Nice Course Great Pace

To find a Hot Deal on GolfNow including a cart is a bonus now. A great price to play a nice course was a treat. Well named; we played in a 30 km wind. Conditions were great. Greens were true. Traps were filled.. Fairways were immaculate. Haven’t played here in years, but the course was in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. Recommend it to everyone if you’re looking for a four hour round. Pace of play was great. No holdups. We were joined with a couple of super guys. They played blue tees. Us whites. If you’re not a long hitter, be sensible. We’ll be back some time in the future. These days we have to be cost conscious. Maybe other courses will take note and include carts in their Hot Deals.

Great Value

Have played here yearly since it opened to the public as a nine hole course. A good test, and wicked good Hot Deal. Where else can you play on a weekend for $45 with a cart? Following a tournament and club championship slowed pace of play tremendously on the back nine. Nevertheless we will be back.

Price Reduction

Our foursome arrived to a near empty parking lot., Why? Because their regular rate is too high. Even with a Hot Deal we paid $50. This is a $40 w/cart max. course. Even with all the rain we’ve had the fairways were burnt. Though last time I was here, 20 years ago, it was in pretty rugged condition.

Rough

Haven’t played here in years. I found the course to be in rough shape. Greens were slow. Fairways and rough could have been cut a bit. Maybe the grass is growing that fast due to all the rain we’ve had. A good “Hot Deal.” I’d never pay their regular price.

Quick round

On a cool gloomy day it only took us less than 2 1/2 hours to play with no one in front or behind. Course was in great shape, as usual. Len in the pro shop let us out early before our tee time, and it was so quiet offered us another nine if we wanted. We’ll be back for sure.

Long overdue return

Haven’t played here in over 30 years and was pleasantly surprised with the course. It’s in great shape. Quick greens on the front. Not as fast on the back. No water hazards to worry about. Would definitely return again. One thing I’d reccomend to the course, and that’s having more visible 100-150-200 yardage markers. The tiles they have are in the ground, and hard to see. Should be more curved above ground.

What a Deal

With a Hot Deal, I paid $50 w/cart, saving $20 on regular rates. 4 hours to play. Best maintained course, I’ve played this year. Wickedly fast greens. Put it on your bucket list.

First Time Playing

Nice

First time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. Was early for our tee time so they let us go right away. Didn’t think it was too tough though it’s an equal mix of par-3s, 4s, and 5s. I think it’s three par 5s in the first 7 holes. Greens were quick. I’d come back here and play again. I can buy back the half dozen balls I lost. Bad round today.

A beautiful day

Starter was sharp and shuffled groups together. Moved us up one start time and joined us up with a super nice couple. He played black tees. The lady and ourselves played whites. Round took four hours. We never caught up to anyone and the twosome behind us never had to wait for us. Great pace of play. Beautiful sunny day and the cart girl made the rounds often enough. With a Hot Deal we paid $48. The same price the couple paid to walk with a pull cart. Need a few good rains to green the fairways up a bit.

A quick round

After a heavy rain the day before, a few holes were soggy. Not a problem. Nobody in front or behind us the whole round. It took 3 hours to play, even with a quick stop after nine. Not a tough course. It’s fun, but I’d never play full price.

Quirky

My second time playing this course and didn’t remember the layout. Too many blind shots to greens. But it’s a weird challenge. I’ll likely come back some time in the future and try it again.

A quick 18

Course was damp after thunderstorm the night before, which made it a lot longer. Played Moors to Goose Run. Thank goodness they cut the rough down from years ago, or I’d have lost a lot more balls than I did. Great course that I played awful. I’ll be back for revenge. It was a holiday weekend and only took my partner and myself only 3 1/2 hours to play.

Rough Outing

We hadn't played here in 20 years, and thought we'd give it another shot.
This isn't too tough a course, but it's in rough shape. Tee areas are chewed up in the shade where grass won't grow again.. Greens, though small, were in immaculate shape, and fastest we've played on this year. When we reached the 12th hole there was 6 carts on the hole scattered along its length, with another 4 on the tee. We had waited on every hole a minimum of 5 minutes. We had enough. Never again.

Get by the first two holes

The first two holes will determine how the rest of your day will go. Start you out with a tough par 4. Out of bounds left. Large pond right. Then par 5 2nd hole. Any drive to left and you're blocked cutting the dogleg. Sloped away green makes it tough to chip it close. The rest is a good test. Enjoy

A Gem

This is a gorgeous course in the middle of Kitchener. Not long, but greens are slick. Immaculate conditions.
Starter noticed group in front of us took extremely long time to play first hole, and had an assistant give them a warning. No problem with pace of play after that. Kudos. Only complaint - a few bunkers could have used more sand, but I guess it is the end of the season shortly. Maybe next year.

Best Conditions

Best conditioned course I've played this year. Greens lightening fast and true. Fairways pristine. Long enough off the white tees. Paid $40 w/cart - what a steal.

A Little Rough

Played this course every year in a tournament in the 70's and 80's. Conditions are way worse now. Not a bad place for beginners or seniors. Not long and fairly wide open. They teamed us up with others, one of which was late by 15 minutes. We should have been able to go on our own, with no one else behind us. But not the case. I'm sure we won't be back here.

Twilight Value

Prepaid "Hot Deal", combined with twilight cart rates made play affordable for under $30 total. Wish other courses would do the same.

Good Test

A good test from the green tees for the average golfer. Don't use either back tees unless you can drive the ball long and can hit long irons. No bunkers. Just thick grass bunkers. Great condition and true greens.

Tough around greens

Not long from whites. Firm, sloping greens. Rugged around the greens. Makes for a long day if your chipping isn't on.
