Picturesque Course in Fall Colours

Have played this course several times in past 5 years. Always a fall favourite when leaves are in full colour. Course in excellent condition. Staff do a great job. Suitable for all skill levels with wide choice of tee locations.

Hi Stanley. Thanks for coming to play our course yesterday. The course is in excellent condition. We aerated in early September and we are so glad we did as the greens healed very quickly and now they are back to their usual pristine conditions. There are still a few weeks left in the season so hopefully we see you out again. Take care.

Has potential .Still needs work

Have played this course many times in the last few years and find it excellent value for the beginner and casual golfer. My wife and I take advantage of excellent prices and discounts offered through Golf Now.
Course has always suffered from shortage of maintenance and need for repair of some greens and bunkers, etc.Setbacks from 2 years of spring flooding have been slow to repair.. Notwithstanding these issues we still enjoy playing here especially considering the reasonsble cost. Staff is always helpful and provide excellent service considering the facilities that they have.. Hopefully more golfers will allow more resources to be put toward the repairs and maintenance that will make it more attractive . Give it a try! If you limit your expectations you can't go wrong for the price.

Course Still needs a lot of work

This was our fourth round this year and conditions have improved only slightly from the first . The course was virtually deserted the day that we played.
Terrible spring flooding caused major damage to the course and restoration is extremely slow. One hole remains completely closed, Several others have temporary tee boxes and/or no green surfaces available to play. One creek crossing bridge is impassable.
It appears that management may have given up on restoring the course.for this year as we saw no groundskeeper activity anywhere on the course all day long. Conditions over the last few years have always been below average , but this year's flooding has set things back even further., Our earlier reviews of this course were "hopeful" that management efforts would lead to improvements . That doesn't appear to be happening.
Fortunately we paid nowhere near regular green free price and we did play every available hole.
Bottom line if you play here this year, your expectations should be very low , as should the fee that you pay.
Hopefully things will improve in the future,.... if there is a future for this golf course.

Good value,but course needs work after tough spring

Only 10 holes open due to winter/spring flood damage. Staff are trying hard to bring it back.
Still had a good day as remaing greens and fairways in decent condition.
Good value at the price we paid with cart.
Staff very helpful and pleasant.
Good coursefor beginners , senior golfers and others who just want to play an unpretentious course.
Very enjoyable day . Best wishes to staff doing what they can to upgrade the facility.

Good value,but course needs work after tough spring

This course has suffered a tough winter and very wet spring. Greens show much winter kill and fairways are waterlogged. Still, staff have done a good job to make it somewhat playable.
Green fees are reasonable and layout is suited to all skill levels. When things dry up and if maintenance crews can bring things back this course will be near the top of our list to play again.

Staff are great,playing members not so much

The course conditions have suffered due to a long hard winter and wet spring. . Some temporary greens and poorly drained fairways.
Starter and marshall were very helpful and pleasant but same cannot be said for a foursome of members behind us who teed off before we were out of range and landed ball wthin a few yards of our approach. No need for this as course was very quiet and we were intent on allowing them to play through at next hole. Very rude and no apology as we waved them through. Unfortunately this is not the first time that we have experienced this kind of poor etiquette from members at this course. Will probably avoid playing here again not because of the course but because of our poor experiences with other players.

Good Course , Good Value

Had a fun early season round . Course was a bit wet and greens have received some winter kill, but overall it shows potential for a good golf season. Great for beginners but challenging enough for more skilled players. Golf Now price with cart was a bargain . Will definitely play again later in the season.

Unexciting "suburban-elitist" golf club

Have played Cedarhill hundreds of times over 50 years of living in the area. Unfortunately ,the estate residential growth around it has crowded out what used to be a picturesque and fun-to-play rural course and from our experience it appears to have become another "elitist", members-only-welcome environment . Staff are reasonably pleasant, but the membership we encountered does not appear to welcome even senior green-fee, recreational golfer clients like us .
Due to the weather, the course was extremely quiet and appeared to offer a good opportunity for my mobility-challenged partner to join me in a game. Unfortunately the very few " club members" who we encountered on the course and in the parking lot made us feel rather unwelcome. My wife and I were in fact specifically warned by the starter that participants in the club's "men's night" were habitually intolerant of slow play. After we teed-off, following directions of the starter, we were chased-down by two members who accused us of not "checking-in" with the pro shop. (we had our receipt and Golf Now confirmation)... Not a pleasant start. Our own pace of play was slow, but fortunately, due to the weather we encountered only one group that we promptly allowed to play-through without any delay. Our discomfort with the club environment meant that we did not attend clubhouse facilities after our game.
The course is nothing special and, with the notable exception of the lady marshal on the back nine, members that we encountered are not welcoming of visitors. Won't be playing here anytime soon and any consideration of future membership is over.

Fine Course

Played on a beautiful fall mid week day. Course in exceptional condition . Only annoyance was greenskeepers operating power leaf blowers on several holes . Not prepared to stop to allow us to play shots.
Fine practice range. Great layout for intermediate to high skilled players.
Hot Deal price makes it a high end golf bargain.

Good deal or the average hacker. Has potential to be better.

Have played this course several times this season due to the very reasonable cost and suitability for myself, a mid handicapper, and my golf partner/ wife , a beginner. Conditions are now (in mid-August) the best they have been following a very wet spring and early summer when conditions were very difficult.
Greens have some bald spots, and the sand bunkers are completely neglected and weed infested. At present this is not a course for the discriminating golfer, but for an average hacker it is a good deal offering a decent challenge. Very few golfers on course on the beautiful Monday that we played. With more customers, perhaps management would have the resources to improve course and clubhouse conditions. It wouldn't take much to bring this facility up to a much higher standard that would make it a better place to play.

course is decent, clubhouse needs work.

The groundskeepers are doing a very good job trying to keep this course in decent condition for play in the face of record rainfalls that are limiting access to much of the property.
For the Golf Now price it is a good deal. Clubhouse facilities are very tired ,so don't go for the postgame activities and clubhouse ambiance.
For a decent round of play at a very affordable price, it's worth the drive.

Course and clubhouse under renovation

Played this course last year and found it to be gradually improving. It apppears that new ownership is doing their best to bring the facility back from a lengthy demìse.
layout is generally good and has potential to be a pretty good course . Conditions were decent considering the record wet spring.
With continued work this spring and summer this could be a very good golfing option close to the City. Irrigation will be very important if conditions are dry.Price is a bargain. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Good short game practice facility

This is not really a "golf course" for seasoned golfers to enjoy a round , but more of a quality practice facilty.
Good for beginners learning the game or to practice pitching and putting for more experienced players. Beware that you may have to be patient with beginners and slower players . This appears to be a popular and appropriate venue for this category of player.

Fairways and greens are well maintained.
