Remington Parkview Golf and Country Club - Upper

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (But minus one star for possibly electrocuting my 3-wood)

Let me tell you about the day I became a golfing legend—or at least in my own group chat.

Remington Parkview (Upper Course), you beautiful, overcrowded, electrically questionable marvel of Ontario fairways. I came in just hoping not to embarrass myself, and I walked off having shot my best round of the year: a glorious 78, complete with a CHIP-IN EAGLE on a short par 4 that made me briefly question whether I was secretly adopted by Tiger Woods.

Let’s rewind.

I showed up on a sun-kissed Canadian afternoon, mentally prepared for birdies, bogeys, and maybe a philosophical argument with my driver. What I was not prepared for was how packed this place was. I’m talking “Walmart on Black Friday but with putters” kind of packed. I had hoped to sneak in and join my buddy’s tee time—like you can at most courses—but Remington looked me square in the eyes and said, “No sir, you must walk this path alone.” So be it. Lone wolf mode: activated.

Now let’s talk about the greens. Oh, those glorious, slippery, slightly mischievous greens. True-rolling but trickier than a raccoon solving a Rubik’s Cube. You think you’ve read the break, and then—boom—gravity says, “LOL, try again.” But that just made every par feel like I’d just negotiated world peace.

I have to give a shoutout to the folks I played with—such pleasant company, including one guy who accidentally hit an electric tower. Yes. A tower. Not a pole. Not a wire. A literal structure straight out of a Transformers movie. I was halfway convinced he’d opened a portal to another dimension. Thankfully, no one got electrocuted, though I’m still waiting for confirmation from ChatGPT that it’s 100% safe to swing near Ontario’s high-voltage monuments.

Despite that minor existential crisis, the vibe was immaculate. The course is scenic, challenging, and just forgiving enough to make you believe you’re better than you actually are (which is the true mark of a great course, isn’t it?).

In fact, I was so inspired I booked another round for next week. Who knows? Maybe I’ll shoot a 77. Maybe I’ll hit the tower myself and become a local folk hero. Either way, Remington, you’ve got me hooked.

Final verdict:

Great course. Greens with attitude. Bring your A-game, your sense of humor, and maybe a rubber golf glove in case of unexpected electrical encounters.

I've played this course 3 times this year and each time the pace of play was terrible. The marshall drives by and says he's asked the offending group to speed up a bit, but you still end up waiting 3-4 minutes each shot.

Our group is a four-some and we all walk, whereas most other groups are carting. I just don't see how we end up waiting every shot.

In prior years, we could get around this course in under 4 hours (walking), but it's been 5 hours or more this year.

Make sure you bring your bug spray!

You will need it to survive the first two holes!

Course in great shape, weather good just a bit windy

The pace of play was slow since marshall's do not do anything except drive around. Slow play seems to a standard. Some hole tee boxes need repair. Fees continue to increase for Seniors as well as cart rentals.

This the 3rd time I played in a weekend. The pace of play is extremely slow. No one to monitor. Weekdays are far better.

Thank you Taylor for making my day.

Our group are super happy for your kind offer.

Will definitely come back😁
