Which courses have the least amount of leaves?

[jmwhite]

It's the time of year again where we start losing balls in the middle of the fairway due to the leaves falling off the trees.

So which courses have the least amount? Who has the most?

equinelle and pineview had very few late last week. I imagine stonebridge would as well as their aren't many trees on the course.

Arnprior has very few leaves, and they do blow off what they do have, plus they aerated earlier this year and won't be again this fall.

[Sakuraba]

The Marshes has few trees. Stonebridge as mentioned has very few as well. I'm trying to think about open courses I've played in the fall. Mountain Creek doesn't have a lot of trees, neither does one of the original 9s at Greensmere... Personally, I like trees this time of year, but I feel your pain on the leaves hiding balls.

Hammond is mostly pines, I did not found any leaves there Sunday. Greens are aerated.

But a few puddles

Played Greensmere last night. The only hole that was at all affected by leaves was the dogleg 13th. Other than that it course was clean of debris

yes, definitely a few "splashdowns" last night. actually it would be really nice if next year they address those low spots in the fairways that don't drain as part of their maintenance plan.

Other than that the course is in excellent shape and they have done an excellent job at/of revamping it.

agree totally. the greens are still rolling nice and while a bit slow, which is expected at this time of year, are virtually void of ballmarks which is amazing. I will also say that the bunkers are the best in the city (at least at a public course that I have played). Other courses should take note. Greensmere's were awful last weekend.

I think that's supposed to read "No one on Pineview tonight"....

nope, not many other than us. cool blustery and a wee bit rainy days don't bode well for a packed course. good news was we got around in 3:15 including a 15 min rain delay.

We are going to be undertaking some drainage projects in the coming weeks to address the worst spots. A comprehensive drainage solution is in the works and will tie into our plan to dig some holding ponds.

[John]

I do get nervous around you two...

[justdoit]

Played Nation yesterday and was pretty clear,Cobden does a good job mulching and blowing them away.Worst would be Vieux Moulins but they never really cared anyways about maintaining the course,lol

[justsomeguy]

Not a leaf to be found on Cloverdale and the course was in fantastic shape.

glen mar had no leaves on Friday except on the bush as it should be.
