We played Hy-Hope today and enjoyed the cool weather. The greens were surprisingly fast. The tee boxes are under repair so a few holes played short.
It is a great short iron warmup course.
All of the holes have their quirks and potential for difficulty.
Since I finished the game with the ball I started with, it was an alright 2 hours and 45 minutes.

After a short frost delay, we set out, the wife and I walking across the frozen tundra and occasionally pausing to smack a snowball masquerading as a golf ball. Putting on the frosty green produced golf balls too large to fit in the cup with the flag in. Perhaps better chipping would have produced shorter putts. As the day warmed up, so did our playing and a 6 hole run of pars in Ontario on December 11, is a great feeling. On the 9th hole, my wife skipped her tee shot off the ice covered pond to 5 feet from the hole. Sinking her putt, she said it was her best birdie this year.
The course was great, greens were slow and consistent, tee and fairway markers absent but we still played as far back in the tee boxes as the good grass allowed.
We will return when they open next year.

My wife and I were the only ones on the course with the exception of two other lonesome golfers. The course conditions were the best I've seen in the last three months. The front nine we finished in 90 minutes and we took our time on the North nine finding balls and enjoying the game again. I was eight over for the 18 so for me it was especially good day.
We played the blue tease and the tea boxes were in good shape. The greens were slow but in better condition than 2 months ago some of the fairways had been a rated and I'm looking forward to the course conditions next year, they should be quite good.

An amazing time at Simoro golf course today, I was late and missed my tee time so for the fifteen minutes wait until another twosome arrived, we were given a bucket of balls on the range beside hole 1.
Great staff, every hole is interesting with water somewhere on most of them.
3 1/2 hour round and made some new friends.
Greens consistently fast
I will book again.

My wife and I had an early tea time. We started off behind one threesome and kept up with them quite easily. Some of the holes were badly soiled by goose poop and I can't help but think that the poop could be collected and used as fertilizer in some of the tea boxes that are quite worn out. All in all we completed 18 in four and a half hours walking. The next time we are in the area will try the other municipal course in Troy.

My wife and I played East and West courses. Neither of us lost a ball. The rough has been cut short enough to muscle the ball with an iron. Greens were consistent and the whole course was in great November shape. Also quite walkable. A great day.

My wife and I played this course on a cool day with snow filling the low areas. Greens were in excellent condition and fast. The leaves had been blown away and the playing areas were clear.
There were only 5 intrepid golfers out there and there were 4 to 5 holes between us.

My wife and I played this course half a dozen times this year and we don't understand the bad reviews we've read. This is a surprisingly challenging course with the four significantly elevated T's and the water hazards IE River that are in play on several holes.
File the greens were not in the best shape we've seen, they were consistent. We always try to tee off first thing in the morning so pace of play is not an issue and we usually finish the 18 in 3 and 1/2 hours.
After 2020 this course is going to become part of the casino resort and I am disappointed that I won't be playing it again. It was a lot of fun and it did offer some good challenges for me. I always play the blue tees and I was able to break 80 twice this year.

My wife and I played this gem of a course today. She played the whites and I played the blues. The greens were all in reasonable shape for nearing the end of the year. The tee areas looked like Scottish Highlands' tees. The fairways were workable and I was able to take some fine divots.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly.
I walked the course while my wife drove the cart.
The first tee on the North course is 900 metres from the pro shop, so be prepared to hike.
The course is not difficult but one or two holes with elevation changes could add to your score. I shot a 79 with two double bogeys and if I had paid attention to club selection could have had a 76.
I highly recommend it and will play it again before the end of the year.

Hy-Hope golf course ws a nice surprise.
The green and tee conditions were good, fairways well cut and bunkers raked.
With no long holes and no waiting on the tees we completed 2 rounds of 18 in 5 hours using most of my clubs.
I will do it again
