Great course. Great pace. Would play again
Really nice course in very good condition with a fun layout. A bit tight, but great challenge. Some tough downhill distances. Greens were decadent shape and rolled pretty good.
Getting Better Each Time Out…
Third time out on the course, with staff very friendly and open to suggestions and feedback, including making sure the range actually has balls stocked (and how about washing them?). The course is quite interesting and picturesque, and the advent of new electric carts with GPS, a very pleasant experience.
Awesome layout.
Great track that makes you think. True greens. Always a pleasure to play.
Lots of goose poop
5 or 6 of the holes were covered in an insane amount of goose poop, didn’t find the course to be in overly great shape. Beautiful scenery but at the price point that it’s at id expect a lot more
Late afternoon delight
After a wonderful lunch at Antlers, we tee'd off at 4.
No one in front or behind us, we played our own pace, consistently quick greens, lots of sand and the occasional found ball. Beautiful vistas and perfect fairways with the occasional water hazard combined for a zen-like experience.
Then the unhurried drive back to Markham.
A perfect Saturday.
Awesome value
Excellent views, great layout and awesome greens. If you can take advantage of hot deals plus some discounts, it is then well worth the price compared to other courses of similar caliber. Always come back to this course so that should tell you something.
Great course but…
Great course design and conditions! But could use some attention to detail… no starter, mediocre practice range, no practice green, no ball washers, no divot repair sand & seed bottle, no score card or club washer on cart
