Nice track

Have played the courses several times and it is a good track. Challenging and usually in good shape. The greens were not so great to-day.
Staff is genrally not so friendly. Food and beer WAY to $$$$$$$$$$$
No cart girl.

Needs some TLC and will get worse as dry summer arrives

Course was OK but needs some love around bunkers and greens.
Could use some more trees.
Fairly wide open but long for seniors from the white tees.
Staff were ok but one not overly friendly.
Lots of flies and dust don't make for a real pleasant experience.

Gale force winds

Good track and enjoyed the day.
Staff seems to resent green-feerers and show too much preference to old members due to having to become public. Reception is very poor.
Made to feel like 2nd class.
Will return despite this as like the course.
Greens are brutal.

Hot day

35C with the humidex so a hot one. Course was good and greens lightning fast.
Paired us up with a senior couple as we are not members. Still think they are a private course I guess.
Made for a slow round and less enjoyable. Couple was extremely nice but bad golfers. That can mess with your game.
Overall not a bad course. Staff was not overly reindly or helpful.

Lovely stting, great course

Nice layout with spectacular views. Fairly wide open but still long and challenging.
The orchard nine is the best with more trees and better layout in my mind.
Pace was OK, we played behind a 4 some of what appeared to be regulars or members who took their time. We never pushed them but on the 9th hole my partner hit a ball near the green while they were celebrating and chatting. They complained to the course and we were chastised by the marshall at the next tee.
Was not a serious push and it was unintentional. Really ticked us off and took away from the round.
Won't play again unless I get a bargain rate or on someone's expense account.

Great aprons!

Heard some not so great reviews by my neighbors but decided to play anyway. Was very pleased with the condition of the course with the exception of the bunkers. They were poorly maintained and sand was like mud.
As are most courses currently (good rainfall) the fairways and aprons were in perfect condition. So were the greens.
Green to tee is extremely long in many cases so walking is not an option.
Pace was not bad but no marshals to be seen.

Take care of the small things

Course was in pretty good shape shape but they are not taking care of the details that make a course nice to play.
Weeds, and lack of trimming around objects tell me they don't care foe=r the small thing that make a facility look cared for.
Won't go back as it a bit out of the way and many better plays for the money.

Great course

This course is in great condition and a pleasure to play. The scenery and quiet is refreshing.
The Whirlpool has the helicopter and this one has honey bees!
Slow 4 some in front was annoying with 2 open hole in front of them but we still did it in 4 hours.
A mrashall would be a nice touch.
Overall; a great venue.

Superb

Really enjoyed our round. Weather was perfect and the course was in superb condition. Fairways were soft so lots of plugged balls but overall the greens and whole course was in great shape. Play a bit slow due to a hacker 3-some in front but still did 18 in 4:20.
So quiet and serene you could here the bees buzzing in the shrubs. Saw a mink near the 10th tee.
Highly recommend. Liked it better than the Battlefield track but it is great too. No helicopters constantly buzzing overhead like at Whirlpool. (really drags that track down).

Nice course, good condition.

Live across the river on the Cdn, side and wanted to try the course. Lots of good comments from friends.
Pro shop staffer was a bit surly, starter was very good.
Liked the course but play was very slow. Waited on every tee and almost 5 hours for 18. No Marshall.
Won't likely return given the great courses available on our side of the river.

I'll be back!

Very good course for the money. Great value and well maintained.
Only beef was pace of play. two foursomes of ladies in front of us playing best ball. Unbelievably slow even for BB. No help from Marshall.
When I mentioned it in the pro shop after the round, the staff shrugged it off as they were learning. Lost them in the back nine and played in 1 1/2 hours.
Some tricky holes. Lunch off the menu included makes it a real bargoon. Overall very nice venue and I will go back for sure.

Lightning Greens

A real beauty of a course. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition.
Guess it should not be a complaint but the greens were EXTREMELY fast. I now have a feel for the PGA tour courses. I could not control my putts (no more than normal!) and likely lost 8 strokes.
Will definitely return.

Needs some TLC

Got a hot deal for my 4-some from Golfnow. Under $17/player with a cart. After playing the course I understand why. They were aerating several greens but that was not noted on the web site when booking.
The entire course is in dire need of watering and a lot of TLC
The fairways were hard as concrete and the cart paths were full of craters. A bit of gravel and some care would go a long way here. A lot staff (kids) seemingly working around the course but not much evidence of their efforts.
Had we paid full green fees I would have been extremely disappointed and asked for money back!

Great outing

Weather was suspect so the traffic was light and we (3) got off 30 minutes early. Played the round in about 3.5 hours.
Course was in excellent condition and we will be back.
Drop your clubs at the drop.. Will not let you take your cart to the parking lot.
Green to Tee is a journey on some holes, take a cart.

Very nice course at the Golf-now rates

It was a perfect day for golf and the course was in excellent condition. They could have designed a few more dog legs as the almost every hole is sriaght down the middle but overall very nice course. Greens were fast and true.
Constant tour helicopters over head was annoying and detracted from the overall experience.
Saw a fawn on the back nine.
Beer girl never darkened our round so we were annoyed about that.
We will play there again using GolfNow, too pricey otherwise.
