Just played Rockland yesterday. It was in very good shape. As usual a bit soft but not mushy. We played West-South and there were a couple of greens on the West that were punched and a couple that had the perimeter of the green punched, but it wasnt too bad. The South greens were not touched and they were in very good shape, except for the unrepaired ball marks on the greens...this seem to be a common occurrence lately at many courses.

Except for those 2 greens that were aerated on Tuesday. They were cutting the greens and rolling them this morning. They were even rolling the fringe on 9 east, so any balls short were rolling back in the hazard. Lol

Played the Oaks again yesterday, some greens have got better , some have gotten a little worse , by all means the course very playable and fun , but prices are comparable to Whitetail and Dragonfly but conditions are not.
The Oaks is 5 mins from our campground and we'll still head back regularly , great staff and course , but the other courses are in superior conditionAt the end of the day ... It gets dark

Played Hammond Friday for my first time ever. Tee sheet was packed and we managed to complete the round in 4h35. Staff were great and the marshalls I have encountered were wanting to speed up the pace of play and were monitoring the course well. I was disappointed with the quality of the fairways, with numerous areas of dirt/no grass and a lot of weeds. A few greens had dead spots but most of them were in ok shape, albeit on the slow side. Tee boxes seem to have taken a beating but you can manage to find a spot to plant your tee. Price was good, company was excellent, beverages were outstanding, shot a great (untidy) round; just disappointed with the conditions and I'll skip for the remainder of the year and give it a try next year.

The legal process started in Mid-July ...... https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local...ta-golf-course
You always hit a good shot on 18 to keep you coming back.

Played Hammond last week and agree about the conditions. Great workout for seniors walking and excellent price. I will return in the fall as the leaves begin to change as I'm sure the views are spectacular.

You think that’s bad; a couple of weeks ago my foursome was chastised for playing too fast! The group in front complained about us, not for hitting into them which we weren’t but rather, keeping up with them and waiting on every shot. We were told we were making them uncomfortable.
That and the fact that power cart users were made to write out their credit card numbers on a little slip of paper and give it the starter. Not cool.

Some courses just don't get customer experience and service. I personally do not care about people behind me as long as I am keeping pace with the group in front of me. That is a ridiculous request from that course, wow. I am surprised though, usually they are pretty good.

Playing too fast? That’s a good one. Never heard that before. If people keep up with the group in front of them they should not worry about the group behind them. If these people cannot stand being followed they sho7ld pick another sport.

Played Falcon Ridge this am and the greens were punched and sanded. Greens were terrible and staff didn’t remove the debris from punching

i also played Oaks last week and agree with you, we played Whitetail the day before and the starter told us we would be pretty disappointed and we were, i love the lay out of the course but just the greens and fairways need to be worked on. The best condition hole i thought was 18. BTW what campground are you at, we are staying at Logo's land on long weekend, only campground we could get.

Played a twilight at the Canadian a couple days ago. Conditions were OK except for the greens which were punched and sanded. That wasn't the worst part though.
It was about 20 minutes to sunset and the marshal comes around and orders us off the course. We only had a couple holes left. Tried to take down our names but we refused. I was right pissed and have never been kicked off of a course due to the darkness - you simply stop playing when it gets too dark. I won't be back there ever again with power hungry old men marshals like that. Pathetic.

Played Greensmere Premier on Tuesday. Greens are great as always, very fast. I guess they got a larger dumping of rain than I did on Monday night because there was A LOT of standing water and puddles on the front nine. The back was a bit drier (which is weird because it sits lower). Bunkers were soaked and basically impossible to hit out of.
Played Kingsway last Thursday and it's in pretty good shape overall. Greens, while slow, are at least rolling nice and in very good shape. Fairways are mixed grass and who knows what, but they are green and trimmed so I can't complain too much.While I'd like to play better, I have zero interest in practicing.

From the information I heard at my home course, due to Covid, courses have to have all golfers off the property by a certain time of day...before it gets dark. At my home course, during high season (July/August) all golfers had to be off by 8:45pm or else there could be a huge fine.
