Good Round

Arrived 25 minutes early. Was paired with three others. Finished the round in 4.5 hours. Course was better than expected.

Pretty Horrible

This course and bowmanvile have to be the worst you can get by far. They must have the same owner or something. Everything neglected and unplayable. Would not go back even if it was free.

Hi,
I’ve played this course many times and have had great experiences. They have a very steady flow of business and many happy customers whenever I play! Maybe you were having a bad day but I’m sure they’re not upset from losing your business. Open tee time for me!

Enjoyed it

The course is in good condition where it needs to be. Played the whites since first time playing. Got an eagle and couple birdies. Too bad NBC / golfpass is such a pathetic company. Never buy anything from them again. However will be back to the course with friends (NOT booking on golf now)

To be clear. COURSE IS AWESOME. golfnow sucks. Hopefully they get a solution and remove themselves away from golfnow.

First Time This Year

Course was in same shape as previous years which was fine. Starter was kind of dumb, was paired with 3 junior golfers and asked them if they wanted to play together (they were front tees I was tips) By the time i took my second shot they were just teeing off. Guy chased me down on the second hole, and forced me to hold back despite saying I wouldn't push anyone ahead (was no one on the next green). The result? 3-4 holes in front of us open by the 6th hole and 3 groups on the tee waiting to tee off while on the green. Lack of common sense basically ruined 4-5 groups rounds, and help me up by an hour. Luckily I got it sorted for the back nine.

Unfortunate

Hoping this course can recover as years previous I always enjoyed it. We started and the first few holes were fine as usual. But as the round went on the bugs become horrific (3-4 tee shots were barely able to complete due to 100s of bugs swarming you) on top of that it seems some animals hhave completely chewed up multiple fairways making many shots/lies unplayable. I understand it's the beginning of the season, So I will check it out again mid june and hopefully see some good changes.

Not what I was used to in a good way

While the actual condition of the course was similar to what I am used to playing. That is where it stops. I arrived to check in which went smoothly. I then proceeded to have a late breakfast (included) then hit the range to shoot a couple buckets (also included) since I had rented some clubs (not included). After that I had a shower, change of clothes and a light lunch (included). Then went back to the chipping/putting green. The starters loaded my clubs, gave a towel and filled the cooler with water/beer (included) and we were off. Throughout the round we saw the beverage cart 4-5x and got more water/snacks (included). At the end of the round the staff cleaned my clubs (included but gave tip) while I ordered dinner and had another shower/change (also included) . Overall it was worth the 1.5 hour return drive from where I was staying for the price. Something to make a day out of but more so once a month instead of weekly.

Wish We Could Finish

Really enjoyed the course, was a shame we couldn't finish due to the massive storm that rolled in. Will definitely be back to play again. Loved how on many of the par 4s you could tee off with an iron for less margin of error (from the whites anyway..) and avoid the woods on the narrower fairways.

Okay for junior/beginner

I would recommend this place only to beginners / high handicaps just playing for fun with friends. If you want a challenge or care about the lies/fairways/sand you will be hitting off of. This is not the place. Lakeridge on the other side is about 1/2 to 1 star better.

Fun and Tough Course

One of the more challenging courses I have played especially with the windy conditions and first time playing. But I loved it and would definitely recommend. Course is in mint condition.

Nice Practice Course

Course is a nice little track to learn how to play or to hone in your iron game. It's typically a great place to play in the summer/fall. However some serious drainage work needs to be done for it to be enjoyable for spring golf. If you play before June make sure your shoes are waterproof.

Great place to learn

Nice little course. Greens are really nice to look at, just keep in mind they run much slower than the average. Many of the par 3s will have you in trouble if long/short or too far left/right so a great place to practice accuracy with the wedges. All but one par 4 is short. You can decide if you want to go for them using a 3w, or use a 5-6i and leave yourself half a wedge to the pin.

Teeboxes need some serious work as they're very uneven. Would suggest you ignore the tee block placements and just find any spot that is flat. Also if you know your distances, ignore the scorecard and bring a rangefinder.

Played all three

This was my second round at this club this season. First time played the grist/wheel, second time played the grist/grind. All three are good. I would not suggest walking the grind course. The grist is quite easy and basic, the grind is the complete opposite. With the wheel being somewhat in the middle. The wheel can get a little damp.

Amazing Challenge

Played from the farthest back silver "pro" tee's one round today. Unreal challenge. Definitely worth the try if you want a challenge! When you crush the best drive of the day.. but are still 200 yards from the green... on a par 4 you know you made a mistake lol. This course has an amazing challenge for all levels, for me I will stick to the blacks and/or blues.

Second Chance

Price was good so decided to give this place a second chance after a horrible first experience. Much better experience this time, pace was good and others offered to let play through. Declined since it wasn't busy and shot 2 balls (different games). Finer details being improved could have this place going from just okay to very nice. But for end of season it was acceptable.

Enjoyed the course - great condition

Late fall round with some friends. First time playing this course, and was much better than expected. It is more of a straight forward course, plenty of opportunities to shoot well here. The condition of the course is amazing. Today the pace of play was fine, however being a 9 hole I could see some issues when the weather is nice and multiple groups are out for 18 and getting jammed up. Will definitely be adding it into the rotation of places I frequent,

Despicable

Had played this course a couple times in the past and was never a fan. But after today will NEVER go back. WARNING - The photos uploaded on the side are FAKE nowhere does the course / layout look like that. Walking up to the pro shop noticed the flag out on the 9th and the green completely destroyed. Pro shop attendant lied to my face when I asked if work was being done that day on the greens and said "just 1 or 2 holes". Blatant liar as every single green was in absolute pitiful shape, the WORST Aeration job I have EVER seen (pictured below). on top of that the fairways were littered in leafs and debris, and hard as a rock. Course grass not cut properly and impossible to find a ball. Every time you hit the fairway dirt flew like it landed in a bunker or something. And just when you think it couldn’t get worse, there are HUGE tree roots everywhere, lying just below the surface INCLUDING the middle of the fairways. At best you will hurt your wrist/hands just once, but more likely multiple times or completely break it before the back nine especially if you have any competency hitting a ball (which includes taking a small divot).

One of my favourites

First season coming to an end, and have visited around 15 or so courses. This is one of my favourites. Pace of play is always decent, course usually in good shape. Am a fan of the layout as well.

First time playing

The guy in the pro-shop was nice and had me off immediately. Course was alright, a bit too easy for me personally over driving most par 4's with a 3w. You will either love or hate the layout, I wasn't a fan. Course could use a bit of TLC which it seems the grounds crew is working on as I type this, they were working hard today on the tee boxes (which most tee boxes were fine btw). For the price I got I would probably try it again in the future, but would pass at a price increase.
