Meadows in good condition...the only thing I will mention is they have 2 green fees, Twilight rate and Weekend rate (No weekday, Senior rate...etc...) just so people are aware...

Mont-Cascades, is in very good condition, just the greens on 16 and 17 have yellow spots but rolling well.
The road going in through the water slides was all paved right up to the course, really nice.
Played Prescott yesterday and it was very good as always. Greens in good shape, not as crazy fast as they usually are, but fast and tricky as always. Fairways dry enough that the ball was running much more than other courses I've played.
Lots of roll on the fairways and some green aprons getting brown. Greens are really nice, still a bit slow but getting faster and they are all pretty consistent with the exception of 16 and 17 of course.
Well organized check-in. Hang out in the parking lot until greeter allows you to check in at pro shop. One cart per person unless you live in the same household which improves pace of play since the tee times are pretty full.
Heard that some people are complaining about inconveniences (smh) and some not adhering to distancing rules. Really don't understand it and this is the type of behaviour that will cause courses to be closed or fined.
Played at Whitetail Tuesday. Check in was very organized. Shared carts only for those in the same household. Course wasn't in it's usual immaculate condition. I have a feeling they only stated working on it once the official go ahead was given. More winter kill visible than usual. Temporary green on 3 and they were doing some sod work on I think it was 5 so we were asked to lay up in front of the green and add 2 strokes. A bit of time and it should be back to normal.
first rounds of the year this week...doesn't it feel great to be doing something nearly normal :)
Loch March was friendly as always. Well organized, (I walked but looked like single use of carts). Course was in very good condition but greens were slow. They were very true and evenly covered though and I'm sure they will be faster this week once they are double cut.
The Marshes... was a fun round but the greens were not good. Patchy, grainy, uneven and slow. Putting was a bit of a lottery. Single use Carts.
Gatineau yesterday....great shape all round. no complaints whatsoever and at $25 +tax for afternoon round it was also great value. I walked but carts looked like they had some sort of plastic divider.
Golfed Metcalfe this afternoon. Very well organized everywhere. All the staff knew exactly what they and the golfers should do. Sandwiches were delivered on the course. Conditions were good; a bit of winter kill on the fairways and the greens were all in good shape, but a bit slow. But, hey, it's still May. Our foursome cruised through in four hours. Another great Metcalfe experience. Keep up the great work !

Almost mid summer condition. Greens roll very well. Fairways are in very excellent shape and rough is lush :) Check-in staff is well organized. Even with all the rain Friday and Saturday, the course was dry
One temp tee off (#3, not sure why). Overall, 30+taxes booked online was a great deal.
Played Mountain Creek yesterday and it was in good shape. Greens were fast and true, very few dead spots. Fairways were nice, one little area under repair on 5 I think. Really enjoyable round. Quick check in and well organized. I walked, didn't see what they had going as far as carts.
Anderson Links.
South, fairways are more dirt than fairway, greens looked terrible but actually rolled ok with decent speed.
East, fairways very bad, dead patches, greens punched and very bad for putting.
My first visit there in 4+ years. Shocked at the decline.
Montebello, greens 7.5 , fairways 8.0, no separators for carts so 1 cart per player. Overall very good, will go back.
Meadows condition has improved a lot in the past couple of weeks. Very green and greens rolling well.
Played Pakenham for the first time in about 5 years today. Wow....what an improvement. Stopped playing there because of the deteriorating conditions in the past few years but I have to say it again..WOW...greens were in great shape except for the odd bump here and there. Fairways were in very good shape as were the tee areas. I wasn't expecting much before the round but I was very impressed with the conditions (Canyon-Island). Kudos to management and greens staff. will definitely be back again.
Buckingham starting aeration on Monday. Its a shame as the greens are wonderful now but it has to be done.
played Summerheights , MacLennan , really nice shape , the greens are by far the best I have played on this year.
Drove by Upper Canada on the way home and from what I saw of 17 & 18 it looks very lush , going to give it a go soon
Banner year-----I did hear from friends that the Royal and Ancient Bearbrook was booked solid :-)
