Got a Golf now deal, made it worth the drive to Oshawa. Course was in great shape, except for a few tee boxes, which were pretty rough. Greens were good, quick, sizable. Fun elevation changes, challenges. I recommend a cart for most people, especially in the heat.

It has been years since I've golfed here, and I remembered why; it's a challenge and I usually look for more relaxation on a par 3 course. This no pitch-and-putt. The elevation changes, blind shots and length on 2 of the holes make it a tough test for your average duffer. It is a lovely course, well maintained. A cart is necessary for all but the most intrepid. The distance between holes and the climbs are quite daunting. The infamous 5th hole, 192 yards over a protected bush-filled valley, is practically a swing-and-hope, as you can just barely see the green. The last hole is 212yds and woe betide you if you deviate from the middle very much. Of course, there are always the traps right in the center of the fairway to deal with too. All in all, a fun, but hard round of 12 holes in 2 hours.

I booked here by accident, but figured I'd have a look. Usually, I play the big course. It's an easy walk, the course was in really good shape, and it was a good test of 103-185 yds shots from the back tees. A couple of ponds for scenery change and to keep you honest [I dunked one into the marsh], and, while it was a bit slow, we still got around in 1 3/4 hours. For $20, or a little less if you are a senior, it was well worth it.

Very pretty place, lots of different ways to get around the course; it will take all your attention to score well. All told, a fun day,

It was a long drive from The Beach to this course and the mist hung around, but the people at the course were friendly, the price was right, and golf is golf. It's fun to go to a different course; the trip to the tee-off of the second nine is about a 8 minute ride; i thought i was lost. It's worth a trip around if you get a good deal and you have the time.

Lots of fun figuring yardages, wind, slopes etc. 3 long holes to challenge, can be made by the brave and steady. Lovely view from the top of the course. A good way to spend a couple of hours. The greens are interesting, starting big time at the first hole.

met 3 other golfnow guys and lit up the fairways and forests. it's a fun mix of letting the big clubs out and short irons to fair greens, start with a birdie on the first hole and a few 15-footers later you have a good 2hr game under your belt.

played with a 21-year old kid who could hit it a mile and was quite plaeasant. we had carts which was nice as it gave a breeze between shots. I have played here a bunch of times and if GolfNow has the good price, it is a dandy way to kill 3 1/2 hrs, less if there's no one in front of you. all clubs get a workout, lots of par 3s, all in all a good time. good deals on clothing at the pro shop, good hot dogs.

I got around in 1 1/2 hours by myself; great. I know the place, the quirky holes [par 3s] the lines to carry [don't go right on your 2nd shot on #2] and the greens are fair. for the golfnow price it's all that. if I didn't have to drive 45 minutes, it would be even better. and now the restaurant is serving good food [wings, yum]

it is not a long course, but it is a challenge enough for most golfers, I think. I lost enough balls, slicing and popping up into creeks, that I want to go back and bear down a little more. I think some of the holes are going to be fantastic-looking when the leaves turn colours. pay attention to the course map for water and mind your yardages. a couple of good second shots to test your nerve.

this is a big golf course. there are a couple of long, pleasant drives between holes through the forest. I felt that the course was better than my game. the layouts of some holes are lovely, ponds and bends and elevations galore. the greens are subtle and quick. there are scary bunkers and if you go into the "rough", your ball is most likely unfindable. I found it to a real challenge and was worn out after my round, but in a way that makes me want to give it another go, when the price is right, that is. I had a lot of "hot deal" rewards to cash in, which made it a reasonably good deal. it's a beauty of a course. [the carts have tricks, like slowing down if you go past the "carts exit here" signs or go into the rough.]

if the traffic is not too stupid, I can get here in 30 minutes from the east end of toronto, which is a big plus. it is a full-sized course, lots of room to air it out, great par 3's. my favourite hole is in direct line with the landing path for pearson airport. if you time your shot right, it is like hitting it up and watching the plane tow it along to the green. the noise of the jets about 100 feet above you is a real kick for me. the greens are a good challenge, nuanced and quick.[I had 3 bogeys on the back 9, all 3-putts] this is one of my favourite courses around town. I have to watch for a good deal to play here, as the regular cost is a little more than I would usually pay [okay, i'm a bit of a cheap guy] but that's why i'm reviewing for golfnow, right? the 18th is always a challenge, try not putting too many balls in the drink.

took my daughter 17, who has had a bit of golf instruction, [not much] to let it rip on a manageable course. mostly she liked driving the cart. there were other dads and sons and couples giving it a go also. it is a nice place to practise your short game,and have a couple of good cuts at 200yd+ holes. it was a bit of a drive for us from the beach but the hot deal made it okay pricewise. it is an easy to walk course.

I had not played here since they built all the housing around it. we used to play here when it had 18 holes because it was inexpensive and easy to get to. it is a funny layout, with some crisscrossing in front of other tees, so be careful. I couldn't resist the golfnow hot deal with cart for 9 holes and it was 2 hours well spent. they still have that ridiculous 220-yard par 3, lord love it. it is a bit of a test overall, have fun with it.

played the white and blue courses. blue has more difficult holes, if only because of river attracting balls.that should not be a problem, but it is. while the par 3s on white and red have water of their own, the blue par 3s are relatively straightforward. it's a great place to check out your skills, get tested and have some fun, all for a pretty good price.

I got a last minute deal that couldn't be beat. it's often windy around here, makes for some longer-playing holes. I found this course to be a nice test of golf with nothing too stupid and some birdie chances if you're swinging well. greens are tricky enough to add a few strokes. well worth playing if you keep your eyes open for a deal.

I landed in the first trap, and 3 shots later I got back out to the battlefield, feeling like I had taken cover from the Yankee muskets. The course took its toll on me, as I left a few balls in the ponds and woods, but that was more my fault than the course's. I hit from the whites and that was good enough for me, as I only hit it about 200 yds, at best. The thought of someone going from the gold tees was head-shaking. There always seems to be a pretty good breeze out there, and it lengthens some holes in an interesting manner. I got a good price from GolfNow or I might not have come here. There are other courses in the area, but this one is a great track, full of fun.
