Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course
Played On 08/25/2020GOING DOWNHILL FAST
I played all 3 nines with local members here for the second time this year as a visiting Kanaff member and encounted detoriating conditions due to lack of course maintenance. Course design is great, pace, staff proshop, are all very good. However, bunkers were flooded with more clay than sand, tee markers were mostly missing (fortunately the locals knew where to play from). Crabgrass was covering most white tee boxes. Uneven lies on tee boxes as a result of uneven seeding while trying to fix the crabgrass problems. Washrooms are in need of cleaning as wet floors and so much litter!
I understand that Covid may affect staffing, but this is difficult to accept.
Really used to be a great course, but current experiences are NOT TO BE RECOMMENDED!
Carlisle Golf and Country Club - East/South
Played On 08/23/2020PLEASE Help Train the Marshall Staff
I've played this course as a Kaneff member regularly and recently encountered issues with the marshall group. I understand that Marshalling is a fine line between customer service and course management, but I found Ned the starter to be quite arrogant and controlling power tripper while overlooking his post. Neither did Ned understand the covid distancing as he continually approached me while I swung my driver to establish 6 feet spacing. Other Marshall's that day were unable to manage pace of play and chalked it up to "Its WOMEN in front of you" as an excuse for slow play. OUCH! That's NOT acceptable in 2020! Another marshall couldn't speak well enough to be heard, possibly due to age or health. Great to have a marshall staff, but little values if they cannot do a task effectively. Touchy job that most courses need a proper training program.
Oaks of St. George Golf Club
Played On 07/17/2020Detoriating Course - Uncaring Staff
Played here many times and I can see the decline over the years as GolfNorth does it on the cheap! Carts are beat up and not cleaned, covered in mud and litter. Covid cleaning is substandard, staff social distancing is unapparent and staff being masked indoors is not being followed. Greens were burnt of disease spotted. Lots of water needed. Ponds are full, but course is dry??
Management seems to be hating their jobs and oblivious to customer needs. For the price, there are many better courses in the area. Highly NOT recommended.
Wachesaw Plantation East
Played On 03/09/2020A little worn
Played 27 holes on this course after 3 days of rain. Course was wet in some places and did not drain as well as other courses. Unfortunately, play was slow and Marshalls are not apt to step in to move play along. Staff are friendly, but marshalling diplomatically can be challenging. Proshop staff and restaurant staff were excellent
Included driving range is a great benefit.
Course seems to be in need of maintenance as many cart paths are up heaving due to tree roots. Many worn spots and beaten grasses spots as a result of carts driving off road to avoid bad carts. Not sure of green fees as I purchased golf package but only play again at a discount.
Arcadian Shores Golf Club
Played On 03/08/2020Always Enjoyable
Played 36 holes in early spring as fairways were in good shape and rough was growing in. A little wet after 3 days if rain, but held up well in draining with only a few cart path only holes.
Enjoyable course, friendly staff, good challenge. I would readily play here again.
International Club of Myrtle Beach
Played On 03/06/2020Nice course
Thr overall course has a great layout and enjoyed playing here after a long winter.
Staff are always friendly and helpful making day very enjoyable
Spring conditions as grass starting to grow back in.
Played after 3 days of heavy rain, course was especially wet, but playable as cart path only. I can see it draining well after another 3 days and would play here again.
El Varadero Golf Club
Played On 02/19/2020Always enjoy playing here
This was my second trip and just as enjoyable as the first. The course layout provides a great challenge while it's the wind that changes every day, making each day, each shot different from the last. The greens are slow, but straightforward and once u get used to them , it's great. Fairways are wide enough for the average player, making it very enjoyable. Weather in cuba is always warm and perfect for golfing . Yes you can lose a few balls, but if you look hard enough you'll find just as many..
The added $33CUC for the cart is over the golf package cost, but is for the whole day. So feel free to go back to hotel for lunch and come back in the later PM. Packages are available at each resort, with melia les Americana being the closest. I did not bring my clubs this trip and stayed at Melia International and paid $130 CUC for golf, cart and rentals through the Air Trsnsat agent. . Will surely be back again.
MontHill Golf and Country Club - Blue/Gold Course
Played On 10/29/2019Great day st a great course
Wow.... today I played late October, pretty much on the last day of the season and conditions were a little wet but overall GREAT for so late. Greens are in perfect shape, rolling true with almost No ball marks. Staff at pro shop are especially friendly and helpful. Course layout is ery pretty and excellent with many challenging (and long) holes so choose your tees properly. I will surely play next season in warmer weather.
Cardinal Lakes Golf Club - Heron Course
Played On 10/25/2019Great course for late October
Wow, surprised about the great greens conditions so late in October. PS, dont overhead the breaks on the green as they are less than u see. Overall, course layout was very good, long par 4s to challenge your drive and second shots. Very wide open, great for sprayers, but watch the water ponds that caught many shots . Would definately play again and consider a membership if I lived closer by. Overall conditions were great But, would clearly recommend cart paths need much improvements as pending and mud buildup on paths really beat up the course.
Mystic Golf Club
Played On 10/16/2019Great Challenge
Mystic always plays tough! Great layout with each hole uniquely designed....including the Par 6 10th hole.
Conditions are usually very good. Bring your A game.
Dundee Country Club
Played On 08/12/2019Extremely POOR conditions
Played here on member guest where they were unannounced airating the greens. Course design and layout are great and very challenging with long par 3 and even longer par 4s. Conditions were Extremely poor with dried out tee boxes almost needing a hammer to set your tee. Fairways are extremely burnt and VERY hardpan.... where divots are impossible. Greens are dry and VERY non receptive. Overall NOT a Premium course and WORTH THE VISIT.
Uplands Golf and Ski Club
Played On 05/02/2018Great Little 9 Hole Course
Played 18 holes early in season w cart in about 3 hours. It very scenic as it's built within a ski hill with lots of woodlands. Best take a cart as it's REALLY Hilly. First hole needs solid drive followed by long high uphill shot. Challenging SHOTS with #3 a little wet due to early season. #7 a great driveable eagle par 4 when downwind, followed by #8 super challenging par 3 where you may want to use a driver, but it's makeable. Solid finishing hole #9 where a solid drive and 2nd shot will set you up for another eagle. Expect it to be hilly and some bumpy paths as many of the big tree roots are pushing up the paths. Just drive slowly. Carrie the GM and her staff were VERY friendly and helpful. Must be the new staff now under Golfnorth management. I would readily play this course again, scenic, Challenging, friendly and especially if short time.
Doon Valley Golf Club - 18-hole Course
Played On 08/05/2016excellent course
As a first time visit to Doon Valley i was totally impressed with the staff, course conditions, layout and excellent electric carts.
course conditions on many courses this year were tough due to the lack of rain but here at DValley it hard to notice any brown at all. Tee boxes and greens were fabulous. Layout was a good challenge with a great finishing hole.
Marshall John was helpful in guiding me to shelter in a sudden storm and provided some great course tips. Rudy? the starter was friendly and set me off early. As a single, a local member Cam was able to play first 4 holes and offered much guidance. All helpful on my shooting a low score of 80!
Finally...take a cart as holes are seperated by a lot of walking! Will definately play again.
Scenic Woods Golf and Country Club
Played On 10/24/2014Scenic Woods - worth playng!
Great value for the money. Greens were in good shape for all season. Looks to be some sprinkler improvements for next year. Some efforts in the sand bunkers would make this a great course.
Staff, especially Marshalls were very helpful.
Challenging holes with par 5's providing opportunities for birdies while unique par 4's (#4, #6 and #14) provide risk/reward situation for those longer hitters - otherwise lay up and rely on your iron play and putter. Tough Par 4's in both #15 and #17 challenge you to hit your best shots to have a chance at par. Each of the par 3's are no gimmies , especially #13 which is scenic and intimidating.....give it your best shot.
Great ending #18 where birdie and maybe eagle is possible to entice you to be back for another round.
Streetsville Glen Golf Club
Played On 11/14/2013Would only play it on discounted rate from GolfNow
Really a shortened course more appropriate for beginners or shorter hitters
Rebel Creek Golf Club
Played On 10/29/2013Great day at an outstanding course. great layout with pristeen white sand bunkers. 5 levels of tees provides game fit for all levels.
Early frost did not hamper exceedingly beautiful course. Course has enough go-for it holes as well as trouble for every level....while still being forgiving on wider fairways. Played with member Larry who was a great host. Would love this to be my member course if I lived a little closer. Would surely play it again.
