Spring conditions

[jvincent]

If the conditions warrant full price, then why not pay it?

[KurtW]

Some of the courses are charging full rates but are also offering promos. At Nation you get a 2 for 1 for your next round. At Champlain they are offering your next round free (until the end of April). I'm pretty sure other courses are offering promos as well. So it's not necessarily full price.

And as jvincent said, if the course is in 'full price condition', then why not take advantage of the great early season conditions?

Played Smugglers yesterday. Amazing course, great service and a fair price. Greens were ok, not great.

I just love that track, but screwed up number 4 again trying to bite off too much......

I will return while the rates are so good.

just finished playing Meadows - South/West course....fairways are dry and greens are super slow but overall course is in great shape. South greens were a bit bumpy.

Think they are charging $40(including tax) on weekends and a bit cheaper during the weekday.

Opening day at Buckingham. Only 9 holes open, fairways dry, greens nice but slow and shaggy. Can only get better as season progresses. Other 9 holes to open on Wednesday.

Irish Hills was actually really dry all things considered. $25 for 18 w/ cart and free hot dog/sandwich at the turn yes please!

I was on a driving range when I said Man it's so nice I should go play somewhere. I played Meadows (West North), very dry fairways, greens smooth but a little slow, $39 + tax.

Played Arnprior yesterday. Weather was beautiful, course was in alright shape although the greens were still plinko from being punched and on the longer side. Worth the $27 though, compared to some other courses charging full-pop.

[OutOfTheRough]

Any word from Pineview.

I noticed they are not on the schedule yet?

[Sakuraba]

I played Renfrew Saturday with forum legend Hoolio (who must've been practising on a simulator all winter) and (I think) theMatt. The greens were really smooth and no winter kill any where, although a little slow. The course is bone-dry with no wet spots anywhere. The 2 can ride for $69 promo is on. They are repairing the grub damage that hit the course pretty hard in October, thankfully it really only came into play on the 18th hole, and as I said, its being repaired. Now, if only they could repair my swing which seems to have rusted something awful since November.

[corksens]

So if cost isn't a concern what course would you guys suggest to play this weekend?

[BogeyGolf]

Pebble Beach...lol

[John]

I played the Marshes on Sat and it's in good shape. Greens are pretty damn slow though.

Prescott... maybe Equinelle. Ask sunnyd if their greens are good, he lives on the course.

[John]

Playing Equinelle on Friday at 11:36 and I can't wait!!!

Played Manderley March 25.
The conditions were very good actually. Only 2 wet fairways. We played North then South that day. Keep in mind it was March 25. It was 90 degrees cart rules in affect that day, but we walked. I would definitely play again. Fairways were drier than Prescott.
The North greens were in good shape, but, the South greens were in amazingly good shape, much faster than the North greens, but not as fast as Prescott greens. I played Prescott on March 18.
Tee boxes were in mid-season shape, only one tee box on the South was closed and all three blocks (blue, white and red) were setup on the front Ladies tees. We were playing the White tee boxes that day.
I shot a 91 and I was very pleased, my score was helped by my putting and the fact that the greens were rolling so true.
A lot of people don't seem to like Manderley but I think it's prety darn good for the money.

[Marcos]

I like Manderley also Jonathan. We re-discovered it last fall and it was in great shape. Hope to get out there this season.

[Kilroy]

I've been a member at Manderley for several years. Great value amd people. Definately improved a lot over the years.

[nokids]

I will never forget winning that handicap bet with Dan at Manderley, ah memories

[Kilroy]

Was fun

[holeinone]

Played Casselview today and was impressed. Greens are really coming along nicely.

[Gofish2]

I've wondered the same thing about Pineview and their website is being rebuilt with no info on when they open ?

[Sunny D]

Prescott... maybe Equinelle. Ask sunnyd if their greens are good, he lives on the course.

Hey all the greens look, but I haven't been on them yet. Going to the range and practice area tonight and can let you know how the ball is rolling. I leave for Florida on Friday or I would have been out there to join you John....

[Sunny D]

Sorry that should have been the greens look great. They were watering both the greens and tee boxes last week.

[Kiwi]

Any word on Metcalfe? They had some tough conditions last year and wondering how they survived the Winter. Thanks!

[Shortswing]

Anyone played Vieux moulins so far ??

[THUNDAH]

Played VM yesterday and today. Greens have been top-dressed and are much better than last week. They roll true. Fairways are dry, need-rain dry.

[goliath]

Outaouais opened Friday and it's pretty good. Only a couple of rough spots but the greens are really good. I couldnt believe this was spring golf. Course is entirely dry and in great shape.

[sebber]

Played both Nation and Outaouais this past weekend, both courses are very nice greens were fast and true for both!

[casconem]

I'm playing Glen Mar on Saturday (Corporate Golf money saving choice). Anyone been out there or have an idea of how its playing? Don't want to waste my time in a swamp....
