Warm day in october with a steady wind

Course in very good shape; greens were. Very firm.

Doing some work here to establish cart paths which I am not keen on. This s a short well laid out track with no need for carts

Played awful. Fescue was very unforgiving today!

Usually play here 2-3 times per year but first visit this summer. Like the course layout and level of challenge.

Some greens were rough ; folks fix your ball marks please. Several tee boxes were chewed up as well. However enjoyed the round and will try to get back before end of season

Staff always friendly here

In spite of only being 9 holes with alternate tees, this remains a decent layout with a couple long challenging holes.

Course in good shape, Greens a bit spotty; could EVERYONE please fix your ball marks!

i went out by myself with a VERY slow group two holes ahead when i started the back and caught them after 3 holes, they did waive we through however, Course gets a bit backed up at times because you play the same nine.

Nice day,. Played terribly, oh well............

First Time Playing

First outing out Shelburne

To be honest I played this course many years ago in a business tournament and lots of refreshments and a torrential rain were involved

Course has s nice layout and is pretty open. The 9th is a vanilla par 3 but rest holes are decent and s couple good length par 5s.

Lots of roll and elevation change in many fairways. Greens in good shape and moderately quick

Was the round I finally got a new driver dialed in but my irons weren’t :(. But enjoyed the course and will return.

Bit of a logjam on starting tee but once we teed off pace was very good

FERGUS EAST WEST

one of my repeat courses. Easy to walk, took a cart today as my wife has had back issues, but she had a great outing, only her second round this year.

Course is pretty open, with a few challenging holes and a few at good length, so you get to use just about every club in the bag.

Greens were a bit beat up, Golfers please fix your ball marks.

Pace was OK very quick on front nine, no one ahead of us, Back nine was a bit slower.

i like this course for it's open layout and ease of play, South nine is very tree lined and different feel

Great value even regular rates are fair

Full 18 at Turtle Creek

i've played the front nine here about 4 years ago, This was the first time playing the entire track,

TIGHT layout, but not too much issue with stray shots, several sharp doglegs, and blind tee shots.

If in good position not too tough, helps to know where to put the ball and on e of our foursome has played here before and was helpful in this. Several fairways slope heavily so position off the tee is key here.

played with 3 guys from KW area who were awesome to p,lay with, two of them came together and i and another single made up the group.

Pace was slow, over 4 1/2 hours to play, but course was very busy, No sign of marshals and no starter which may help.

Course is in very good condition, Greens are very undulating and very grainy. Putting down hill with grain easy to be 8-10 feet past hole, but putting up hill or into grain, you had to putt very firmly NO cup sits flat, i had 4 full 360 lip outs on well made putts.

overall fun round, weather was great and now that i am a bit familiar with the layout would certainly like to play it again,

Well the rain came as threatened as I hit my tee shot on the par 3 second. After a chip and one putt for par I took refuge in the nearby porta potty! After 10 minutes it stopped and stayed dry though the winds were gusting.

In spite of fighting a major left hook all day and having to look for several balls I played 18 in 2 hours and forty minutes; rain delay included cause there was no one in front of me. Gotta love good pace of play

South course Fergus

Played the south and east nines this morning. VERY different layouts.

South has a couple holes, 3 & 4 that need to be trimmed back to allow for a reasonable chance to hit the fairway from the tee. Otherwise is ok with small greens that are in good shape. A few tee boxes are rough; again due to lack of sun getting to them.

East was in good shape played in 3 hours.

Good course for a quick round the west east setup is very open and easy to walk

This is the 9 hole track at Oakville exec, bit longer than the nines at Mystic ridge

Not overly tough the two newer holes added number 7 and 8 are the more scenic and challenging.
Course in good shape and greens immaculate though I find these a bit softer than the 18 hole course. Not as much gorse and long grass and bunkers are better sanded

Great deal on golf now got out early and played in1 1/2 hours!

Have not played here in about 3 years, not much has changed

Short course with a few drivable par 4's. Small greens, and lots of trees and swampy areas.

Couple challenging holes on the back nine,

Course was a bit beat up in a few areas, maybe from cart traffic earlier in the spring which was very wet.

good day pleasant company with a couple young guys, very hot and humid day. Excellent deal on GOLF NOW

haven't played here in a couple years.

Course was in fine shape and greens were IMMACULATE!

Played with a pair of local gentlemen from Fergus, who were great company.

Weather was hot about 28 but not oppressive.

This is a decent course with a couple of quirky holes, and a few semi blind approach shots and pins were close to edge on a few holes, but if you hit the fairway you have a good opportunity on most holes.

Got a bit slow on the back nine, but finished in just over 4 hours

Mystic Ridge

Third round here in past month, Course has dried out a bit, was very soft recently which is understood given the rain this year. Weather was perfect today, 25 degrees with a very slight breeze.

Rough is still very thick and gnarly; greens are in very good condition,

Downside to the day was pace of play. Foursome went out 15-20 minutes before me and a couple in between on a cart ( which is unnecessary on this course) I played alone.
You can see a lot of the holes from most points and the course was wide open in front of the foursome. The couple played from the back tees, which isn';t a big deal here, but they didn't anything past 150 yards. Both engaged in 4-5 practice swings per stroke and he read every putt on his belly a la Villegas. Didn't see him drain any.

They remained 1/2 to 1 hole behind the slow foursome. What could have taken me 2 1/2 hours took nearly 4, with a minimum 5 minute wait on every tee.

i am not a pro, and hit my share of bad shots and look for a lost ball (if time permits) but i cannot understand why people take so long to play. Find your ball, hit it and walk.If you have a cart, park it on the right side of the green and maybe take an extra club and ball with you, should your partner be parked on opposite side of the fairway.

Having a marshall drive by every couple hours may help

Haven’t played the ‘south ‘ 9 at Oakville for a few years. Little more of a balanced nine holes vs the Executive 18 layout but still not not very long at<2900 yards from the Blues. The last three holes are real good

Course is still soggy as is everywhere In S Ontario this spring and rough is thick and treacherous.

Slow play very busy but steady pace played with a local couple and their daughter who were great company and the weather was oerfect

MYSTIC RIDGE

i have played this course more than any other course im my time. One would think i would have it down by now.

Not long, lots of par 3's Greens vary a bit from the older holes to the newer part of the 18 hole layout; holes 3-12 are newer and greens have more undulation to them.

The rough was positively nasty today, very thick and long, lost a few balls and when i found them lost some strokes trying to hack out. Hit the fairways and greens and is a pretty straightforward course.

i like it due to the layout, which makes for a nice comfortable walk and if not busy can be played in about 3 hours easily.

great course on a deal and for a quick round in the afternoon through the week. Weekends are busy here and play is very slow typically then.

They have a 9 hole track with more challenging length

WINDY, COLD, WET AND SLOW

I play this course 2-3 times each year. Out by myself as my wife wasn't feeling well.

EXTREMELY windy which makes this course tough to play. the rough is long grass and gorse, and the bunkers are not typical soft fluffy sand,

Greens were actually pretty quick with little break, wind was a factor putting as well,

i was between two foursomes to start, and the group ahead were terribly slow. Understandable you are looking for lost balls in the gusting winds; i did as well, but lets not be stupid about it; it's a ball and no one was going low today.

This course is 9 holes with different tees. played part of back nine with wonderful couple from local Rockwood.

Not a great day for the game, and waiting on every hole in cold wet conditions is not fun,

But i like the course and will be play it again this year.

COLD, WET AND WINDY

at some point spring will arrive in southern Ontario, but not today.

Weather not withstanding it is a fun little course. Winds were costing me 20-30 yards in distance and took few good swings way off line

we have had extremely wet conditions recently, but course was in very good condition with 3 holes with some sogginess, but were told of this by the starter.

Course is fairly new and not quite 100% finished, It is routed in a large arc through back of new home construction, so a good ride to the first tee and contruction infringes on the first and 18th tee paths.

Proshop is in back of sales office for the housing development,, so no real clubhouse amenities, but carts and ball washers are new and staff is very friendly and accomodating

Layout is decent, pretty tight routing but no holes interfering with others. Tee boxes are all in great shape and fairways for the most part are very good. Greens are , pretty flat and a bit slow, but in excellent condition.

Certainly will check it out again, whenever it gets above 10 C here

TOO EARLY

Bailed after 4 holes, There was a lot of rain in past few days and while this course normally drains well, it was a swamp today.

Always chancy this time of year in our area but i was surprised it was even open today.

However, in better conditions this is a fun enjoyable course which is easy to walk and typically with good pace of play. Just need a few dry days and will be back

RETURN TO WHIRLPOOL

I have not played this course in 11-12 years and my wife and I were looking for a late in the season outing and chose Niagara area due to the weather forecast, a Golfnow deal for the course and the fact we had enjoyed this course in the past.

Unfortunately the weather man was optimistic, never got above 8 C accompanied by a cold wind. We survived.

However, course was VERY wet due to heavy recent rains and carts were path only which stretched the round to 4 1/2 hours and we didn't wait on a tee after the 3rd hole.

it was the last open day here, so may be why they allowed us out at all. Many fairways and even a tee box were saturated with pools of water on surface and all bunkers were flooded.

My course condition of average is based on this, not really their issue, staff was very friendly and course has been in fine shape in past.

That notwithstanding course did not play as tight as in past, maybe because most of the leaves were off the trees, but i think a few trees may have been removed since my last round here. (not like I'm driving straighter!) Greens were wet but in good shape. Nice layout, with some scenic holes and saw some small deer beside one hole.

Best parts of the day were John and Bob, from Fort Erie, who were paired with us and some of the best company we have ever had on a round of golf. Very pleasant and patient, sorry if we slowed you guys up. John has game too!

Course is on next years play list; hoping for drier conditions.

Return to Mount Elgin

Played here last summer and enjoyed the layout but round was hampered by tournament on course and some slowness and rowdiness.

Nice peaceful day this year, we got paired with a nice gentleman from Hamilton, who had not played course before.

Layout is good, nice flow and nice mix of holes. There are 3 very tight driving holes and one has a tight second and third shot as well. Possible to play out of the trees in most cases, but hitting fairs is critical here to set up a good shot into the greens.
The greens here are very true, but also very fast away from the hole and all are sloped back to front and with heavy contours on most. Tap the ball and if you miss, expect a 3-4 footer coming back. Into slope or grain you need to putt firmly.

We had a big storm the night before and lots of leaves, debris and small branches down, but overall course was in good condition.

Good value on Golfnow and carts had GPS in them as well.

Will make this a yearly stop
