Played Fergus South and West today with my buddy. South course was in very good condition. Some wide open fairways to start and finish and some tight ones in between added to the challenge of the round.

West Course is wide open and lots of room to unleash the fury. Not a lot of challenge on the west course but fun to play all the same.

My recommendation is play the South Course for the add challenge.

From the minute I checked in to the minute I left I was impressed with the course, facility and staff.

I showed up about 40 minutes ahead of my tee time as I wanted to putt and chip a few before my tee off. I walked into the pro shop and was met by extremely friendly staff. He gave me a detailed description of the course and the greens which paid off during my round.

The speed of the practice greens were consistent with the course greens which is always a bonus. The greens are 1 year old Bermuda grass. The greens were fast and rolled very true; it was pointed out to me by a member to only take half the break you see. Doing this improved by putting but you still need the right speed.

The fairways are generously wide and there is very little rough before you enter thick trees which I was told hold a variety of snake species not conducive to a good round of golf. I entered the bunker a couple of times and the soft sand was nice getting out of. There was some staff on the course and they are very friendly and helpful should you choose to speak with them. I played the black tees just for the sake of doing it and it provided an additional challenge to my round and a few extra strokes.

If you are ever in the area this course is a must, you will not regret it. Like I said, from start to finish this course is a pleasure to play and all the staff were absolutely amazing.

This is a nice track. The course was in very good condition other then a few tee boxes needing some TLC and a couple of greens had some bald spots. The fairways were nice, being from Canada I found the grass very unusual and the ball seemed to sink into it quite a bit. The greens were firm but held very well and were a consistent throughout the day. They also rolled true and birdie putts were possible. The sand traps were not playable as they did not look like they had been attended to for quite sometime. I choose to lift, rake and place the ball rather then drop outside the bunker and found this was a fair way to play, happy I only had to do it twice.

The fairways are generously wide and forgiving and the rough was not really that rough at all. I played the blue tees and due to the number of dog legs left and right I found myself with a long iron in my hand more times then not. This is not a bad thing, it forces you to manage your game and I choose to play a conservative round.

I did not find the staff there to be very friendly and they seemed unhappy I booked through Golf Now and stated they were finished with Golf Now in March 2019.

I would golf here again should I be in the area as the golf course did not have the same attitude as the staff.

The staff here is awesome and Super Friendly .
The fairways and rough are in great shape right now but the greens are terrible. The greens were recently aerated and top dressed but that's not what the problem is. There are a lot of dead spots and whoever has cut the greens has cut into them leaving horrible marks, sometimes the length or width, of the green itself.

The bunkers were wet and not playable but if you want Golf North does promote the "lift, rake and play" rule

Still the value is great and the course for the most part is still fun to play.

My other reviews say it all. Just be aware the greens are a little bumpy after the aeration but they are quickly returning back to normal.

The course is playing great.

This is the second time this year I have played here. This is quickly becoming a favourite course to play.

The staff is nothing less then spectacular from every department. The course is in amazing condition and the pace of play is more than acceptable.

This is a great track.... if you have never played here before give it a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Victoria East is an amazing course. Well laid out, and extremely well cared for it provides a challenge for golfers of all levels.
The greens were recently cut and rolled very well and true. The sand traps were well kept although I was lucky enough not to have entered one.
The rough was nice and even but is thick and is a challenge to get out of, keep on the well groomed fairways to help you score well. The pace of play was awesome being 3 hours 45 minutes.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. This is a great track to play when you get the chance.

I have golfed here many times and this course never gets old. The grounds staff keep the course looking and playing great.

The course plays like two different courses in one with both Links style holes and traditional wooded holes. The green have some nice undulations with good movement.

Stay in the fairways, landing in the rough will cost a stroke or two especially on the Links part of the course.

And the staff from the Pro Shop to the starters and hospitality are awesome.

Booked a round for me and friends. Right away we found the staff dismissive and rude. While on the course we were constantly harassed by the marshal, who after two holes was telling us to pick up the pace. There was nobody on our back and we were a foursome following a twosome. We finished the round in under three hours but were approached by "Marshall Dillon" four times about slow play. We finished two holes ahead of the group behind us.
The Mosquitoes were crazy on every hole...every shot, everywhere. The bunkers are unplayable any the tee boxes hacked beyond on belief. The golfers seldom repair ball marks and love to leave cigarette buts on the very slow and long greens. The course is poorly laid out and on two occasions you have to walk in front of the tee blocks to get to the next tee block.
Not a course I would recommend to even the person I like least in my life.

Staff was awesome as always. The course is not a particularly difficult and it is wide open. Yoh can get into a little trouble on a couple of the holes.

It a Fun track for the average golfer.
