All in all,a great suny day with the wife(her B-day) and our son.Worth the trip up and 30.00.

Hey Marc---we are back and I need another good laugh

Does Dynese tell jokes while you are in the middle of your swing too?

Played Pakenham on Saturday...pretty wet...couldn't get off the tee until the 15th, so the round wasn't great at all. But the season is long and I can't wait for it.

I've now been to Calabogie twice, Dragonfly once, and a couple holes yesterday at Cedar Glen. Really can't wait for some GREEN!!!!

You golf

**Dunny** · 03-30-2009 04:39 PM

That's putting it nicely!

**Kilroy** · 03-30-2009 04:41 PM

Do we have a new candidate for

OTY ?

I'm just missing the round at Dragonfly, but I shouldn't tell you that I'm heading out tomorrow and Wednesday (Casselview maybe ) if the weather cooperates !!! LOL !!!!

**Dunny** · 03-30-2009 05:12 PM

Damn you Tim!! I want the week off too!!!

**OutOfTheRough** · 03-30-2009 06:01 PM

Just a FYI

Casselview is really wet right now. They have cut the greens 4 times already this year. The will know tomorrow end of day if they are going to open Wednesday most likely thursday.

**Pinshark** · 03-30-2009 06:09 PM

Prescott was in great shape on Saturday for this time of year. Greens are FAST.

Drove by Casslview over the weekend and could not believe how "green" the greens were..they looked nice.

Played Pakenham on Saturday and as previous posts mentioned it was a little soggy, but def playable.

**Waynester** · 03-31-2009 02:47 PM

Just called Casselview and they said that they are opening Thursday. 38$ Green Fee (w/o cart) though, which from what I can tell is full price. Could that be, I thought last year they had 2 for 1 or something like that?

**Marcos** · 03-31-2009 03:53 PM

Played Presscot again today and it was surprisingly dry.A few wet spots here and there but all and all very good.Greens are nice.30.00.I cant believe Casselview charging full price.Dont get me wrong,they have the best springtime greens but its not in top conditio right now.

**Marcos** · 03-31-2009 03:56 PM

Doesnt everyone?LOL.Thats the only reason I bring her with me to play,that and to count my score.

**Sparks** · 03-31-2009 04:16 PM

Just thought I'd mention that Dragonfly overall was in pretty good shape, with slow, but dry and consistent greens - with the exception of a wet 9th fairway and a very puzzling pin placement on 13. The green was 80% dry, 10% wet and 10% underwater. Guess where the pin was cut???

**big mac** · 03-31-2009 05:48 PM

Yes Casselview is maybe pricey but one of the best springtime green conditions---let's get going

Next year, I will be in Indio for 6 to 8 weeks.... PLAYING GOLF!

**Gray1512** · 04-02-2009 08:39 AM

Did anyone get a chance to play Champlain or LVM in the rain yesterday? Did they even open? What about Casselview? Getting desperate for a game!

Cheers

Played LVM today and it was soggy

greens were erated from last year but with temps like this who cares. Actually will probably wait to go back for a bit if it rains again and it should, so buyer beware.

$38 green fee today with coupon to come back anytime before may 15th

I'll go May 14th

**Marcos** · 04-02-2009 04:45 PM

Casselview was soggy on the front mostly but,the greens more than make up for it.Not sure what the price was cause we were with GolfXtra but the gentleman we played with mentioned something about paying an amount and getting two games.Maybe ask before,but like I said the greens are just great for this time of the year.

**Dunny** · 04-02-2009 04:49 PM

"but like I said the greens are just great for this time of the year."

I don't know why more courses don't use hay and straw to cover their greens instead of tarps like Casselview does. Makes for nice spring greens

I thought that was you, but wasn't 100 % sure. Just to add to conditions back was a little soggy as well, and about 6 temp tee boxes to add to that. Oh yeah, the greens nice and are very receptive to Pro V1's !!!!

**Grabster** · 04-02-2009 08:08 PM

Played Raceview today.
Surprising not bad.
Pretty dry for the most part.

Greens were not in great condition but I never found greens at Falcon Ridge anything special. They were a bit worse than what I have seen during the summer.

2nd hole was a laugh. Ice still on the water and there must have been about 30 golf balls just sitting on the ice.

If someone had a decent ball retriever they could have a blast picking those up.

**gbower** · 04-02-2009 09:02 PM

Played Mapleview today and it's very dry. Only wet area was on #10. As expected the greens are shaggy and slow but very good shape for this time of year. Quite busy for a Thursday.

**Marcos** · 04-03-2009 02:29 PM

Just played LVM,9 holes only,could not bare to plat 18.Worst condition I have ever seen it at this time of year,out of 4 courses I have played.Wet,wet,wet and damp!!!!!.Sorry but its not worth it until it dries up.Cant imagine Champlain.Went by Kingsway and the back nine is a pool.Not kidding!!

**OutOfTheRough** · 04-03-2009 05:42 PM

Thanks for the update Marcos. I'm glad that i went to casselview yesterday and not LVM. I think I'll be waiting for both of them to dry up before I head back.
