Guys, Heading down to the area in 1 weeks time and will have time to play 2 rounds of golf down there. I would like to know recommendations on 2 nice/worth playing courses. Considering I'm only playing 2 rounds I want to play them on nice course. The rate as to be under 100$/rd other than...

Went out golfing today, what a day, sunny, warm, slight frost delay, tee off at 10:30, done by 3:00. Nice easy round, didn't play particularly well but it didn't really matter, so beautiful just to be out playing when the weather is great with some decent guy's. As far as Canada goes its pretty...

Well I hate to rub it in guys (and at the same time I don't haha) But I will be on the tee in Myrtle in just 9 more days!! Can't wait.. Anyone else going golfing soon?

**added more pics, including plaque and book! Best golf experience ever so far, we played from the whites the first round and the blues the second round. I hit a lot of fairways for some reason, darn Callaway driver worked well for me. brother in law and myself drove the green on 13 (thx tiger...

I normally head to the warm California desert every year for anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks of glorious golfing but unfortunately this year I won't be going. :( So I am going to be SADistic :-) and find out where everyone else is going to be for the winter! What are your plans for winter...

Hi folks, I'm thinking of going south for a week or so around Xmas time and get some golfing in, and one of the ideas was to go to a golf school instead of just playing golf. I'm looking for something that would have some instruction along with some actual golf played. I've stumbled upon...

I am a retired senior divorced lady. I would like to spend some of the colder months ( January, February) somewhere warm, where I could play some golf, and enjoy other activities. I would love to rent a place, but can't afford it on my own. I am hoping to meet someone and get to know them a bit...

Hey guys---all is good in central Florida----golf is basically same price as last year---clothing up a little but any hardware balls etc are more expensive down here ---big time. The drive down was a piece of cake---missed the snow storm by `just that much` :-) All the best.

Thought I'd make a thread as I know lots of us wont just sit around dreaming of golf this winter and take it into our own hands to go on a vacation and include golf. Or should I say go golfing and make it a vacation!? Either way if a spot you know is good let others know and if you find a deal let...

Greetings, What is the golf like in and around Windsor in early April ? I'm in the Ottawa region and I'm looking to get a head start to my season. Season here usually starts first couple of weeks in April but conditions are also usually pretty wet/soggy. Any course suggestions ? ...

Anyone ever been there for a golf weekend. Thinking Easter....I know Myrtle is better but this seems cheaper and a lot closer...thoughts???

I am heading out tomorrow to Virginia. We are playing Kingsmill ( river course ), Brickshire, Royal New Kent, Golden Horseshoe ( I hope to have one the whole trip ), and Stonehouse.... Should be a good time..... I will post my experience upon return, rates are good though we are playing all...

We all love T.O...don't we?

If anyone is heading down to Lake Placid for some golf avoid this course, they had a really tough winter and all their greens were hit hard. We played this weekend and it was in rough shape - basically, no greens, just some painted dirt. It was too bad really because the layout was decent. ...

OK all, this year's golf trip with the Mrs (I golf, she goes to the spa) was to the site of the 2010 PGA Championship, Whistling Straits. We were just there over Thanksgiving weekend, so here is the summary. More specifically, we stayed at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin and I played all...

The wife is turning 40 in June and was thinking of taking her away for a weekend to relax, play a round and hit the pints. My first thought was Mont Tremblant but we have been there a number of times so second choice was Lake Placid. Can anyone suggest a spot that is driveable on a Friday...

My better half and I are thinking of taking a short 1 or 2 night "golf" trip somewhere within 3 hours of Ottawa. Not Tremblant. Any suggestions? If there was other things to do there other than golf that would be good too for a few brownie points :-)

SO any help would be great... I convinced the wife that we should go to Florida next feb/march for 2 weeks vacation , but we've never been , so i'm looking for suggestions for areas , districts , etc , that would suit for golf , beaches , attractions etc. Also if anyone has any info regarding...

Next time I am in Phoenix, I will start looking for golf clubs. Since I will be there at least a couple times a year now, and in retirement, there for several months a year, I think it would be a good time to buy. Does anyone have any suggestions about where to get a good deal on clubs? ...

My cousin lines in Sanfran so I can stay there for free and play everyday for 7 days so my cost would be the flight and the golf. I went to ORL last year and loved it. I heard arizona is good but bloody exensive. Any ideas for a good cheap golf vacation? I wanted to go to myrtle beach but I...

Heading to Las Vegas in June on a conference. I will need to rent clubs or find a place that allows for Demos to be taken out. Looking for courses to play that are close to Ceasar's Palace. Any suggestions?

Hey all I ask that those of us in our area tell about their favourite or most played track. Then we can try to get out to play there and give some feedback. Thats if it ever stops snowing!!!:reallymad I'll start. Mine is............Saw Whet Golf Club in Oakville--6530 yards from the Blues...

??? i can't find any courses :(

I was trying to figure out what to do post cruise in Fort Lauderdale and it appears that I'll be about 30 minutes away from Doral. Not a huge fan of watching people play golf, but the WGC events usually have a decent field, so I might grab a ticket if I can find one cheap. Just wondering if...

Westminster Trails, just south of London is now open for play.

I better put a plug in for my home course. I have been a member at Westminster Trails for 4 years now and really enjoy the people there and the course. This course is a Links Style course, wide open, fescue grass comes into play. Water comes into play on 5 holes. There is even an short Par 3 with...

Posting this so you know, if you happen to be playing The Trails next week. Greens will be areated starting either Monday Sept 25 or Tuesday Sept 26. Now Rob & his crew do a great job so you will not be putting on crappy greens if you go. By the end of the week you won't notice that they have been...

Hey guys, Anyone golf in west virgina before? if so.. any experience with Oglebay resort? I'm headed there in April to avoid spring rounds in ottawa with frost delays and fairway lakes! :laughing:

Hi all: Any good courses you guys would recommend for a weekend get away trip from Ottawa? Somewere within approx 2 hours drive one way? Looking at Smuggler Glen after hearing all the good review on the course condition but just want to see if there are other places that have a bit more to do...

OK enough RAIN, we are going to need arks down here pretty soon! Every other day it rains, and it is raining again today. Courses are so soggy down here there is no roll at all in the fairways. Casual water every where on my home course. I am glad I did not fall fertilize otherwise I would be...

I never thought I would say this, but this area of Ontario needs rain. Hard to fathom that rain would be called for at this time of year in Southwestern Ontario. But the grass is not going to green up without a nice warm rain. The greens at my home course need rain asap. Irrigation pumps are going...

I may not have all the info needed to say this but here goes anyway. This is our fourth trip to the Hiltonhead area and Myrtle. I have played about 60 games in total on about 40 different courses from beginning of Feb to the end of March. :-) Over a four year period :rolleyes What can you...

After a fairly nice week weather wise in southern Ontario we get clobbered with rain and snow from Friday afternoon til now (6PM) Towards Sarnia there is close to 3 inches of wet snow on the ground. My area south of London has enough to show on the grass. Here is the photo from the radar loop out...

My brother has asked me to play in a golf tournament with him in June at these two Toronto area courses. He's from Maine and knows nothing about the course and neither do I. There's no doubt in my mind that the denizens of this site can give us a sense of what we might be in for. Are these good...

Well back from my vacation down to Collingwood and got a round in last Thursday at Wasaga Sands. It was in great shape and the greens were smooth. Can't wait to get back and try to better the score.

Now this came from a guy I work with, but he drove past Wardsville Golf Club which is located on #2 Highway at Wardsville and he said the flags were in and the parking lot was full on April 1. Good news for anyone in this area of the province. Other courses will surely follow this week as long as...

Hey All, just emailed the pro Marcus , Will let you all know when opening date is!! Prices are good and easy to get to ,just off Interstate I-81. from Kemptville 3.25 hours door to door.!

Just back from Maui. Wailea courses are beautiful. Seahorse Swing Pass provides unlimited golf for any three days for $495. You can book the first round for each day weeks in advance. I had no trouble getting on for a second round each day. A local rental place had taller clubs for a leftie....

My wife and I will be in the Ottawa area for a few days and will be looking to do a quick 9 holes on Tuesday morning. Can anyone suggest a nice course. Nothing thats overly difficult to play but is nice to play. Can be in Ottawa or anywhere on the way back towards Toronto (ie: brockville)

First time in the Yucatan. Will have a car so would appreciate any suggestions within an hour drive from Merida. Thanks,Dave

Just got back from a quick trip to Virginia last weekend for some golf. Played private courses, but there was lots of public courses open, and according to the member I played with, the courses are open year round. Drove down Thursday night to Haymarket, about 9.5 hours, stayed at the Four...
