Spring Openings

True in most cases, but the greens tend to dry out quickly and if they can't water them they will suffer.

Complaining about dry conditions for April/May golf is a good problem to have though.

I don't mind the gohpers,it's the geese that I would like to kill!! Already a few here. I would love to see the greens dry out before the irrigation system gets fired up. Not likely to happen though. Usually late April is when it gets going.

**nokids** · 03-15-2010 02:33 PM

lol. the geese @ meadows drive me nuts. always poopin on the green.

**nokids** · 03-15-2010 02:39 PM

19th tee said they would open wednesday. but to give them a call to make sure.

**Hearzy** · 03-15-2010 03:03 PM

Any courses open this week? I am dying to get out for a game.. Perhaps this weekend?. Tomorrow is suppose to be 15*!

**Kilroy** · 03-15-2010 03:27 PM

Still no word of any opening dates in Eastern Ontario / Western Quebec. Stay tuned.

BlueMan · 03-15-2010 04:04 PM

Its not this week but I just called Prescott and they said late next week is what they are aiming for.

**Break68** · 03-15-2010 04:32 PM

Plus 15 C tomorrow, must be somewhere local opening soon!

**Break68** · 03-15-2010 04:42 PM

I just called Mississippi and they won't be open until after April 1st sometime.

Thanks for saving me the call. Clubs will be going into the trunk tonight.

**btasse** · 03-15-2010 06:02 PM

Bunch of clubs opened in the Toronto area.....

**John** · 03-15-2010 07:11 PM

I'll be very surprised if something doesn't open this weekend or early next week.

**Kipper** · 03-15-2010 07:50 PM

heard that Dragonfly was opening 20 March. Called but no answer this morning.

**solstrum** · 03-15-2010 08:19 PM

Was at Calabogie today... They have a foot of snow over most of the course, they are hoping for rain but they are not opening this week for sure!

Mountain Creek is down to the ice and crusty snow level, perhaps 3 inches max. They are hoping for the first weekend of April, if it rains hard soon it could be sooner but not likely.

Madawaska has really melted. There is more grass visible than snow. The short course is mostly open but really wet. No body was around to see but I would think 2 weeks (will update when I hear)

Sandpoint has no snow in the rough and a few inches on the fairways. They would probably be looking at 2nd week of april.

Most of these courses need a really good rain to melt that last bit. If we get rain everything will be accelerated, if no rain we will be a couple of weeks.

**btasse** · 03-16-2010 06:10 AM

It looks to me like there is less snow in the east and south end of the city this year than in the west end. Maybe some courses in that area will open first.

**Kilroy** · 03-16-2010 07:27 AM

Cedar Glen will be open this weekend - Weather permitting

The Spring Openings page is now up on the main menu. It will be updated regularly as we get word so keep cheking in.

FORE!

Gee

I wonder if it will be easy to get a tee off? Think anybody will show up?

**Andy4Par** · 03-16-2010 08:15 AM

Make sure to bring your rubber boots, or a rowboat.

See you there!!

**Big Johnny69** · 03-16-2010 08:34 AM

If by weekend, they mean Fri, I could possibly join someone for a 10:30-11 tee time. If anyone books, let me know.

**Rapture Man** · 03-16-2010 11:07 AM

Golfland Driving Range on Innes opened last Wednesday.

**ktikat** · 03-16-2010 11:21 AM

CedarGlen isnt answering the telephone. I wonder if they will actually be taking tee times or if its first come first serve..the recorded message still says the opening is pending the weather...I sure hope the rain in the forecast is wrong!!

**leftylucas** · 03-16-2010 11:28 AM

It was first come first serve last year but if they get enough calls they will likely take some tee times, try calling later in the PM.

**ktikat** · 03-16-2010 11:38 AM

cool. thanks!

**nokids** · 03-16-2010 11:44 AM

i'm way more excited about driving ranges opening than courses. there is much work to do before hitting the links. lol

nah! I prefer to just jump right in...my first few rounds of the season tend to be my best....then it starts to go downhill from there

**Tullamore** · 03-16-2010 08:34 PM

went to Golfland Driving Range on Innes the last 2 days - it was sweet, middle of March short sleeves hitting balls! - Hoping for something to be up and running this weekend!

**jvincent** · 03-16-2010 08:53 PM

I got to the 19th tee after work. Sunny, warm, not crowded. I predict it will be a madhouse tomorrow.

**Indio** · 03-16-2010 08:58 PM

Just got an email from Cassleview, the are accepting T times starting tomorrow at 11:30
