Decisions, Decisions...
Okay, hopefully you guys can help me out. My friend from NB is coming down this weekend, and I am trying to figure out where to book a tee time. Since this time of the year I am always trying new courses, that I have not played..I am again going to take him somewhere we have both never been. I narrowed it down between: Metcalfe, Cloverdale, Casselview, Poplar Grove, and Chataeu Cartier. My friend is like a 20 handicap, so these courses should be okay for him. Let me know some of your ratings on these courses. That would be great. Thanks.

Chateau Cartier
Was out at Chateau Cartier a week and a half ago and I was quite dissapointed with their greens. Course itself wasn't in bad shape but even for a round that was free I was disappointed with the course.
I don't know if you've played Renfrew, but its mint right now. Greens are running as true or better than I've ever seen them. Go play Mon-Wed for $30 or $25 after 2 PM. I also hear Pakenham is nice right now.

Cloverdale
Can't go wrong with Cloverdale.. forgiving and good for the golf ego...

I played the Meadows a few weeks ago and its in great shape. I'm a 20 handicap and enjoy playing the Canadian, Metcalf, Cloverdale, Glen Mar and Emerald Links. I think Poplar Grove is one of the worst courses as far as condition and layout...would not play it again unless I was wearing a hard hat. Its been a couple of years since I played there(so it might have improved) but I would not treat an out of town buddy to a course like that. Stonebridge would be a nice treat.

Cloverdale by far the better course off your list. Condition wise that is..........
Hope for the wind to pick just before you start and you will nejoy the links style course much more than without the wind.I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

Also try Emerald Links
Emerald links is also good and funny enough, owned by the same people as Cloverdale.
I would avoid the Meadows if it is weekend golf. Or be prepared for 5.5-6 hours of waiting

Mind if ask what time do you play on weekends?
I 've played Meadows on weekends for several years and never play more than 4 1/2 hrs tops. We usually can walk it in 3 hours 45 minutes as a foursome. Every weekend ealy morning (6:45 - 7 am).I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

Cloverdale would be my pick as well..make it an early start to really enjoy before it gets real busy.

tee time
Sure if you play at that time then I'm sure you game is quick - but how many in front of you or how many did they send out too soon? Probably none. Also, anyone golfing at that time in the morning is more of a serious golfer in my opinion... I don't think sunday type golfers get up at 5:30 or 6 AM to arrive early like you in order to golf a round...
I tend to golf later in the morning. More mid to late morning at Meadows.
But now I'm a member, so no more of that!

Cloverdale!
Cloverdale would be my pick. Played two Saturdays ago, started shortly before 8:00 and played in 4 hours.

Getting a little monotenous but CLOVERDALE is head & shoulders over those other choices.
Have a great weekend.......

Thanks-- Cloverdale it is
Well, I guess I have played all the better courses in the area, because out of my list it seems that Cloverdale was the only one anybody suggested. Thanks for all the other suggestions as well. Emerald links especially.. one of the best in the area, I try to play that one a few times each year. I have heard that Cloverdale is nice and open to, eh? May suit my buddy's game more than mine. It is like John Daly vs. Fred funk when we play.

Yes, I have heard that some of the courses I have never been to must be a good thing. Poplar Grove, Cartier and Casselview are 3 of maybe just a half a dozen courses that I have not played in the area. Thanks for the suggestions. I have never played Refrew, which a few mentions.. but really hope to play there. I will try Cloverdale, and see how that plays. Oh, and broken27, it is crazy.. but I would almost say that those courses you mentioned would be the exactly same ones I'd suggest. Nation has to be one of my fav.
