[ladygolfer13]

[Kilroy]

15 courses have sent in dates. Looks like April 13 is opening day at this point FORE!

[big mac]

ALRIGHT !!!!!! best news I have heard from home since I left . Last game is Wednesday at the Club of Eagle Brook in Lakeland. Lots of gators and great greens Let the games begin !!!!!

[mizzyboy]

Pine View's calling my name on the 15th. Plus with the Masters next week let's hope that Spring will cooperate with the intended openings! From the looks of it now though still looks like a long way to go

[stevek]

Yeah, looks like a slow start to spring.... Snow Friday!

[ladygolfer13]

i hope snow tomorrow is not going to delay it

[Marcos]

Hopefully Prescott will open soon as they dont have any snow to talk about.

[big mac]

Got home yesterday---Syracuse had no snow to talk about---ground was still pretty wet but maybe by the 15th .

Napanee Golf Club opened on Saturday. It takes me 2 hr 15 minutes to get there from the Parkdale entrance to 417. It's a 9 hole course with two sets of tee-boxes to change the length of the holes and the angle of the drives on the second time around. It plays at just under 6,000 yards for 18 holes. It's a course that dates from 1897. Mature trees and hilly terrain complicate shot-making (no earth-movers made this place; the course was "found" in the existng landscape). Sam Snead set the course record in the 1950s. Saturday was a wet walk underfoot. Sunday was much drier. Spring rate of $23 for unlimited play for the day.

From Thom Miller at Prescott, starting times are now being taken for Monday, the 10th.

[Kilroy]

Mapleview in Perth is also planning to open Monday, weather permitting

[BogeyGolf]

No news from the Meadows yet on a possible opening date?

[leftylucas]

I am sure all that rain has not helped as the ground is now clearly 100% saturated, l was hoping to get out before my Florida golf trip on Tuesday so Monday may just be the day.

[BogeyGolf]

I hate to say this Luc, Florida is saturated as well...but with golf courses...LOL

[leftylucas]

Ha, they have the opposite problem there, very dry conditions right now which is great for my drives, I may stretch them to 220+ if I am lucky!! We have some pretty nice courses for an average of $36/game, Celebration,both Mission Inn courses to name a few.

Enjoy Luc.

Hey Lefty--try out Highlands Reserve on 27 and Big Cyprus--just north of Lakeland---2 fun courses to play If I had known you were there I would have stayed longer

[big mac]

Oh and I forgot The Club at Eaglebrook---just off the 570 loop---worth the play Too many courses--not enough time

[Pine View]

Pine View is opening Friday. Tee times are available starting at 8am.

[Marcos]

Heading out to Casselview Friday and hope conditions of fairways are good. The greens are always mint but fairways tend to be a bit soggy on a few holes. Start of the season so cant be too picky. Have a great time out there everyone.

[huge21]

Same here Marcos. Teeing off at casselview. Decided to be a member there this year. I dont really mind the condition at this time of year, just glad to get out and play.

[ladygolfer13]

I hope to be playing at Nation on Friday.. fingers crossed, saw a few pictures, Greens look very nice, still snow in places where sun doesnt hit during day, but that will be what my Volvik Pink ball is for... hahah

[Norwaybay]

I spoke to Mark (GM Meadows) and he mentioned that he is shooting for next week but if weather doesn't cooperate, then most likely 21st weekend. I hope we don't have to wait too long!

Not sure what you mean Chief As each course opens and OK's online booking they are enabled. Some already are.

[Chieflongtee]

Gatineau and Champlain are scheduled to open tomorrow. As of now I can't book either via online booking. Thanks

[Kilroy]

They have to give RM the OK to open the online booking. Some like to hold off a few days until they are fully open.
