The back nine should be dry with maybe a few moist holes on the front after yesterday's rain. With the greens cut, you will make some putts as they were not aerated last fall. But frankly, I have only seen a few holes on Premiere during my walks out there as I spent most of my time walking Legacy straightening up the hazard stakes, so an overall assessment is just a guess. Traditionally, we have little or no ice or fungus damage. Like every other course, we need some 20*C plus days to get some growth started.

I can confirm for Vieux moulins. It was so bad I couldn't get the ball to the hole no matter what. You had to ram it from 5 feet and get a proper bounce.

Stonebridge Twitter "Opening day has been pushed back to Tuesday April 29th. Tee times starting at 7:30."
I was thinking about checking out Chateau Cartier since Stonebridge is a no go. They have a special on: Before may 31 (2 for the price of 1 green-fee)
Never played so if there are any reviews it would be appreciated.

equinelle pushed back to May 1st....it looks pretty green though.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

Its a pretty decent course, I would recommened it for 1/2 price. Not sure how the conditions would be this early. I dont think I played there last year though, but have good memories of it. There is one hole on the back 9 that is a pretty tricky par 3, green is at about 50 yds above tee off.

Chateau Cartier fairways where very wet today. No fun hitting irons but the greens where exceptional for this time of year. Hope it dries up soon.

Played the front 9 at Renfrew last evening. The course is very dry, the greens are very green and smooth. I wore new spikeless shoes and they were dry and like new afterwards.

@Bogey, not sure if you've played it in the last 2 years or so, but they have completely torn the place apart. That 17th hole you speak of it gone (not too upset about that), but there are a couple of par 3s under 100 yards, a couple of par 5s under 450 yards, some weirdly long walks between greens and tees. It's a perfect example of how real estate has impacted course layout. They literally tore some holes apart in order to fit the golf course around their ever-expanding resort. Very disappointing in my opinion.

Metcalfe greens are excellent. Fairways on front nine a bit damp at spots, back nine much better.

wow I dont think I recall these changes so maybe its longer than I thought since I played there....it used to be a great course, I will think about other options now. thanks guys...for $25 I would be okay for early season golf, but still dissapointing for the prices they charge mid season especially!

Played Cedarhill today. Fairways were a little soft but the greens were in awesome shape. Good times had by all.

Weather
I was taking a look at the long term forecast and we are in for a cool spring, it does not look like we will get over 20° until the long weekend in May, WTF????

Given that half of CC is either at or almost below the level of the river (especially this time of year), of course it's going to be wet. Given the current water levels in the river, I'm surprised the holes the river side of Lucerne are even open....

The other factor is the depth of the frozen ground this year, not helping. I guess the decision to open is always tricky balancing getting revenue vs providing a decent golf experience.

Played Greensmere today. Only Premiere open right now and it was surprising how dry it was. Sure there are some wet areas on the front 9 but the back is bone dry. Carts were out but not to go on the fairways as there are a few on the front that carts would leave some tracks. Greens overall rolled good and there are a few with some winter damage but should recover and green up if we ever get some warm weather. The fairways have really greened up in the last few days and were in great shape. I think I only moved the ball a few time during the whole round and mostly because of some casual water. Great to be back out there playing.

Played Chateau Cartier again and what a difference from Wednesday. Dried up nicely, a few damp spots but hey, greens are still very nice, not fast though.
