop the ball. Bunkers a little inconsistent. Fairways and tee boxes good. Enjoy this course each time I play here. Good mix of holes.

Early season golf

The area has received a large amount of rain recently so the fairways hadnt been cut for sometime. They were furry. Greens however were a decent speed and rolled fairly well. Hope to return when the course is in mid season form.
