Just a mess
Had to clean our own carts with their disinfectant cleaner
No direction on what course to start at
Very slow play, overbooked
Fairway grass cut like rough
Sandtraps or should I say overgrown weed traps
Putting greens all burnt and hard as rock
Flag poles broken/ not even sitting staight/ ripped flags just junk
Not even a twilight rate at our 430 teetime
Just don't waste your money, won't be going there again. Way overpriced for what it is.
Bantys is a roost
Worst greens I’ve seen at this course; like putting on pile carpet.
okay, but still needs work
The 3rd 9 (white course) was closed today, as it should have been last week when we played. It was in terrible shape, and needs work to bring it up to a playable level. The blue and red courses are in pretty good shape, but there are still yardage markers missing, and the one on Blue#1 for 100 yards, doesn't seem to be in the right place for the actual distance (unless the 150 marker is wrong. Overall we had an enjoyable round.
Banty's Roost Golf Course
As we are still in "lockdown" status due to Covid-19 virus the conditions at this course are similar to all courses.
All green fees are the same for any time during the day and this has brought out a steady group of golfers.
Course is in need of work and greens are particularly slow. Layout is fairly basic with a few holes worthy of note. It's a good place to play "practice" rounds which is what I use it for.
The worst course
Wow... this course is in terrible conditions. From the tee boxes to fairways and greens, an absolute mess!!! Please save your money and do no waste your time there, this course is not worth the money you pay for it.
Confusing Course
Course layout isn’t great. Bunkers are not maintained multiple stakes were missing and the greens weren’t taken care of.
Horrible!
Where to start!
Course I guess-
Sand traps were like concrete
Greens were brown
Fairways were unkept
Roughs were like fescue
Fringes were soaked.
They don’t care to upkeep this at all
Pace-
They don’t understand how online booking works- so many groups double booked. Pay $65.00 and tat one or 5 there were SIX GROUPS!! 1 on the green, 1 chipping, 1 on the fairway, 1 on tee box, 2 waiting behind tee box. Marshall’s driving around but they don’t care
Amenities-
Worst of all- no where prior to arrival does it say NO ALCOHOL, even when you register someone ought to tell you THEY DONT HAVE A LIQUOR LICENSE! Sorry but no pros are going to Banty Roost- it’s guys looking to enjoy a beer and play golf. And you can’t do either there
I used to play this track 5-6 times a season! This was my first of 2020 and my last ever! New owners clearly don’t care. Probably developers using the next summer or two to milk what they can before turning it into a subdivision
Worst course in Ontario
This is by far the worst course I have ever played. I played Saturday and had Sunday booked from earlier this week. During my round Saturday, I tried to cancel my Sunday booking but was unable. The course was not maintained, was told by employee that the maintenance crew did not come back from the year before. There is no organization and they have no idea what courses people are playing. There were 15 minute waits on each hole. I went on Sunday and waited 45 minutes to get a cart, got my money back. I have golfed here previous years but it has completely gone to crap.
What happened?
I used to play this course for years. The price is not worth it. There is no dress code even though they say their is. The course is in shambles. They are stacking everyone on the course just trying to make a buck. No bunkers no water in the water traps. The course is not evenly cut. Also not COVID ready at all. The Marshall said he cleaned out cart at arrival we found cigarette butts in the cart. The cart also died on us and there was sorry or anything just a ohh well from the staff. Don’t play this course if you like or love golf it’s the worst it is like playing on the Toronto public golf courses except I expect them to be terrible this was disgusting. Never Again and the sad thing is we played twilight hours and it’s still not worth the money at all.
Expected worse
Read the reviews before we went and I was fearing the worst. Overall it was in ok shape, fairways pretty good, but greens need a lot of work.
Considering we paid $25 for 9 holes, I can't complain too much. I'd do that again.
Full price for 18 holes? Zero chance.
This course has a ton of potential and always seems to run into poor management issues. Hopefully one day it'll live up to its potential.
Poor time management
Either they are the worst time management course or are taking advantage of people. Have to apologize to the other comments, we should have listened. We called 3 days ago, and asked about tee times and conditions, lady told us everything was wide open and the course was in great shape, so we gambled. Got there waited in line for 30 minutes to pay (which was 15 past our tee time) to find out it was another hour wait to tee off regardless of cart or walking. Luckily we didn't pay and just left....never to return again. Listen people, only go if you are gonna tee off first thing, otherwise...........
