pleasant surprise

1st time, I was pleased except for the weather.It was under 50 degrees so not very busy so the round was quickly . Staff very friendly let me out early due to lack of volume. Greens rolled well but not as fast as cart guy said they were. Being a slow learner I left most of my putts short. I certainly recommend but am a bit concerned about price point . I got a great Golfnow deal but the rack rate is about $90 For Canadian snowbirds that equates to $125 CDN which might be too much for seniors like me

Shame on you Golf Now

Rarely do I come down hard unless I feel it's deserved. Never during the booking phase did Golf Now state cart path only due to over seeding . I was OK with cart path only, not with trying to find my ball in the fairway every time me and my group hit. I felt I overpaid due to the conditions and being from Canada the premium on the US dollar I paid to play leaves a bad taste in my mouth. My money would have been better on another GolfNow course. You need to be more honest. That being said If you say your sorry we may be able to salvage our relationship.

Remarkable

tip of the cap to management, they have brought the course back from the brink of no return. Last time I played here it cost me $10 and I felt robbed. A couple of greens need some work, but overall well worth playing. Great job people.

great day

nearly perfect, played with 2 guys and an up and coming star in Ladies golf Yana Wilson who was very gracious the whole round as she crushed me on every tee..I have a memory to take home with me. OCN staff the best around. I got a great deal but was treated no differently
than someone who paid a lot more. tip of the cap.

PS I did somehow manage back to back birdies on 9&10

super day

got a hot deal time,arrived early and course was kind enough to pair me up 45 minutes before my tee time. Played the first nine with him and the last by myself. Many courses are not this nice.It almost backfired though as I almost aced the 11th with no witnesses.
great conditions played in less than 3 hours! would be great if they were all like that. Thank you Eagle Creek and starter Bill

very old tired carts

most times you get what you pay for and have no reason to complain, but the carts we rented were priced higher than most other better courses in the area. I would not buy the cart for what we paid for the round. They have long surpassed their retirement date. The course is ok mostly played by weekend cottagers and locals. Good course for less skilled as they have 6 par 3's and forward tees

Only drawback was the unfriendly twosome ahead of us who were not very social on the occasions we caught up to them. Having conversation seemed to be a chore...... If you guys read this lighten up it is only a game.

Walked

thanks for nothing

Golf course canceled my booking 45 minutes before my tee time. Only realized it just as I was about to leave for the 10 minute drive to the course. NOT NICE. I wonder what they would have done if I showed up. Played there the day before and had to walk a long way to the first tee due to OCN closing the closest parking lot to the short course because of preparations for their private demo day event. For a great facility they doubled bogeyed twice.

Heartbroken

This course was one I always had on my list. Something major has gone wrong here. I hate being negative but there is nothing positive to report. It is a mess. Avoid until you see more positive reviews. Carol from the pro shop was very nice. After some thought she allowed me to start 45 before my trade time. I finished in 2 hours.

I hope the course can be improved as it is worth saving as it has a good layout and challenges the average player. I will play again if conditions improve.

A super place to play, a challenge for bogey golfers to score if not on your game. Staff very pleasant and let us out before our tee time, for some reason the course wasn't busy that day. I would play there more often but it is a 2 hour drive from home and a border crossing

bring a rake

Too, too many bunkers! They are everywhere. If you are not a single digit handicapper this course is a huge challenge. If you do not have the right mindset it will frustrate you, as every shot has to contend with sand. That being said I got a great deal from Golfnow and enjoyed the round. The layout other than the bunkers is excellent, and the fairways were green in many areas unlike some of the other courses around.
The course may be easier to play as the weather warms and the ball flies further. Pick the right tee box and this is still worth playing.

nice layout

My wife and I drove 10 hours from Canada for a mini golf trip because the weather forecast for the weekend was fantastic in North Carolina. I check Golfnow for deals and rely heavily on reviews for my choices, so everyone should take the time to review the good, the bad & the ugly. It sure is appreciated.

I enjoyed the round. Fairway grass was still dormant and brown but the green greens made a nice contrast. Fellow golfers ( 2 foursomes) allowed my 2 some to play thru. Classy. Play the course if you are in the area

more for your money

harder than it appears, played just after the hurricane and conditions were very good other than a few washed out areas and bunkers.

Directional signage is an issue, got confused a couple of times to where the next tee was. Access to some tees were difficult, walking gingerly down hill to cart path.
If you get a hot deal play the course it is worth the time

My first

I learned the game on this course some 50 years ago. They had a junior program back then that cost us $1.50 to play on Monday & Friday mornings.... even Golfnow can't compete with that price.... The course was in great shape, staff very friendly....My only complaint is the pace of play, this course should never take over 5 hours to play, as there are not a lot of hazards in play. The rough will make your next shot a little tougher but it is not long enough for one to lose your ball. The course does not have a lot of long par 4's so the pace should have been better.

If I have only 1 round left to play, and I hoping Friday wasn't it, Lakeview would be on the top of my List!

Ps I would Play this course more often but I live 3 hours away and hate driving in the GTA as too many idiots want me not to arrive.

Tale of 2 nines

WOW for the back nine, a slice of what Pebble Beach looks like for scenery for which I will never see.
Front nine ordinary at best, play here if you are nearby. I drove 200 miles round-trip just to say I played on the Monterey Peninsula and the back nine made my trip worth it.

Mixed emotions

This is the toughest review I have ever done. A great course for couples to play but there was some issues I had some problems with, like having 4 groups waiting to tee off on the 13th hole , strange place for a backup, Marshall had no explanation

Beware Golfnow hot deal buyers, we arrived early and watched the first tee empty 3 times the hour before our scheduled tee time course would not let us out early which is their right, but maybe there would not have been 4 groups on the 13th hole. It was so ridiculous my wife went in to the proshop 11 minutes before our tee time demanding a cart key they would not give us to load our clubs. Where I come from if you are not chomping at the bit 20 minutes before your tee time you are LATE!

That being said nice little course great for husband and wife and family golf, lots of chances for birdies if you are 18 or less handicap

Always on my list to play when I visit from Canada. Many great holes that can bite you if you don't pay attention. Cart staff/starter top notch. Course was just coming out of being closed for a week due to over seeding so it was not in the best of conditions, greens being rough, still was a good day. Will return on my next visit.
