Spring Openings

[2Low4U]

Anyone make it out to MapleView in perth today?

[UpperCanada8]

Didn't make it out myself, was playing a local municipal called the beach though, a little soggy. Good signs for the summer.

[Pine View]

Pine View is opening Saturday

The Execut1ve golf course will be opening at Pine View on Saturday April 19th. Spring rate is $20+tax.

The Championship Course will be opening next week. Spring rate is $25+tax.

If some courses are going to open early, hopefully no temporary greens with regular season green fees!

[justdoit]

Pineview has a Championship course????

[habsfan]

+22 Monday, +3 Tuesday and 5cm of snow. It won't last though.

Played Canadian, they can fully justify full rate, good greens, feet were dry, I think we saw one or two spots with minor standing water, carts allowed out.

[justdoit]

Wow good to hear...Go Habs eh !

[DecoyOctopus]

Prescott was $28.50 seemed high to me

[justdoit]

What kind of shape,how were the greens?

[EagleEagle]

Think * course at pineview will win out at 20 for me.With the price of gas factored in,Casselman at 39 isn't working .

[John]

Reports on Arnprior?

[justdoit]

Yup,we sure are getting taken for a ride in Ontario,Hydro going up,Embridge up 40 per cent and at the pumps.

Agree. Conditions o.k for this time of year. Cart paths only, few wet spots but o.k

well, I am not sure Canadian can ever justify $55 but that's a whole other discussion

All this makes me think it is wise to stick close to home,play Lombard at $22 ,Smiths falls and Rideau lakes should be open soon,all decent coarses with out the crowds and good value

[nokids]

Wise to not play till June. Invest the savings in the stock market.

That is funny,wisdom and golf in the same sentence
If I was wise I would go fishing.Of coarse if I did not catch anything I would say I should have went golfing

[Golfer100]

Played Calabogie on April 18th, wet fairways and shaggy greens but great to play my first round in 6 + months.

[mikelaurin]

played prescott yesterday greens were nice and quick pretty dry course was jammed by 12

[EagleEagle]

played Pineview today.Course was very playable and greens surprising good shape.Little wet in areas but that's to be expected.New owner was there and very friendly service.For 20 dollars it was great to be out.

[Marcos]

Presscott greens are exceptional as usual for this early. Wet in a few spots but overall good.

[gbower]

Played Mapleview today and in great shape for early in the season. Super dry and greens were rolling good. I think it's well worth the drive and not very crowded today.

[Wknd_Warrior]

Played Champlain, I've seen the course with a heck of a lot more water in the spring, but it's still a bit on the wet side. Most of the greens are punched, no ball washers etc... 2 for 1 deal though

[al m]

Played Lombard this morning,quite impressed with the greens. Some standing water on a few fairways but all in all very good early spring golf.
Perfect weather as well

[Dixie]

Played manderley North South and it was in good condition. Greens were rolling well and not as many wet spots in the fairway as I expected. Weekday rates and a 2 for 1 green fees for next month, during the week so good deal.

[downhillslider]

Did Arnprior today. Scary good shape considering the winter we had. One temp on #3. Fairways are 9/10, greens overall were about a 7.5. They were cut, rolling well but some had more punch marks than others.

All in all, worth the drive.

3 was completely rebuilt last fall and is in great shape. Will be open very soon. Glad you enjoyed it!

[zee51]

Played Nation today. Course is dry and in good condition. Greens a tad slow but true and in great shape. A little pricey at $39 for this time of year but used last year's coupon and played for $22.00 with tax.

[Sakuraba]

Renfrew is open today, I plan on heading over this evening, and I'll post in Spring Conditions. It is a course that really drains well, so I'm already optimistic.
