Oliver's Nest Golf and Country Club
About
Situated just west of Lindsey, Oliver's Nest Golf & Country Club is an idyllic escape that sprawls across rolling hills with the Mariposa Brook ambling through. The golf course opened in 1996 and despite being relatively young, Graham Cooke, a well known Canadian architect who designed the course, managed to incorporate the mature elms, oaks, and cedar trees that were already present in the wooded surroundings. Half of the holes on this challenging golf course are doglegs. The greens are fast and undulating and the rolling fairways are varied in size. The winding brook comes into play on several holes and there is also an abundance of strategically placed bunkers throughout. Oliver's Nest Golf & Country Club's signature hole is the par-3 seventh, whose green is protected by a pond in the front and trees in the back.

Great course no sand
I really enjoy playing here. The only challenge is that the bunkers have no sand. It’s just clay so we end up playing preferred lie.
Fun round
Fun round, enjoyed for the price. Some patches of wonky terrain around cart trails, but nothing of note. Recommend playing
Good time
Played as a twosome & hooked up with Colin and Louie from.T.O
Good time ... course is in good shape ... friendly ladies in Pro Shop and the lady was really nice serving us our sausage !!
Great Coarse
Played this coarse many years ago.
Just went back and loved it.
Coarse was in great shape considering the dry weather.
Thank you for not COVID proofing the carts with plastic dividers.
For that reason alone I’ll be back.
Pace of play
The pace was very fast, the group behind us were very good players and they kept hitting near us and we were always pushing the group in front of us.
The staff were all very courteous and helpful.
fair course, poor value
this is the only course that capitalizes on profiting from covid conditions. they charge 20$ per person whether you share a cart or not. my group should have all taken individual carts so the course was out of carts by 10am. the course was in good condition despite being so dry-however not worth the money and the staff were rude when questioned on the overcharge for carts.
Course is in very good shape. Took just over 4hrs but overall not bad. First time playing this course and I was really enjoyed myself. Will definitely play again.
First time player
This course is well laid out. The front nine is very forgiving with wide open tee shots. There is a nice mix of long and short par 4’s. The back nine is a little less forgiving with narrower tee shots and a premium on course management. The course was very dry and the sand traps did not appear to have been groomed at all. The greens are great with varying sizes and tiers. (Although they too were very dry, but roll true). The price was on the high side ($80 with a cart) given a simple clubhouse environment and a lack of perks such as GPS, a lone beverage cart that was only seen once during the round ( which happened to be at the turn ) And simple practice facilities. All in all I would recommend this course to anyone within a reasonable driving distance and can accept an elevated green fee dependant on what is available at the time. Lastly the course staff were all very friendly and professional which made this round a pleasant experience.
Enjoyed it
The course is in good condition where it needs to be. Played the whites since first time playing. Got an eagle and couple birdies. Too bad NBC / golfpass is such a pathetic company. Never buy anything from them again. However will be back to the course with friends (NOT booking on golf now)
To be clear. COURSE IS AWESOME. golfnow sucks. Hopefully they get a solution and remove themselves away from golfnow.
