Oliver's Nest Golf and Country Club

Course was in great shape for this time of year... pleasantly surprised! Played slow.... almost 5 hours to complete. Was discouraged with many bunkers not even raked once yet this year but greens and t-offs in great shape!

a bit wet but they allowed us a 90 degree with the carts something most other courses would be cart path only.
Considering the course was closed for most of last year and is under new owners, it was in good shape - but the greens were extremely slow (surely to speed up as the weather warms).

Best in the area, but still needs attention. I was there in spring conditions. Lots of water!

Pleasantly surprised by how good the course got through the winter. Tees and fairways were excellent. Greens were a little slow but rolled true. They appear to be about 2/3s of the way through renovating the bunkers. Played 36 and the replay rate was very reasonable. It's a bit of hike from the city but we played 36 in 6 hours on a nice Saturday, so well worth the drive.

the greens were choppy, otherwise a nice course. Will play again.

I was not expecting much after reading some old reviews of this course but I was pleasantly surprised. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape and the tees were fine. They have redone bunkers on 6 holes and the rest will be done in the spring. This is a nice layout with some interesting holes. They have a range, putting and chipping areas to warm up. This was a very good value and would highly recommend you give this course a try.

The course was in Pristine shape. The fairways were well manicured. The greens were in excellent shape and very challenging. I live in Ajax and there are many courses between my house and Oliver's Nest But, I am glad I booked the tee time and look forward to returning to Oliver's Nest.

Pace of play was a bit slow but the course is in great condition and the weather was perfect

The greens were in great shape and so were the fairways without hardly any leaves for this time of year, layout stretched out neatly between gulleys and woods. enjoyed it!

good fairways and greens, fairway rough needed to be cut

I have played the course many times before. Since it has been taken over by new ownership, I have noticed many improvements. The greens and fairways are greener and more consistent. Some of the tees are in need of work, but greatly improved over last year. The bunkers are starting to look good. This course is fun to play with a great variety of holes.

The Course has been poorly maintained the past few years. New owners have started to do regular maintenance and the golf course condition has improved. Fairways and greens are in very good condition, tees need improvement, bunkers need sand and rough needs to be cut.

Nice layout with 4 sets of tees to challenge all golfers abilities.

The course is in good condition, greens are little slow,but overall are good.

Great course pace is good. Green is little slow. Bunker needs work.

There are a few holes that a short hitter can reach in regulation from the white tees so it gives that person a chance to get some pars. The short hitter can use the red tees for two holes that demand a long carry with the first shot. All greens and fairways are in excellent condition.

Once the bunkers are rebuilt,it will be a top value.

Course is starting to come into a bit better shape, as it seems as though Golfnorth is putting some money into it. (Bunkers were still terrible/ pretty much unplayable)

However, our overall experience at the course was poor. I am not sure why they posted tee times on Golfnow for the day we were playing, as there was some Manic Monday special happening, and the course was JACKED. We waited on every tee for the two groups ahead of us and finished the first eight holes in about 2.5 hours.

This didn't come as a huge shock as when we pulled into the parking lot we knew we in trouble. On check-in we asked the guy in the proshop if we could just get a twilight rain check, as we knew that this was going to be a nightmare, but he said no....we had to play or walkaway from our money. Not great service in my mind. They weren't even apologetic; more glib and smug at the idea that they pulled one over on us. I suppose golfnorth may not have removed some of the people that forced this course into near bankruptcy a couple of years ago.

See above. The same would be said here. The greens and fairways are in great shape. The bunkers and tees need work.

Great course. Played it 15 years ago, and still challenging today. This course is risk / reward. Take the risk and if it pays off you get the reward. Tee boxes great for all levels of golfers. My wife who only has played for 3 years, hit from the whites 5600 yards and scored 5 par's. This is excellent for her. Even beat me by 2 strokes overall. The back tee boxes are challenging, and you need a 200plus drive on most holes to clear. The greens are true but lots of contours in them to give some good challenge. Worth the Drive to Lindsay

I have played this course many times and with the new management it has kept it's good playing condition. The staff are trying hard except for one strange thing. I was on the range warming up and a staff member started to retrieve balls with a ball retreiver in front of where I was hitting. I actually had to stop warming up and wait for this guy to finish. He seemed oblivious to me even though I was hitting balls 30 ft from him. Anyway, still love the course and will play again.
