2004 Spring Course Conditions
I played Nation April 09. The fairways were dry, however the thawing created all these little craters in the fairways. I hope they flatten out when the ground thaws.
FYI: They filled in the fairway bunker on 10 with sod, so no need to worry about that pesky hazard.

was there a bunker on 10? Never noticed it, must have always gone around or over it ......kidding........good to hear that the fairways are not lakes though......how did you do?

Was at Champlain on Thursday, first day they were open, and it was really tough. Very wet in the fairways, greens patchy and inconsistent. Paid $38 and got another weekday round between here and May 14th for free. Going to bank that one until at least two weeks of drying happen.
Glad to hear Nation is in decent shape...
Anyone else have any reports?

Mapleview
Played Mapleview on friday and everything was just as I remembered.
Ok the first time I was there was last november at our second to last round.
The course is a bit of a drive but was well worth it. Fairways were dry and there were no wet spots that I found. Greens were good with no winter damage that I could see. All in all, a good day. And they had king cans for $4. Always a plus in our group.I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

Can't help it, it was that Cape Breton yak pee.....Keiths.......there is proof that if you put alcohol in something, some pathetic soul will drink it.

You don't actually drink that stuff do you? Blah.....I would rather have a hemmroid so long that it got caught in my bike spokes than drink one of those things. Why don't you find a cold can of BLUE STAR.....the shining beer of the granite planet........rather than Keiths........the beer of Cape Breton intellectuals (are there such things......doubt it)

Played Cedar Glen on friday.They have only the back nine open(new nine)and it was very nice.A bit wet but not too bad at all.The greens are fantastic, fast, smooth and better than most courses greens in mid-july.They were charging 10 bucks for 9 or 20bucks to play it twice.
Just as an aside ,why don't we try to keep this thread for course conditons reviews and not about all other comments more or less non golf related,it gets a little annoying reading through all the crap to get to what these threads are supposed to be about.
Nothing personal towards anyone..

It is supposed to be a fun and friendly place, however, an unusual number of threads lately are going off topic.
In this thread up to that point:
4 posts on course conditions
8 on beer and puke and pee.
Humourous comments are always appreciated, but try not to hijack a thread with it.

Just got back from Calabogie. First time there and thought it was pretty good. A couple of frozen ponds, a little snow falling and they cut the greens. Unfortunately the cut greens exposed the aeration from late last year, and they were very bumpy from the holes. I found the greens at Mapleview on Friday to roll much truer.
It is a course thet I would like to get back to later in theyear when it is in its prime.
Broken, PMs are good for quick chats when there's no-one else around. I wish this forum software had a chat feature.It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

OK back on topic I just played Casselview....paid full price $38......the fairway ranged from very moist to standing water. About 10-12 of the greens had the tarp only partially removed, giving you about half of the green to play with.......too much for too little in my opinion......On a happier note I was making really solid contact on all irons.....my driver was dialed in perfectly.......I would just like to see them halve their price for conditions like that.

Here's a shot of #9 at Calabogie, it was snowing just a bit. And the ice was fun to bouce the ball off of!

Isn't more fun watching a ricochet than listening to the splash...I played Casselview today and they had ice in the water hazzards....I saw about 8 balls waiting for the ice to melt to fall to the bottom

learned lst year, that even though i want to get out and play to wait a bit..
most courses in the area arnt in great shape at this time of the year, but thier prices are usually regular rates...if you open early and the course is wet/dry anything but in good shape how can they justify charging full price...discounted rates would take the sting out of playing in poor conditions..

Champlain - $38, but get a free weekday round to use before May 14th.
Nation - $24 to play 18 during the week, or 2-for-1 (according to their website)
Gatineau - Reg Price, get a second round for free.
I wouldn't have minded the conditions so much, since it helps me determine how far my clubs go in the air. My issue was losing perfect tee-shots in the middle of the fairway because of plugging.
