Has anyone played nation this year? Is the reno of Hole 16 green complete and the hole being played?

Claude Blanchette owner of Nation Golf Club replied to me by text as follows:

16 has been open since May of 2023. Green #10 was closed last fall for an upgrade. We are still playing a temporary green at that hole until mi-May.

Ah right, #10, thanks. They are nice changes to those two greens!

16 has been done since last year. They brought #10 lower by at least 10 feet.Now your starting on the old #7 on the ftont nine. Reason for that is you can book for 12 holes instead of 18.

Buckingham greens are in fantastic shape. The best so far. Fairways are nice with a few damp spots.

Metcalfe 18-hole course is open.

Opening day for Metcalfe 18-hole course. Cart path only for 3, 16, 17 and 18 and there were some wet spots there but still quite playable. A few wet spots on 6 and 15 as well but nothing major. All the greens were in fantastic shape and the fairways on the newer holes (7 to 15) were great as well. Drainage work on #2 today so it was playing as a par-3, but prior notice was given when we booked. I believe they are switching that to #4 tomorrow for the same reason, and also opening the 9 hole course tomorrow.

Cloverdale opened April 21

Very wet fairways, lots of puddles, so I assume this is why they can't be cut which means no run. Lots of plugged balls.

Greens were cut, slow but decent shape.

Has anyone had a chance to play Renfrew...wondering on what conditions are like so far this year....Last year the course was in great shape.

Played Renfrew on Apr 27 2024....Course was in great shape. Actually need water...Very dry. Greens were almost in mid summer condition...very quick.

Played Pineview Apr 29 2024.... Course was VERY wet. Greens spotty with different growth patches. IMHO course should not have been open yet due to wetness.

Thanks, will give it a pass for this week.

Played Madawaska yesterday the first nine holes mud all over very wet, greens punched from last year and no sand in the holes. Following holes 15,16 and 17 you had to leave the cart and used pull carts to play these 3 holes.

Unfortunately most courses are really wet right now. Buckingham included and no carts out. Best wait for a bit of sunshine to dry everything out

Played Prescott yesterday and the course was in good shape with no major wet areas. A few spots were roped off to keep from getting damaged by carts, but overall very open.

I don't know how they do it, but the greens were their usual "nasty quick" despite some looking a bit shaggy. Love / Hate those greens

Meadows was in good shape (W/N), but very wet. The greens were excellent
