Bugs & fairways

Being situated amongst the Black River, there are lots of mosquitos. It could have been the weather as well as it rained the day before. BRING YOUR REPELLENT.

The course is an interesting layout. The greens are well done and the conditions of most of the fairways are nice. Make sure that you follow the signage between 2 and 3 and 7 and 8.

Improvements:
- Flatter tee boxes. Some of the tee boxes are crowned and/or not smooth. This will come with time through grooming.
- Flatter greens. Some greens are wavy, instead of having subtle breaks, but are otherwise really nice.
- Better defined fairways. This was my major gripe. It wasn't obvious where the fairway was vs. the rough. The fairway on #1 and #2 needs work in this respect. Some of the fairways in the back of the property are really nice - they just need some definition.
- Hole #4 could use some manicuring around the creek because there is a good chance you won't see where your ball lands - even if you hit the fairway.

Just - OK.

For a short muni course, the course is OK. There's nothing really fantastic about this place, but the course conditions are usually good. The unfortunate part is that they hardly ever have deals and because of that, there are usually better deals to be had elsewhere for courses that are longer and offer better bang for the buck. Still, if you can't travel far and are looking for a place in Richmond Hill, Bathurst Glen offers good conditions for the shorter hitter. However, personally I would rather drive a bit more and find a better deal on a longer course or pay significantly less to play a practice round on a less pristine course.
