Super Par 3 course

As wife and son are learning.. this course is perfect. Reasonably well maintained and nice layout.

Great for beginners. Just a little expensive.

Temple course

Overall lovely par 3 courses however held up by a few groups ahead of use and a few groups right behind us. Maybe tee times to close to each other. A lot of the tee boxes could do with a bit of a refresh. But overall a nice course to play staff super friendly as always.

pitchmark city

still winter golf conditions, so mats on the tee boxes (quite a few of these would need replaced, thread bare in places) a few moved quite far forward. a little soggy in places. pace of play was fine until the 15th/16th when it got backed up. worst part of the day were the greens. serious work needed due to the amount of unrepaired pitchmarks. alot were fresh, alot were very old. only takes a second to repair one, don’t understand why people can’t do that. on their fb page seems like alot of investment has gone into the hamilton course, would be nice to see them take care of the temple as it is a well laid out par3 course
