Oaks of St. George Golf Club
Played On 10/30/2016Liked it so much....
I booked myself in the very next day...
What the course lacks in length; it more than makes up in beauty. It is a real shot-makers course and should you make those shots; you will reap the rewards; especially on the front 9.
There is a premium on keeping the ball in play; I like the fact that the driver is not required on every tee shot and a couple of the par 5's play much longer than what is stated on the scorecard due to the prevailing wind and the fact that they are uphill.
Pro shop staff were friendly and I felt like at times I had the course to myself. A great two days of golf; well worth the drive for golf as it should be. Can't wait to go back...
Ballantrae Golf Club
Played On 10/22/2016Exceptional Conditioning; Fantastic, True Greens
Braved the elements and played Saturday, October 22nd. It was cold and quite windy but my reception from the pro shop was warm and I was allowed out early ahead of the foursome who had just checked in.
The course conditioning is stellar, the greens are true and fast. Really liked them. Fairways are wide and generous. There are some real nice holes; the course reminiscent of play down South as there are a number of houses surrounding the perimeter.
Was lucky enough to stay out of the bunkers; they looked hard but I would chock that up to Fall golf conditions.
I played via a Hot deal on Golfnow and I am glad I did. For the rack rate charged here; there are better options in the area. Having said that; I enjoyed the day here feeling like I had the course to myself; golf as it should be! On a Saturday...thx Mr Weatherman.
Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club
Played On 09/17/2016Come for the greens and the challenge of holes 3 through 5!
Super-easy check in with very friendly, informative pro shop attendant. Great practice range, very nice practice green that also matches the pace and undulations of the greens.
Was able to get out early and really, really enjoyed the challenge of holes 3 through 5.
Although not super long on paper; this course plays much longer than the yardage states.
Conditioning is real good for the most part. The best treat of the day by far was putting the greens at Cherry Downs. Even in the rain; they were putting true and were rolling real nice.
Despite the weather I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Cherry Downs and cannot wait to get back there.
Angus Glen Golf Club - South
Played On 09/11/2016Sure glad I didn't pay the rack rate! Angus Glen = not my fave course
Check in with stunning golf shop attendee was seamless; check in with starter not quite so seamless.
Was disappointed by mats-only practice area. (rack rate: $150 plus HST)
Tee off was on time, quickly noticed that threesome ahead were quite slow, no rangers on site. Our threesome took 5 hours to complete the round. ((rack rate: $150 plus HST)
Conditioning of fairways and a few greens were suspect at best. Ball marks, shaggy greens... IMO conditioning should be top notch for the fees they charge at this establishment(rack rate: $150 plus HST) . Sadly I left Angus Glen disappointed,
Great beginning and finishing hole; conditioning will have to improve before I re-visit Angus Glen.
Tangle Creek Golf & Country Club
Played On 08/28/2016All expectations were exceeded! Cannot wait to play here again!
Walked in not quite knowing what to expect; check in was quick and easy; we were off right on time.
From the very first tee shot you get the feeling that you will be playing a real treat of a course...nice elevation changes; challenging carries; undulating greens that putt oh so true...I cannot say enough about this place. It is a real pretty course; rugged yet playable...as a bonus we got to see a wild turkey making his rounds...
Sleepy Hollow Country Club
Played On 08/27/2016Great layout, excellent staff; suberb pace of play; crying shame about the greens
Super excited to get onto a Private course to play. Check in was super easy; got off without a hitch and all was going well...until I saw the first green. It was 75% bumpy grass and 25% sand. Foreshadowing of what I was in store for putting wise for the rest of the day...it was such a shame. The layout of the course is very nice, very playable. The tee boxes and fairways are in decent shape but I cannot give a good review to a place with greens that are mostly comprised of sand. I was able to get around in record time. I suspect the conditioning of the greens may have had something to do with this fact.
Fix the greens please and I will be back in a pinch...
Whirlpool Golf Course
Played On 09/20/2015Classic Design
Great player's course. The staff was super-friendly and accommodating.
The par 3's from the blues are monsters; the course is in very nice shape and playable. For a public course; the greens were quite nice.
Pace of play could have been better; but it was Sunday afternoon play and the pace was decent.
Will definitely be back.
Grand Niagara Golf Club - The Rees Jones Course
Played On 09/20/2015Niagara Golf at it's finest
If you are heading to Niagara; be sure to make a stop here. You will not be disappointed. From the seamless check in to top notch practice facilities; to well manicured fairways and fast greens. The course does not disappoint and 3.5 hours for a foursome to play on a Saturday morning?!?!? Golf as it should be...
Twenty Valley Golf and Country Club
Played On 07/26/2015Simply a nice 1970's Style Course
If you are looking for a real nice park land style course; with a 1970's-ish vibe to the design; this is your place. Lots of mature trees; nice greens, nice soft sand, great layout, great flow...super-friendly staff, pleasant marshalls. A real nice day out.
Hockley Valley Resort
Played On 07/19/2015Great value; decent pace of play for a Sunday
Thankfully I was paired up with a father and son who had played the course just recently. There are a number of blind shots on this course so course knowledge is key. Think that this level of a resort should have GPS included; that would be extremely helpful. Fairways and greens are in great shape, large amount of slope on the greens. A couple of the tee decks were pretty rough but all in all; great value for your dollar here at Hockley
Thank you for your review. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you for another round soon!
Calerin Golf Course
Played On 07/18/2015Slow play alert; slow play alert
Extremely friendly staff and super nice course design is completely ruined by the poor pace of play at this facility.
Improve the pace of play and I would go back in a pinch. As it stands right now; I will not book play at Calerin.
Century Pines Golf Club
Played On 05/18/20157 minute tee times?!?
Really; 7 minute tee times. Course was jammed. Pace was unbearably slow even for a Sunday. Will not go back.
Wish someone would have advised me of pace of play prior to booking...
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback....and you're 100% accurate. You'll need your "A" game on the par 3's from the blues tees!
