Played the Marshes on Friday. Course was very dry and carts were allowed on the course (no restrictions). Greens were in good shape, very puttable. (just a few of last years aeration holes visible but didn't really affect the putts.)
$85. + tax was a bit pricey for this time of year, but worth it considering the course and the beautiful weather.

Just finished at Pakenham and the course was in really good shape. Not too many fairways were wet and for the most part the greens rolled very well. Would have been a lot better if I didn't get drilled 4&2 by Adam (adska) but when the guy shoots 72, can't be too upset with losing.
Pace of play was pretty good too, about 4:20 which is great on a Saturday this beautiful.

Just played Mountain Creek today and was pleasantly surprised by its condition. No wet spots where I remember them from previous first weekend starts in past years. Greens not as fast as mid-summer but fairly true. I was pleased with the whole experience (well, maybe with the exception of my score!) and am returning tomorrow... I picked up a membership today - something I've been contemplating the last few years.

Played the Marshes today it was very dry, never had a wet lie anywhere, except in the hazard(s) . Bunkers were dry and in mid season shape. Greens were a bit bumpy but I didn't see any major winter kill on them. Really enjoyed my first round of the year with my son and a couple of friends, especially the front nine. Glad there was a nice breeze otherwise may have been too hot, NOT. As stated earlier, $85 + tax includes cart, no restrictions, plus range balls. Played in less than 4 hours.

played casselview today, not much new from the updates earlier in the thread. Greens are decent, a little bumpy but greens are very sticky. Very Dry, Carts on cart path only and very busy.

Made the trip up to Renfrew today, and the course wintered great. Greens were obviously a little slow on the uphill putts, but ran pretty darn true. If anything, the course needs a good soak, judging by some of the rolls that drives took today. Think we played in just under 4 & 1/2 hours.
Not sure what they're charging because we booked through CG, but I'd recommend giving them a call if you're up for taking a little drive.Let's put a Smile on that Face!

I paid $48 and change for green fee + cart @ Renfrew.
Beautiful day, and I had a few nice drives... the rest of the game, well... lets just say I had an excellent cost-per-stroke ratio
Course was in great shape for opening weekend, the back 9 especially was greening up nicely! Bunkers had lots of fresh sand in them - i think I played more shots from the sand today than I did all last year.
Like Hoolio said, if anything the course would benefit from a little bit of rain, not that I'm complaining about the conditions in the slightest!Wannabe Golf

I got sucked into playing 18 at Raceview today, greens were in really nice condition. Fairways were also relatively green and in good shape.
Though it was nice to work on my approach irons.Last edited by Kilroy; 04-04-2010 at 05:47 PM.

Cloverdale Links - Soggy
We played Cloverdale on Saturday. Greens were spring slow, but in very good condition. Fairways were very wet. Lost 2 balls due to severe plugging. No carts, due to the wet conditions (even the cart paths were sloppy and mud).
I normally enjoy this track, but IMHO, I would avoid for now or bring your Dry-Vac.

The Grove
Had 2 hours of free time this morning so I decided to venture out to Poplar Grove since I knew I could play 18 in a short time. All I can say is its the usual conditions, but at least its dry for Spring golf. There was only one other group on the course, so if you want to practice and play 18 in 2 hours, its the place to go.
Slice, hook, or straight down the middle. It all looks the same on the score card.

Thought we were playing Buckingham this morning but got the directions wayyyy screwed up so we ended up at Tecumseh and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the conditions!! Course was dry and the greens were running slow but true. I would go back!

A sign of things to come!!!!!
Played Les Vieux Moulins today. The greens were brutal and the fairways were so dried that I thought we were playing in the middle of August!!! It's the first time I get back there since they started to do some housing development around the course. It looks far better than a few years ago when I used to be a member there.
I played very nice today and posted an easy 72! I couldn't save a par when I missed a green (it's kind of hard to be consistent on a Plinko board!) but made birdies on each par fives except the last hole... despite a drive down the middle It really felt nice to be outside and to play that good. I hope this is a good sign...

Cloverdale conditions
Played Cloverdale today, and found the greens slow but in very good shape. Course was a little on the soggy side. I walked but could still easily avoid the odvious wet spots.
Cost $42.00 with no additional deals.Made man

Yes Big Easy, Les Vieux is in need of the rain this week. They need to do something to get the greens to fill in.

Anyone happen to get out to Cedarhill? Might scoot out after work on Friday if the weather takes a turn for the better, but don't want to deal with temps like they had for a while last year.
Also, Stonebridge is looking pretty nice from what I can see driving around the area. Greens and fairways are turing a nice shade of green. Unfortunately CG decided not to have them in the portfolio this year, so its just a big tease to me.Let's put a Smile on that Face!

Played 9 holes on the West course today at the Hunt - didn't know it was going to open until I got there!
Dry as a bone, and in great shape. The greens were a touch on the slow side, but running smooth.

Manderley (Central North) is in the best condition I have ever seen it on the first week. No significant winter kill or snow mould to speak of. Greens are running true, but a tad slow.
Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.
