Pace of Play

Pace of play was terrible. After the first 2 holes, we had to wait for 5 to 7 minutes at each hole. The par 3 holes were much worse. There were 2 groups stuck waiting for tee off. It made the game very boring and tiresome.

Pace of Play

Pace of play was terrible. I played at this course frequently. Pace of play has always been not ideal, however, the game on Sep 17th was the worst. I had to wait at every hole for 5 to 10 minutes. Starting from the 7th hole, there were at least 2 groups stuck waiting. At the 11th hole, the marshall drove by but the situation did not improve. It took 5.5 hours to finish the game which is unacceptable.

Why is there no tall tree in the course? Need to have access to toilets at hole #9

Tall and big trees are needed in this course. Sometimes it is really very hot and shades would help, especially because most of the holes are cart path only. Walking back and forth each hole in the heat makes it difficult to have energy to play.
Need to have at least one more toilet in the course. It's difficult to hold until we reach hole #13.

Portable toilets

The portable toilets at hole #9 are filthy. Saw a couple of people opened the doors and took a look inside, then walked away with disgust. It would help if there're more portable toilets spread out at other holes because sometimes people just have to go and can't wait for that long.

Why is there no tall tree in the course?

I have been playing at this course for quite a few years. I don't understand why there is no big tall tree in this course. The course layout is great and beautiful, however, when the pace is slow, it would be nice to find shades under tall big trees to hide from the hot sun, especially in the afternoon. It is very hot at times. Why is there no big tall tree here?
We often have to wait for 2 to 3 minutes at each hole so having trees would help to avoid the burning sun sometimes.

We had to wait for 2 to 5 minutes at each hole which made the game not enjoyable. The course was in good condition so if the pace of play could be improved, it would have been a much more enjoyable round.

Golf Cart Crash

I was playing the Valley course. I forgot what hole it was, it was the par 3 hole that is in the valley and I hit from the top of the hill. After the tee shot, I drove down the steep hill which was a bit damp although it was not raining. I was driving slowly because of the steepness of the hill. In mid way, the cart lost control and managed to steer it to head towards the trees before it crashed into the trees. I was thrown out of the cart and got a deep cut on my leg and many bruises. My friends who were driving their own carts also felt that the carts were skidding although they were able to control it in time. I suggest you to check the tires of the carts to ensure that they are fit for the dampness on a steep hill. I've been playing at this course for a few years, and this is the first time I had this accident. Safety is important for your golfers. Please look into it asap.

Green fee too high

Been playing here for years. The green fee has become too high. It used to be around $45 after 3:00 pm. It has become too expensive to play at this course.

Holes location switch & Washroom

The hole #1 and #10 switched caused some confusions for finding the next hole, especially for finding hole #11 after finished hole #10. Several groups of golfers drove around to find the correct holes. Proper signs should be placed to guide people to the correct holes.
The washroom between hole #1 and hole #10 was shutdown which was very inconvenient. The portable is not as clean and the water for hand washing is too weak to clean the hands probably.
The fee is too high compared to what we used to pay. I have been playing for over 12 years. The green fee at this level allows us to have a lot more choices in the area. We will not come as often as we used to as in the past 12 years.

Pace of Play

Hole #1 to 9 were fine. Started from hole #10, we have to wait for at 8 to 15 minutes per hole. Most of the time, at least 2 teams were waiting to tee off. At hole #13, we reported the situation to the pro shop. The marshal came and told us that it's packed all the way from hole #10 to 18 so it is normal and not any team playing slowly. We were shocked and angry to hear the answer. This means that Rolling Hills purposely overbooked so many teams and caused the 8 to 15 minutes wait at each hole!!! Two of my foursome was so sick of the wait that they left at hole #14. This is really ridiculous! I cannot believe this is happening during the pandemic when the course should make sure that the distance between each team is long enough to be safe. I'm so disappointed with Rolling Hills. I've played at all courses at Rolling Hills for over 10 years on every weekend and sometimes even weekends too. This is unacceptable!!

Hi Ktl682. Thanks for taking the time to review your recent experience. We reviewed our pace of play on the Classic course for yesterday, and confirmed our pace of play was 3 hours and 30 minutes. That is out time par for our course but do see our front 9 was timed at 1 hour 30 minutes and the back 9 at 1 hour 50 minutes, so understand the back 9 would have had some additional waits in comparison. As part of our COVID precautions, we have increased our spacing between tee times and that spacing has not changes since we opened for the 2020 season.

As a loyal golfer at our courses, I am happy to look at your exact tee times and ensure we accommodate appropriately and book you for your next round in the best spot for a quick round. Please email us at playersclub@clublink.ca.

Pace of play

Due to the weather, the course was bone dry. 2 weeks ago when my group was 2 minutes behind the pace, we got a lecture from the marshal when there was no group behind us.
This round, the twosome in front of us played through the foursome in front of them. We became the group behind the foursome. We had to wait for 5 to 10 minutes at each hole after hole #3. There was no marshal in sight and we had to suffered through the rest of the game.

Pace of Play

The tee times should be farther apart so that the wait time can be shortened. We had to wait for 2 to 5 minutes at each hole after the hole #2.
People should be allowed to use the real bathroom. Other courses I played still opened the real bathrooms for use.

Double booked

My tee time was double booked and I had to show confirmation for them to add me back in. It was so frustrating. I guess the double booking was serious because there were at least 20 people waiting to tee off. We ended up being delayed for half an hour. Due to the late start, the sun set at the 17th hole and we could not finish the game!

Hi ktl682. I am sorry to hear of your technology obstacles when booking. We would love to hear which booking system you used so we can ensure no future issues arise.

There was a frost day the day of your round which accounted for the 30 minute delay off the tee - when that happens it is frequent for all golfers to stay at the tee to get out ASAP. Unfortunately we can't control the amount of frost this late into the season.

Please email us at playersclub@clublink.ca to look into your booking further for any solutions we can provide for your next visit. Thanks, and hope to see you soon.

Overbooked

The tee times were very over sold. We have to wait for 5 to 10 minutes at each hole. Some of the holes ended up having several groups waiting to tee off and the lines were long. It was very uncomfortable to play under this situation. It was very tiring to wait for so long, the game became very boring. I won't recommend this course.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Mayfield Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Very Old Cart

Most of the carts were too old and they should not be used. We had a cart that wouldn't move after each stop. We had to try multiple times and pushed it several times. The phone number to the pro shop is permanently forwarded to voicemail so we were not able to get any help. We finally ran into a marshal. He tested it and asked us to be patient and keep trying. He came back after 5 to 6 holes to check on us which was very nice of him. Although it was painful, the cart worked until the end of the game.
We played at this course very often, and this is not the first time we got a dying cart. We had the cart replaced several times in several games.

pace of play and bathroom

Pace of play is acceptable. Early morning tee times seemed to have a better control on pace of play. All afternoon games I've played this year have been very slow, and the wait time could be as long as 15 minutes, especially for those par 3 holes. Some friends got fed up and refused to come again.
Bathroom is still an issue. The only portable bathroom on hole #4 has been removed for a few years. I have not seen any bathroom on the course.

Hi ktl682. Thanks for the positive review.

Due to some circumstances, we have our washroom located at the turn, available before you move to the back nine. We certainly promote the morning tee times for the fastest pace of play for the day.

We appreciate the comments, and hope to see you back again soon.

Pace of play

The pace of play was terrible, especially on the back 9. We waited for 5 to 10 minutes per hole. For whole #17, the delay was the worst, 3 groups sat there for 25 minutes to wait for their turn to play. We have lost interest and the rest of the game became so not interesting any more. I understand getting more people to play is necessary for your business, but you should not sacrifice your customer's game. It will become bad reputation for your course.

Pace of Play

The pace of play was terrible. We waited from 5 to 15 minutes each hole, the back nine was worse than the front 9. Marshall said that there's nothing he could do about it. It took 5.5 hours to play the round, really tiring to wait like that. Need to control the traffic better.

Lack of Trees

This course is challenging but not too difficult. The layout is good. The distance between each hole is a steep hill to climb which is a good workout. The only thing missing is trees. There is no tree on the course which makes it very hot because there's nowhere to hide under while you wait for your turn. I got sun burn even playing in the morning.

Overall, the course is in great condition and it is beautiful.

I have played at this course many times. The biggest concern is there's no bathroom on the course. The second concern is there are rude players who picked up or played other groups' balls and denied it.
