An Easy Walk
The good: nice open layout, plenty of drinking water on the course, good pace of play, trees near the driving range provide nice shade while warming up
The not so good: although the staff was nice to me, I witnessed the starter being a complete jerk to another golfer for no good reason. The other golfer put his bag on a cart that was between the golf shop and starter after paying. The starter lost his cool and rudely yelled at the golfer about checking in with him before grabbing a cart. A simple “hey, check in with me so I can assign you a cart” would have sufficed, but the starter must have needed to feel important. The rest of the staff was great.

1st Time at Algonkian
Very pleasant experience and the track was in very good shape for a public course. Pace of play was perfect. Food n beverage selection and service post round needs work.

First 18 holes played as a beginner
We played this course and enjoyed a great day of golf. Considering all the rain the past 9 days the course was in very good condition - it is already a well maintained course with challenging holes. We haven’t experienced many courses per se, we loved this course the best thus far in our golf journey..
