There was a junior women’s tournament and the tee time I had was ambitious considering the pace of the tournament players which the course should have anticipated. Caught them quickly on the back nine and that ended my round.

Little rough around the edges but most are. For those who care about beverages we were visited 4 times.

lots of dead areas, most bunkers looked to be abandoned, a couple of low HC's I played with suggested they turn some bunkers into grass if they are not going to maintain them, they also took some free lifts out as some bunkers were nothing but hard packed clay.

One of the nicer small town courses. They had a ton of rain weeks ago but have the course in very nice condition and almost back to as good as I have ever seen it. The Hot Deal was an excellent value for this course.

Best way to describe the conditions is “neglected” in general, while the prices they charge for food and drink would have you think this is a premier course. Course appears to be in that downward spiral where they cut maintenance costs to save money but that just leads to less revenue in green fees. Everyone in our group agreed we wouldn’t be any rush to go back there and probably won’t this year.

Significant delay and very slow play 3.25 hours for front nine. We had to play the front twice to get 18 in.

It’s a challenging course with small sloped elevated and well protected greens plus the fairways are on the narrow side. My guess is this why the pace is quite slow. Over 2.5 hours for the front nine and the back nine is a bit more difficult.

Contrary to their radio ads stating they are Manitoba’s best kept secret, the real secret is how poor in condition their fairways are. Dry hard pan with very little grass. Greens were good but there are numerous courses with similar condition greens and way better fairways. To ad insult to injury the Marshall told us to conform to a 90 degree rule which made zero sense since there was not much grass to damage and the ground was so hard it could support a cement truck.

Good course to play on windier days offers a fair amount of protection.

Fairways are nice, rough is thick like it’s supposed to be and the greens are above average for MB.
