Went to Pakenham this morning and was great. Greens were not bad for time of year and fairways were not that bad either. Little wet under the shoes but overall not a bad walk.

Played Eagle Creek this afternoon, and with the exception of aeration marks on the green, the course is very good for opening weekend. A lot of the fairways are greening up already, and although there are a few mould spots, they were pretty plush already. Carts were out, and the fairways were dry and firm. First time out there since the clubhouse was built. Nice shack!

Prescott
Had 2 rounds at Prescott Golf club (I know, off the beaten track a bit). Remarkably good conditions, particularly the greens which were fairly fast and some tough reads and positions. Course wasn't wet at all (some spongy moments, that's it). And great green fee: $25 (til about May, I hear).

Champlain
Has anyone been here lately? Is it starting to dry up?

I'm playing Champlain Saturday at 8:07 will report back when I'm done but from what I've read doesn't sound too promising.

Casselview
Anyone played Casselview in the last couple days, I got a tee off Sunday morning and was wondering are the fairway still very wet and did they removed all the tarp of the green.

Casselview almost inevitably wet at this point...
I played Casselview at around this time last year and it was VERY soggy. I'm told it's built on a clay base and has very bad drainage at this time of year. Unless I hear they are letting carts out anywhere (not just on cart paths) I won't go out because it will be too wet and not much fun.
I like walking but I don't like being wet up to the knees. So when the carts don't sink in, I know I can walk.

Cloverdale
Played Cloverdale on Friday. A little soggy but overall not bad. The greens were slow and a little bumpy, but for this time of year in pretty good shape.

The fairways are still very poor, but I understand that they have solved some of their water problems so improved conditioning should occur this year.

Well played Champlain this morning at 8, and it was WET!!! Fairways are soggy, and the greens are rough, but ok. All in all it's playable but not great. 38.00$ green fee plus you get a free weekday round before May 14th.
The hotdogs between 10 & 11 were great!

Mapleview in great shape!
Just got back from Mapleview - it rained all the way there but it stopped as soon as we hit the first tee. The greens are in great shape - not punched and are running at a decent speed and as true as possible at this time of year.
There are a few soggy spots but I'd say it's 80-90% dry.
Definitely worth the drive at this time of year!

Canadian
Played Canadian on Friday - very playable - not too soggy - no temps - some greens still had aeration holes - some didn't but all were playable for early April (just a little slow, so play less break and bang it).
Only complaint may be the full fare (which came with a 2 for 1 coupon to be used before the May long weekend). So really its a 3 for 2 coupon.

Manerley
The greens at Manderley are absolutely wonderful. They've been mowed three times and it shows. The ball rolls, not hops, to the target when putted. This is preferable to paying an inflated rate to play at a course where the greens are punched, bumpy and uncut.

Casselview
I played Casselview on Saturday morning and it was pretty wet in places, but the course was in decent shape for this time of year. Unfortunately, the course got significantly wetter while I was there and I did not get to see any of the holes after #13. The course plays pretty short at this time of year and there were tarps on some of the greens.
Despite the rain, it was a fun round. No carts and $29 per round.

I'm confused. You say the course was in decent shape, however you did not see any holes after #13 and the course was very wet. Doesn't sound like it was worth the $29 bones.
Sounds as though they should not have been open if theu y still had tarps on the greens.

Casselview
Played Casselview Sunday and it was not bad for mid april. Power carts were out, no temp and no tarps on the greens. Wet in places but very playable. But most holes had alt tee box.

Iroquois
Played Iroquois this morning, and the course was in good shape. Greens and tee boxes were very good - best I've played on this spring. Fairways were a little spongy (resulting a lot of plugged balls), but without any casual water and not many bare spots or winter kill either. Carts were allowed on the course. Some construction of new drainage ditches, etc being done, so just treat as GUR. Weekend green fee was only $20 - great value! Hardly anyone on the course, either.
Passed by Cloverdale on the way home. Haven't played it yet this year, but it LOOKED to be in fantastic condition.[COLOR=green][B]Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of bagpipes.[/B][/COLOR]

Going out to Dragonfly (near Renfrew) tomorrow. They've been open for 3 weeks and are reported to have the best conditions in the area. To make it even better, they're offering $20 for all you can play.
This course is very well maintained, always cheap ($34 on weekends), and very fun to play. It's well worth the 50 minute drive.
36 holes, here we come!
