Local course conditions

[Gobble_It]

Canadian , not near as good this week as last. Several scorched areas on the course, & some aprons and tee boxes must have been cut by a rookie , cut far too short. $25 for 1/2 a cart is a bit over the top... bone dry course forcing carts on cart path only for some par 4's is also a PITA. They had me locked in after last week , not so much now. Only really good thing was pace of play , 3:45 four players riding. Greens are in good shape but still on the slow side

Most courses in Ottawa need some rain. With this current heat wave, soon we will be playing on dirt fairways. At Champlain, pretty much all fairways are completely scorched. Greens and tee boxes are still decent though.

Mapleview is dealing with this heat pretty well, still has decent fairways and the greens are rolling well. Rain would be a good thing though.

Rain would be a good thing though.

Agreed. Metcalfe is holding up because they have been watering like crazy, but there are some scorched areas on the original course.

Brockville CC yesterday was very green. They must be watering like crazy. Rough was thick and punishing. course is in great shape.

Has anyone played there lately ? What is the condition this year?
Thanks

eQuinelle is absolutely mint. Greens, fairways, tee boxes are about as good as it gets.

So far three local courses have been ranked in Score Golf’s top 100 courses this year. Eagle Creek, Camelot and Royal Ottawa are all on the list. Updates are being posted three times a week as they count down to number one.

Certainly a notch above the other public courses locally. Nowhere near as good as it gets, but definitely really good among the local competition.

LOL, thanks Jeff. I thought only I was stubborn enough to do this more than once.

played as a guest at Camelot not long ago and Rivermead which is far better than Camelot..my 2 cents

[leftylucas]

I like Rivermead, played it 2x, played well, maybe that's why I like it so much!

I played Camelot most recently last year and I could see how the course would leave the player with either a really good or really bad impression. The back nine is basically unwalkable. Some of the holes are really strong and others leave you scratching your head. Course conditions last year weren’t great. I’m actually shocked it’s considered a top 100 course in Canada, mind you it’s 5 times better then eagle creek

6:30 tee time at Kingsway this morning to get done before the 100 Degrees sets in again..wow was impressed with the greens,maybe best I have seen this year...

[big mac]

Played Casselview today everything you should be playing on was perfect great greens---green lush fairways--- bunkers all smooth mowed under 75% of the trees -- 10 minute t-times well organized. Missed the "old fart" price which is Monday and Tuesday but what the hell---- 67.00 with your own cart at 11 am Kudos to the management

You can always go for a dip in a pond if it gets too hot

Although it isn’t an Ottawa course, Black Bear Ridge is still within 2 hours and has seen a nice jump this year into the top 60. This is a fantastic course that combines great conditions with a really fun/challenging layout. I would highly recommend playing if you haven’t already

[golfguy4867]

Agree - Trillium next door also a great looking course and a little more "user friendly.

Really?

You are not wrong about Rivermead being better than Camelot. Camelot is on the list because it is designed by McBroom. All the back nine is missing are a few windmills.

Well that was brutal !! This is the warmest i have ever played golf and not the best idea i ever had.lol. Le Sorcier was in good shape although the greens where slow.
