Royal Woodbine Golf Club

Wear your hardhat and keep low. Our group was fortunate to escape Royal Woodbine with only PTSD. Two errant balls flew over head while we were on the tee block and one line drive bounded between our group as we left a green.

The narrow confines of the course, coupled with a presumably large number of first time players make for an exciting experience. This track is not for the faint of heart.

Had not played this course in 10-15 years. Obviously, Covid-19 has changed the protocol and that was fine.

Course layout was the same as always but the green conditions were different than I remembered. The first 9 holes green speeds seemed fairly slow but the back 9 were much quicker - not sure why. Pace of play was great at first - 8 holes completed in one hour. Then ran into the backlog - 2 groups only who would not move over. That made the round take the better part of 4+ hours. Considering the heat (35 degrees Celsius) it was a little extreme and not good for golfing tempo. At a cost of close to $100.00 (Canadian) I won't likely be back any time soon. Must say that my playing partner was great !!!

Fairways were in horrible conditions so patchy and yellow. Ball was bouncing like it was hitting concrete. Also course directions need to be added as holes are confusing have some signs or some spray paint on the cart path. Absolutely not worth 92$ was so disappointed

Always enjoy the challenge of this course. And this year the course is in the best shape I have seen it in years.
