    Yup,great idea.Nice too see all those fathers out there with the kids.

    I cant wait until my son is old enough to play!
    One warning......If you plan on going with buddies and forget about the kids play free
    week,be prepaired for long waits!
    I made that mistake,2 and a half hour long 9 holes!
    Oh well,had fun watching some of the young kids.

    Canadian took a different approach , free for the 9 hole course & 1/2 price for the 18 hole course. I could not believe how cheap they looked not giving free rounds during such a promotion. Especially considering we played Eagle Creek the previous day and my son was a freebie.

    I took my step-daughter out last week after work to Falcon Ridge but was surprised that she was the only kid. Even the Raceview track was void of kids. Perhaps it was just a slow night.

    My wife took our son (aged 8) to Capital City on Bank Street Sunday afternoon for his first experience on a golf course (we have been to the range with him before). They got 10 holes in - it took 3 hours - but he enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately, my daughter and I were travelling home from a baseball tournament in Brampton and were unable to join them.

    $25 in green fees seemed a bit steep for this course, don't you think?

    I think for kids it's crazy to pay that much. I payed $21 for nine holes at Raceway for my step daughter who just turned 13.

    I guess I should have looked a bit closer. It was $25 for my wife and would have been $15 for my son.

    I guess I am just not keeping up with the times, I was still thinking $25 could get you more than 18 holes of par 3 golf.
