Windancer

I've played in this course quite a few times, but it's never boring probably becuz it's not an easy, bland course. The fairways and greens were in good condition as usual, which is amazing in this dry season. The starter was friendly as ever while the pro shop staff was a little jagged as ever. It's about an hour's drive from my place, but it's worth the travel.

I haven't played here for the past 2 years and wonder what has happened to this reputable course. More than anything else, the greens were terribly damaged. It looked like they were attacked by plant cancer or something. To make it worse, they were aerated, which made putting a bumpy ride. I realized what putting means to golf...

I play here just once in a while becuz of the distance from my place, but I strongly recommend this course to anyone for its overall lay-out and condition. Some holes are too close to each other, making the access a little awkward, but you wouldn't find it a big issue. Staff could be more helpful and friendlier, though.

I've played here dozens of times, and the course is pretty enjoyable even though the hilly roughs are quite nasty and annoying. I had a couple range ball coins left that I bought from the course last year, but their new ball dispensing machine was not compatible. I went back to the pro shop to exchange them with new coins, but the staff who checked us in refused without giving any acceptable reasons. Since there was a heavy shower of rain after Hole 1, "cart path only" policy was announced. After the front 9, one of us began to have a problem in his knees becuz he has a minor disability. (Before we started our round, he asked for a handicap flag, but the staff refused and said "No exception.") We went back to the pro shop and asked for 9-hole rainchecks, but the same staff refused, saying it's becuz "Golfnow doesn't pay us anything for hot deals and you're on a hot deal." He told me to contact Golfnow to get rainchecks. Thanks to him, I came to know that Golfnow hot deals are free rounds given by the participating courses. Is that why many courses are not very friendly to golfers on Golfnow hot deals? I'll never go back to Braeben, bar none!

The pictures posted on the website of the course were not very convincing, but the reality was amazing. Except the first couple of holes (Red Course), it was WOW! I never felt bored while playing Red Course and Blue Course. The best thing was the greens that were so well-maintained, firm, neat, and challenging. There was a major construction and renovation work under way, and I guess this course will be even better soon.

It took me about 1.5 hr from Oakville to this awesome course, which is why I can't play here as frequently as I want, but it was worth the travel. Every hole was unique and kind of challenging, the fairways and greens were just perfect except a few spots, and the overall environment was pleasing. The experience was like finding a hidden gem!

The distance to this course from my home is about 110km, but the drive paid off. I loved the course, the surroundings (farms and orchards), and the people I met there. I even loved the drive. It's not a top-notch course, I'd say, but the fairways, greens, and overall balance were just amazingly enjoyable!

I just wanted to experience a new course and didn't have high expectations, but this course turned out to be a sweet surprise for the money I spent. Virtually every hole was different, the fairway was pretty fair, the green was firm enough, and the layout was really attractive. It is a nice course, snug in a pretty and peaceful countryside making me feel refreshed!

It was my first time to play here, but I don't hesitate to recommend this links (The Heron) for its good value. The greens were firm and neat, the overall layout was good, but the fairways were kind of too thin. Another funny thing was a "shared green" by which I mean a long, single green with two holes. First-time players should be cautious at Hole 2. If you see other players around your green, they're actually putting on that shared green.

I live close to the course, but it was the very first time I played there. It is a good course, but I don't think it's good enough to hold international events like Canadian Open. The front 9 holes were a little boring, some renovation was going on at some of the back 9, and the rough was pretty thick. It was like a pre-season partial open house, which was why the deal was so great. Not worth for their regular fees, definitely.

It was very first time I played here in Bond Head and had no idea about the differences between South Course and North Course. I played in the North which seemed to be way more challenging than the South. I felt I was riding a roller coaster all the way until I finally got out of that small tunnel. Honestly, I didn't enjoy the game very much. Next time I have a chance to enjoy a good deal, I sure will try the South Course. This course would be pretty enjoyable for adventurers, though.

It was my very first time to play here, but I felt comfortable all along. Fallen leaves, as anywhere else, tried to hide my ball and waste my time, but the fairways more than anything else were in a very good condition. It's not a fancy course, but a very approachable and friendly one, definitely.

It was pretty chilly and windy, but this course would be good for a one night getaway to the Falls. This is not the best time of year to play in this links course, especially as I heard from my golf buddies that it's always windy out there and a couple holes were under major construction. The green of hole 9 was being devastated by geese, but what can be done...

Overall, this course was pretty enjoyable, neat, and well-laid. The staff were friendly and efficient, the driving range was big enough, and that little island challenge on the way out of the final hole was cute. The only thing I found a little lame was that the fairways didn't look healthy. I have no idea what has damaged the grass like that, but they looked like pockmarked and had a lot of untreated divots. It could have been more enjoyable in summer, I guess.

We had to wait like 10-15 mins at every hole in the back 9 becuz of a small tournament going ahead, which was a brand new experience at this course, but, other than that, it was a good once-in-a-while getaway in the Niagara Falls area. I believe this is one of the best courses when you feel like going out of town and getting some different air.

I always wondered why this course was rated and priced pretty high compared to the other courses in the Niagara area, and I've ended up nodding. The course was immaculate except a few spots. The fairways were literally fair, the greens were real, and the overall lay-out was almost perfect. The only con may be that the front 9 were a bit boring. I'll be out there again very soon, I guess.

They obviously have dropped their green fees, which seems to work all right becuz there was a little back-up. This course is famous for those "death valleys" or "black holes" located here and there, which is why it's rated as "one of the toughest courses" in Canada. You don't have to be a slugger to play here, though. Don't look down, just keep your rhythm, and you can enjoy a very unique round.

It was one of those perfect days for golf, but the course was not in perfect conditions, probably because of drought and insufficient management. Overall, fairways were as hard as rock, cart path was obviously neglected, and the greens were just fair. I believe they've raised the green fee, but I don't think it's agreeable.

It was my first time to play in this reputable course, but it was just a great round considering everything. I felt like I was playing two different courses as the front 9 holes and the back 9 differed totally in every aspect. The fairways, greens, cart path, and even the rough were neat and well-maintained even though there were some parts that had obviously been damaged by the last brutal winter. And there were no rude or ill-mannered players! I believe this course would be perfect in summer.

We really enjoyed our round because there was no back-up at all even though we had a couple showers. Some fairways and greens were not recovered from the last cruel winter, but overall it was enjoyable. Personally I prefer their Masters Course, though, because it has more variety and looks more peaceful and neat. This course is not recommended for high handicappers.
