I am looking for some advice on what to expect with the weather in MB during the winter months. Would it be too cold in January or February? Does the price jump significantly in March? I have been there in mid November and we were lucky with around 20+ degree and sunny weather almost every...

Okay, I didn't know if I should put this in the Kingston or Toronto, so I'm just putting it in travel. I'm heading to Owen Sound this weekend, and I'd like to stop and play a round on the way. I don't have a price range, I just want to play a course that I normally wouldn't have a chance. It has to...

Well I can now say I have played golf in every month of the year in Southern Ontario. Played 9 holes today at a course in London. Nothing special but it was golf! Lots of rust in the swing, but had some good shots and made a few pars, not bad considering how wet and sloppy it was, and the greens...

I recently went on holiday to Fuerteventura ( canary islands ) spain. I stayed in an apartment just 5 mins away from probably the best Golf course ive ever played in my life. A Caleta golf course green fee was 60 euros for the 18 holes which i thought was great value for money.<?xml:namespace...

Have a business trip coming up to London and plan on taking a few extra days vacation when I'm there. This will be my second trip and will be spending some time at museums & pubs. (I'm supposed to meet up with a buddy who used to live in London and we're both history buffs. Have been to the...

I'm heading back to Victoria for school in a week's time. Was just wondering whether there was anybody else on here from Victoria. Would love to hook up for a round or two at some point during the year. Most of the people I know out there who golf quit for the year because they're not as...

Heading to Niagara Falls in two days. Can anyone comment on these two courses?

I might be playing here on the weekend. Has anyone played here? Is it worth it? http://www.thunderingwaters.com/main.html

I've only been on three golf holidays so my experience is limited. I was in BC, which was amazing, PEI, which was incredible and Myrtle Beach, where I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I'd love to hear what other great destinations are out there. Maybe find a "hidden Gem"

I had the pleasure of playing this course with my father-in-law a few weeks back, it's located just off Highway 115 about 15 mins. from Peterborough. The course is only 2 years old but the conditions were amazing. Very lush rough, beautiful fairways and the greens were nice also, although a few...

Heading down there next weekend for about 5 days. Does anyone have any golf course recommendations???

Greg Norman has designed the National as a classic American-style layout that rolls gently through 200 acres of southern woodlands and wetlands. The layout's key trait is diversity with wall-to-wall fairway bunkers running up along holes 12 through 16, three double doglegs, a massive double-green...

I had the pleasure of playing Indian Hill Golf Club yesterday. Indian Hills is located just north of Forest ON off Highway 21 on Lakeshore Road. This course has been lacking in upkeeping in the past, but no longer. The Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation purchased the nearby course...

Just got back from four days golfing in Killington, Vermont. Played at Green Mountain National and Killington Golf clubs. Green Mountain was very nice, comparable to Le Geante in Tremblant. Around here, maybe like a much nicer version of the Nation. Up in the Mountains, incredible scenery, and...

Just got back from Bermuda. Temperature was around 18 to 20 degrees all week and all the locals were wearing heavy jackets :-) I stayed at the Fairmont Southampton Hotel and played the par 3 executive course 7 times. $55 USD per round including power cart. A friend of mine works for Fairmont...

Anyone play Eagles Nest? I got out for the first time a few weeks back and loved it.

During the week of July 3-9 many local courses will be particapating in the "Take A Kid To The Course Week" This is an excellent time to introduce a young child to the game of golf. If you have time please make arrangements to take a young child golfing. The following link opens up a list of...

Any recommendations for restaurants, night life? Anything i should know about the golf down there? About the drive?

Ok guys some of you know I am out of commission due to that double by pass I had on May 23. However I read the London Free Press everyday so if I see any deals on green fees around the London area I will be sure to post them. As for my golf, I should be able to chip and putt in another 2 weeks....

We will be in PEI (Cavendish) in July for several days this July. Can anyone recommend courses which we can play with the kids? Since they are beginners, courses offering 9 holes and/or easy layouts would be ideal. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm a woman in Keswick planning a golf tournament for the first time (with 5 other team members) for Breast Cancer. WOW! A lot of work, I need your expertise! We've got about 8 foursomes so far but we really want to sell out! Any advice? We've decided to reduce our foursome rate. So...

I am heading to Edmonton for work next week and was looking to play some golf. I know Kanaskas is much to far, but can someone recomend a must play golf course? I may be able to sneak out for a few rounds.

Wondering if the discount golf club will continue this year? Had a blast the last couple of years playing the courses in the Wasaga Beach area and wondering why the list is gone. Hope it will return as the courses there are great and I am down several times during the season to play.

Has anyone played SLU or Partridge Run this year? I'm considering taking a longer route to Malone this spring and getting in a round at SLU on the way but I'd like to get a feel for the conditions first ... Thanks in advance!

Has anyone been to Malone yet this year? I'm heading down in a couple of weeks and I'm curious to hear what the conditions are like. It's usually outstanding by the end of May but this has been a strange spring and with my luck, the course will have caved in or something ...

I am heading down to Nothern Michigan this weekend for a golf trip. Anyone ever been? So far I am playing Westwynd and the Orchards and am looking to book 2 more. Also looking for some decent nightlife. Any help is appreciated! Nigel

Prompted to write this after reading a piece by Scotty Cameron in March. Our foursome went to MBSC for the second time this year in April. Drive down and stayed half way in Winchester VA (Hampton Inn). No road delays and stayed on the I-95 most of the way, cutting across on the 501 into the middle...

April has come to an end and I managed to play 20 1/2 rounds of golf during the month:-) Nice way to start the season. Bring on the warm weather. :)

I'm going to be spending the better part of 2 weeks in NS this summer, mostly around Halifax with friends, but will also travel to the Cabot Trail area (in this area where's the most economical but nice place to stay with wife and three kids who don't golf?). So, where are the must-play...

I'm going to Winnipeg on business, will be there one day, can play one round in the afternoon. Can anyone tell me where I should play. I don't mind paying if the course is memorable and in great shape.

Going to Jamaica in a few weeks and may play some golf. Anybody have any experieces they wish to share? Also, do I bring my clubs (25 handicap) or just rent (wife may get angry carrying the extra baggage)? Cheers Moochie

so has anyone had a chance to get out yet? I went out this afternoon to play at fanshawe, conditions were good for this time of year. Man am I out of "golf" shape, think my shoulder ached from my first drive on. My only goal today was not to shoot over 90, so it was a good day. only one birdie and...
