Spring Openings

[1972Apex]

Played La Cite in Hawkesbury this morning, as they opened on Friday. The course was in great shape for the time of the year... not a wet spot anywhere!
Greens had been punched and were very slow but I think that's to be expected in March . Despite the aeration holes, they rolled pretty true.

Thanks for the update NoBack. Do you happen to know if they are letting out power carts? No answer at the course when I call.

Thanks!

Mapleview is opening on Monday. 18 holes, carts available (cart path only for a couple of days) The greens have been cut and are in excellent shape. Call 613-264-1235 in the morning for a tee time.

Good job Jay, always enjoyable to get out to Mapleview. I'll get a round in when I get back from Florida.

Anyone know if the Marshes are offering special rates for the Spring or if it's the regular rates?

I thought I heard on the radio that they were or would be by the weekend.

[Quagmire]

Ok, was able to get through. Marshes is $85 all day, and they give you 50% your next round.

I just phoned the shop. They are opening tomorrow.

I'm booked @ 8am friday at Manderley. I booked as a solo, if anybody wants to join me you can likely get in by calling and asking to join Savard. I don't know many people on here but wouldn't mind meeting some more people. I've been told my "game" is entertaining, just not sure it's a good thing....lol.

Marchwood and the range open tomorrow. The main course at The Marshes will open on Thursday.

I'd like to join you leafman but I'd be paying almost double. Friday is considered a weekend day so there are restrictions on me booking at Manderley (open to 7am, and after 12pm). Is it because of the holiday or is Friday always considered a weekend?

It's the holiday, I forgot about that. Friday is considered a weekday. Crap, guess I'm paying as well. My membership is only after 1 on weekends/holidays. I leave for NS on Saturday morning so it's my only day I can realistically get out.

Are you sure they give you a 50% coupon? The guy on the phone seemed to think that when you pay the $85, they'll let you pay for your next round at 50%. So you'd be paying around $130 upfront, but you get two rounds... Still a good deal, but not sure if people will want to shell out $130 right away... Maybe I misunderstood.

You may be right, can't say I was listening to him all that intently.+

Yes, that is the way it works. $130 up front and you get a coupon good for another round - till May 19th for the free round; after that worth $45 towards your green fee.

Played today - conditions were pretty good. Greens were cut and rolled though still a bit slow but running true. Fairways were punched with the cores left. Very dry - carts were allowed to scatter. Range and practice green are open as well.

Chateau Cartier is also opened.

Does anyone know when Glenmar is opening?
