Muggy day, beautiful course

The wife and I played this course for the first time. The area had gotten a decent amount of rain leading up to our round. When we arrived the driving range was closed to the rain. Gentleman behind the desk was short acting with the wife and food choices were minimal. When I went to talk to the gentleman about our cart he said he didn’t know what cart we’d use yet because we were 30 minutes early to our tee time and he wouldn’t know until about 15 minutes til. So about 15 til our tee time he called me over and showed me the cart and he loaded our bags.

The course itself was really nice, it was cart path only which sucks, but totally understandable because the fairways were pretty soggy. But fairways were nice, greens rolled great and it was a challenging layout. Back 9 is definitely more tight and you have to pick your spots and course knowledge would be a huge help.

Overall we enjoyed the course and definitely would play it again.

cart path day

The over night rainfall made it a cart path only day, due to some wet fairways. The greens were in great shape, not so much bunkers, puddles in quite a few.

The slow group infront allowed our group to play through after maybe seven, and with nothing in front it was a three and a half hour round

The starter was super rude. They claimed range balls were included and we had to pay. The greens were terrible. Fairways were bare ways.

Hidden gem

When I saw the course rate I didn’t expect it to be that nice. I was wrong!

Best greens Ive played in Brunswick area this spring. Great layout too, challenging yet score able.

Food and drink prices are good too.

I will definitely be going back. . . .

You Get What You Pay For

I got a good price on Golfnow. It was very affordable for the area. The staff was friendly, the driving range was nice, and the bar looked decent. The course was really not in good condition. The greens did not roll true and were inconsistent. The rough and parts of the fairway were lumpy, tufts of grass between hardpan. The bunkers were the worst of it. Thick, hard sand that looked like it was pulled from a beach. No one seemed to rake, and some bunkers didn’t even have rakes. If you don’t care about these things and just want to hack, are a beginner, and just want a good price then you might not mind. But there are many much better courses in the area.

A pleasant surprise to our foursome from NS Canada. We were greeted with professional demeanour and an atmosphere that made us to decide to plan for more times to play this course. The stories we heard of the course director and his contributions to young golfers is impressive, something not heard of often enough.

The course provides many challenges and a design that keeps the golfer engaged with shot planning and interest.
