Afternoon golf

We were in a foursome enjoying our day until catching up to a group of six on the fourth hole. They did not motion us to play through and it was annoying waiting for them to play. On the tenth hole a staff member stopped and asked us how the day was going. We explained the problem and the group ahead was immediately told to let us play through on the eleventh hole. The rest of the round was fine. I know the staff was unaware of the group of six and we were pleased to see them take quick action to solve the problem.

Disappointing Overall

The course itself is in an attractive rural setting. However, it misses many requirements of a real golf course. The putting greens are in rough shape and overall a poor course layout . The staff mowing the greens were going around and around in circles obstructing play in a way that made no sense. They had staff driving a half ton truck on the golf cart path on #11 while we were in play. No sense of golf etiquette.

Hilly, bumpy fairways.

My back could not take the bumpy fairways and the more bumpy cart paths. Quit after 6 holes. Never again.

Very narrow and challenging

Excellent course, very challenging with driver, too much so for my play level, but lots of balls in bag, so still good experience. Biggest downside was the bugs. they could have carried me away if they put their minds to it

Bring Bug Spray (Lots!!)

Played on a beautiful sunny day. Course is quite challenging with lots of elevation changes. Some fairways are very narrow.Couple of holes had temporay greens due to damage from severe winter.
Blackflies were so bad on back nine they almost chased us of the course.
If you going to play bring LOTS of an effective bug repellent.

True Value

Just a great place to play, challenging but yet made for the average golfer to have fun Playing!!!!!! The last hole at over 600 yards makes you want to come back and beat it.

Early Spring

I have golfed this course many (many) times and I am a huge fan of the elevation changes, difficulty and overall variety of holes. The course just opened for the season but honestly they need to close half of their greens and make temporary ones to not do further damage. The cottages are amazing and there is great value in the stay and play packages. Generally speaking though I feel like they need to take it up a notch in their care for the course and their customer service. I will keep coming back unless either of the two negatives mentioned above get worse.

Great Layout,heinous greens

Great course layout, worst condition I have ever seen greens in. I really enjoy the layout and views, its spectacular, however the greens were in utter disrepair. Looks like the greens were not tarped for the winter. Greens were not playable on most holes. I would highly recommend this course if the greens are fixed later in the season if they do not recover I wouldn't waste a dime on it.

Outstanding place to play

I've played this course a fair number of times but this was my first through golfnow and it was a steal of a deal! The course is in great shape and the greens roll true. The grounds are well kept, the wildlife on the course is nice to see and the staff is some of the friendliest in the province.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful golf course. Had a great time! Went with brother in law and 2 nephews and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day! 13 year old went golfing for the first time. Lost a few balls on the tight narrow holes!

Very scenic

Well kept course. Greens receive your balls well. Fairways look to have great drainage using the slope of the terrain.Great bang for your buck. Wished I had of known about their play and stay packages would have taken advantage since I was traveling .
Your own personal cabins would be your accommodations.
I would definitely recommend this golf course.

Would like to see it in the sun....Overall great course

We had booked the night before on GolfNow. Got the round for 57 dollars including cart. Couldn't beat the price! Played with the Father-In-Law and the Uncle. All of us were from Ontario, and had never played here, however for 57 bucks and close to Chester, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg, you can't beat it.
