The course is in excellent condition and lot's of water but not really in play. If you play safe you can avoid the hazards. Greens in excellent condition but fast and very challenging, makes for a great round. A must play course.

So I'll start by saying this was my first round at this track so I think maybe playing it more times may yeild better results but there were a few things I'd point out about this round. First off staff were fantastic friendly and courteous. The tee blocks were is decent enough shape but the blue tees we played from had several holes with very uneven tee ups. Fairways and greens were very playable altho fairly inconsistent from hole to hole ranging from spongy to lightning fast. Few curious pin placements namely on 9 where the pin was cut on a down slope approx 3 feet from the fringe leading to a rough valley. Just seemed the most unnecessarily challenging spot I've seen. Overall pace was solid conditions were good and the course was challenging. Just a few things that kind of wrecked it for me off the tees and a few odd pin spots and inconsistent rolling greens. On a different day of the year alot of this might not be an issue but at nearly 90 bux a round I'd golf elsewhere for sure.

After a one hour forty minute drive from Richmond Hill to Milton via the 401 in rush hour, I was 5 to 10 minutes late. I paid, but the staff told me as I missed my tee time he would “ fit me in , if there was an opening. I explained the long, frustrating drive, but the staff person did not appreciate I made my best effort. This added to my frustration. Luckily, once outside, the starter said there was an opening but to ensure we keep up pace of play, and not fall behind. Due to all this stress, the first five or six holes were frustrating and I felt like leaving. I didn’t but I felt if the staff were more understanding, I would have enjoyed the experience more.

It is a beautiful course. The layout offers a challenging forest type course with lots of water & traps to keep you on your toes. I would recommend the course, but not if you have tee time during rush hour and you are coming from Toronto or York Region at that time. The staff might try to be more welcoming & understanding if someone is a few minutes late.

Great course a little pricey but the course is well kept

Overall rating was average only due to the fact that course conditions were very wet & cart paths only. The course should offer either a slight discount or a minimal food voucher for conditions like this.

The course was okay. Lots of water and mud to deal with. The greens were very slick! This was my first time playing the course and my second time playing a Kaneff owned property (Century Pines Previously...loves it!). For $180 plus taxes for two golfers at this course wasn’t worth the price point! Additionally, pre-round practice range wasn’t even open for the season.

Love this course and would play it more often but everytime we play the pace of play is incedibly slow. Too bad.

The overall experience was ok...but just ok. Not sure if it's a $100 course. The staff was fantastic bit the course conditions weren't what they should be.

This is the first time I play here in 3 years.

The green is little bit beat up, otherwise the course is nice.

I always have a great time playing here.

Staff are always nice.

The foursome in front of us are slow, it give me more time to think about my shots.

I shot 79 on Monday, my best score on this course .

I am very happy

Not sure if it’s the caliber of golfer they attract or what the reason is but I have never seen so many unfixed ball marks on the green and unfilled divots in the fairway.

New this year...they are clearly in trouble financially because they didn’t bother to join the Golf Canada program, so you can’t actually enter your score for handicap purposes. I’ve been golfing in the GTA for 30+ years and have never encountered this. Won’t go back for that reason alone.

Spend $15 more and go down the road and play Piper’s Heath. Much better experience from start to finish.

Some of the green Marshalls had very bad attitude as if questioning why we were there. Absolutely NOT friendly, nor helpful. For example, after the first nine holes on a very hot day, a green Marshall refused to let us (including my gest from overseas) to eat something and had a drink before starting the back nine. He did not even allow us to go to buy a beer or water to carry to the back nine. When a lady eventually showed up at the 6 hole selling refreshment. We purchased couple of beer and two cold towels. One of the towels was very dirty and smelly, and another one was smelly. The lady refused our request to exchange a clean towel for guest. What kind of services was that. A total Disappointment!

Golf Now shows this course as rated, Well, they didn't pay their subscription to Golf Ontario, so they are no longer rated and anyone with a handicap CANNOT POST THEIR SCORE

GolfNow should remove the following 'rating/slope' information, because it is no longer valid and is misleading to anyone who plays it based on this information, as it no longer shows as a course in Golf Canada or USGA listings.

Superb golf course! Back Tee's play longer than the yardage. You must hit fairways here or you have no chance of playing well. All Par 3's are challenging. Awesome layout! Par 4's offer some birdie opportunities and a good mix of short target tee shot's and some require a 280-300 yard drive from the tips. Course conditions superb! Greens are comfortable speed and consistent. Got a $60 w cart hotdeal on golfnow. The course is worth $100. Highly recommended!

Arrived for our 10:40am tee off about 15 minutes early. Had a great chat with the starter who was an Olympic Medalist and Rose Bowl Champ!

Teed off and it was like our private course. Group ahead kept a great pace and nobody behind us in view. It was hot so that kept the fair weather golfers away I guess. Great cart service, course was is top shape, my wife and I played 18 with carts in 3hours 40 and I shot 92; awesome day!
