Streetsville Glen Golf Club
Played On 07/29/2017Trashy course that's not worth the cheap price
This course has really gone downhill in the last ten years. The conditions are brutal - everything is out of repair, the holes are virtually on top of one another, and it's only a par-62.
Even at a very cheap price, this course is trash. I won't go back. I'd rather play Peel Village - a beautiful 9-hole - than suffer through another 18 here.

Played On 5/20/2013Has potential, decent value, but a number of glaring flaws
Teed off early-mid morning. Problems were numerous - the ground was incredibly hard and very difficult to put in a tee into the ground. Fairway was like astroturf.
Course layout was downright dangerous - tee boxes were way too close to the previous green, unprotected, and often, directly in the line of aim, such that any slightly overshot approach shot would end up almost hitting the next party.
There were no hole layouts provided, either on the card or on the tee blocks, such that you had very little idea where to shoot from a half dozen tees. There would be a crest ahead with a dropoff, and you would have no idea where to aim - is it a dog leg? Is there water? You have to guess and pray.
Finally - the piece de resistance - on the final hole, the maintainers of the course decided that they needed to hose down the green while we were playing. As they saw us approach the green, they didn't stop doing what they were doing. They didn't move aside so we could finish the hole. We had to literally shoot around them. Aside from making this a worrisome shot, it put them (and us) at risk, and was completely inappropriate.
Overall, it was a nice day, however, I cannot give this course more than a 3. It could so easily be a 4, that it's frustrating.
It has changed multiple times over the years due to development. It is slated to be a 12 hole course for next year. We will create something more playable with a couple par 5's.
