    Might be playing Smuggler's Glen Monday afternoon (April 22) if I can duck out of work.
    Anybody heard anything about the conditions? I've never been there before.

    It's a great course but might be a tad wet with all the rain we had. I've played it the past two springs and it was wet. Best to give them a ring to be sure. You won't be disappointed in the layout though, it's fantastic.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Great course. Admittedly I haven’t been in a few years but it was always nice in the past and I doubt that has changed. It was also inexpensive in the spring and if I recall the sausages and beer after 9 were really cheap and quite delicious. But I have never played it in the spring and not come off the course with wet feet. It’s usually a little spongy this time of year. Not terrible but something to be mindful of

    If the course says "cart path only" I think it's a good bet it's wet
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Cedarhill was in brutal condition when we played today. Course should not have opened and they certainly should not be charging 40.00.

    Still too early for courses in and around the city. We walked along the walking path adjacent to falcon ridge and the course is soaked.

    Played Mapleview golf club for the first time. I liked the layout of the course, great mixture of holes. Course was in quite good condition for this time of year and my wife and I were paired with two great gentleman who were great to play with.
    The downside, the course double booked every tee-off (al least around the time we were there, 11:30am tee-off), so eight people every 8 minutes, we did not tee-off until 12:10pm and because it was double booked it was really slow (5 hours to play), had to wait on every hole. Will not be going back.

    This is not the Pine View you remember from years gone by. Come back and see what we have done and what we have in store for the future - www.pineview.com

    Not unusual for Cedarview to do that kind of thing, best practice, just don't go there anymore

    The temptation to get out of golf hibernation is just too great.
    The courses will get a fair share of early birds but charging 40$ for this time of the year is just too much. I hope they will give you a coupon or two.

    Played Cedarhill today and the greens were terrible, lots of brown and punched. Fairways were wet and lots of leaves, lots of lost balls. Still, can only hit the driving range so many times.

    Drove by Pineview today---lots of brown and it looks soft I'd say wait for at least 3 weeks , opening prices are ridiculous.
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    That part of the Falcon Ridge is always soaked at the beginning of the season. The Raceview 9-hole course is usually decent at this time of year (along with 1 to 3 and 16 to 18 on Falcon Ridge), as these holes are built on an old sand quarry.


    Mapleview in Perth was certainly playable on Sunday. A few wet spots and cart-path-only, but no plugged balls and decent greens.

    Agreed. Played Monday and the conditions were horrendous.

    2 temporary greens, almost every green in awful shape and 18 was basically the only hole that wasn’t completely soaked from tee to greeen. Many holes it was impossible to find a dry spot in the fairway.

    $40 is a joke in those conditions and the round took nearly 5.5 hours.

    Don’t play there often but I likely won’t be back.

    It sucks and I feel for the local courses. It’s been a really long winter and I’m sure they want to open the doors ASAP and get some revenue flowing but dang this can’t hurt your brand in a really bad way. Again each course is different but from what I’ve seen locally it’s still too early to be open and unless you are discounting the round there is a big risk to leaving a less than favourable impression. Our club is 27 holes and has a 10 and 12 min tee time interval. I would walk off the course if a round took 5+ hours and I think it gets back to packing too many people in with compressed tee times. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot but 10-12 minutes (alternating) is a heck of a big difference from 8 mins. It’s all about underpromising and overdelivering and you set yourself up for failure if you try and compress the tee sheet. Just my two cents
