Pickering Glen Golf Club

For the late time in the golf season the course was pristine.

As a weekend golfer visiting Pickering Glen Golf Course for the first time, I was thoroughly impressed. The course layout struck the perfect balance for someone like me—challenging enough to keep things interesting, but not so tough that it felt overwhelming. Each hole had its own unique feel, and the scenery was a pleasant surprise. What really stood out was the friendly service, especially the amazing cart girl, who was so pleasant and made the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, I felt right at home, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Painfully slow pace of play. Numerous groups we intersected with had same complaint.

I used to play this course every week when it was called Glen Cedars, this course is as good now as it was then, love it, just a tad expensive.

I’ve played here a couple of times and while I enjoy the course I’ve always gotten a bad vibe as a young female golfer in the clubhouse (I’ve literally been ignored standing directly in front of a pro shop worker while he talked over me head to older male members). I can brush the misogyny off though so that’s fine.

My breaking point today and why will never spend another dollar at this course. I decided last minute to play a round by myself, so I check their tee times and there was not a single tee time booked from 1:12-2pm. I booked my tee time as a double as Chronogolf does not allow single bookings. Important to keep in mind that if I’m booking a single I make sure to book at a time that is completely empty.

Upon arrival, I time the already seemingly miserable guy that it would just be myself, he said “well you can’t golf as a single. I’ll have to add you to a pair”. When I stated that there wasn’t a single tee time booked for the next 45 minutes and if that was the case then he can forget it and I’ll leave. He asked “well why did you book for 2?” To which I told him the website doesn’t let me book for 1 person…his response was “exactly”. I started to walk out and told him that he didn’t need to be so rude about it.

If you’re a single golfer…forget about it. If you’re a female and not a member then you better not expect friendliness from the staff. Even if this was a rule or policy that actually made sense, the way that I was greeted and spoken to today was rude, disrespectful and completely uncalled for. Save your money and go up the road to the numerous other golf courses that respect ALL golfers.

The course was in good shape despite a heavy rain earlier in the afternoon. It drained well and only a few areas near cart paths had large puddles. It didn’t affect play. It is traditional 1960s course, tree lined airways with water hazards coming into play on many holes. A beautiful but fair course that I would recommend to any level of golfer.

The golf course was very well maintained. Greens n fairways were in very good condition. Roughs were cut short, making it easier to locate the ball and quicken the pace of play. Check in was super quick and had to thank Mike for arranging an earlier tee off time due to our schedule change. This is the course that I saw the Marshall many times to check the pace which was excellent. Today was hot and the beverage cart was always around. Overall, the course was in very good condition and the staff very friendly n polite making it a very enjoyable day.
