First Opening Day prediction
Radar Rob at Metcalfe Golf Club is predicting April 19th as opening day, nice to look forward to today after a nice dump of snow yesterday

I can see that cabin fever is definitely setting in.
Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

For sure, I cannot wait until early April as I am heading to my annual spring golf trip in Orlando and hopefully when I get back courses here will be opening

not as much snow as usual and the rest of Feb looks pretty good weather wise, I'll predict there will be a course open the first week of April.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

After a late soggy start last year, the earlier the better!

Weather Channel spring forecast suggests later start for spring. I'll guess April 20 for first round of the year.

I get that courses cannot do a lot to get courses ready until they are sure they will not get much more snow but by next week the snow will be gone and any new snow fall will melt pretty quickly so I predict early April

If it stays dry and reasonably warm, it will be an early start. My office overlooks the 10th hole at the Marshes and there is very little snow left.
Fingers crossed.Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

Snow's almost gone at Greensmere from what I could see from road driving by last night.

Stonebridge as well, I drove by the 10th hole yesterday and the fairways were pretty bare, just some snow in the bunkers and on the shady side of some of the hills

April 7th-Nations. It does not matter that much to me. We are playing tomorrow at Big Cyprus in Lakeland. Great conditions. Lefty, when you get here you have to try it out. 38.00 after 1:00 but the prices drop in April. Talked to a couple of guys and they have said Falcon's Fire is a little beat up and Mission Inn is questionable. Marco---we are going to have to figure out how to get you and Denyse down here. It has been a superb spring. 2 days below 70 degrees and it only rained twice----at night Check out Floridian Villa.com We are already booked for next year.
Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

Will do BIg Mac, our games are pretty well set but we do have a couple of openings and we have already dropped FF and Mission Inn from our list.

I played Mission Inn two weeks ago, El Campeon, thought it was decent. Bunkers were a bit inconsistent on some holes but overall not bad at all. Not sure if that is the same place you are referring to.

yes Michael--same course. We played last year just to see what all the hype was about. Honestly Stonebridge and Equinelle were in better shape. It is a nice layout but for the price that they are charging you would think a little more maintenance would be in order. We went over to Celebration today to hit balls 7.50 (10.50 cdn) 45 balls. 95.00 a round----tourist 129.00 US I went in and asked for an explanation. The answer I got was "because we can!" I just said "discrimination was alive and well in Florida." I did get some applause from another 4some in the shop. I checked earlier and there is no bylaw,covenant etc. that can justify this kind of treatment. We are playing up and down 27 from Lakeland to Leeseberg---no one has an out of state charge and the rounds run from 32.00 to 56.00 are most are in decent shape. It has been a great year with 3 weeks to go

My countdown calendar also has April 27 as opening day at Greensmere, but, I would prefer the March 22 opening of 2012.
Weather forecasters predicted a cooler than average March but warmer than average from March through May.
Of greater concern is the amount of solid ice that lay on top of uncovered greens and the potential for damage. Let's hope.Last edited by BC MIST; 03-18-2018 at 10:31 AM.

Guys, please keep this thread on the topic of local course openings. Start a new thread in Travel if you want to discuss Florida courses and deals. Thanks

For the courses that are located close to Ottawa I predict that the courses will open on Friday March 30th, for the course located farther from Ottawa, both sides of the river (Ontario & Quebec) the course will open later in april around 18th-20th

highly doubt we will see anything open by the end of the month if you look at the forecast. snow expected the next 2 days and the temperature not really getting above +3 for the next 2 weeks. It looked good a few weeks ago but March hasn't shaped up the way I thought i might.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

I spoke with the reps from the Prescott Golf Club and they thought they would be open before the end of the month!!
