Both greens and tee decks in rough shape. The course design provides a great challenge.

Really Goofy Layout

Course staff was very nice but the course itself certainly was not. Way too many local course nuances with way too many blind shots into almost inaccessible greens. If you hit the ball more than 200 yds off the tee, this is not a course for you.

Fun to play

Great condition, greens top notch, beautiful vistas. Not many courses around like this one, has a very unique feel and look. If in Ontario it should be on your must play list.

A good day of golf is better than a good day of work!!

It is still the toughest course I've play. I love it. A nice touch at end of round is when an employee wipes the crud of your clubs. I'm impressed! Thanks for a great round!

Pace of play

It Is a well known issue at this course. They have tried to address it by posting tips to improve pace of play in each of their golf carts. However, they don't enforce it. We expressed our frustration with the slow pace of play and pointed out to the Marshall that the twosome in front of us perhaps should move up a tee box. We observed this twosome rarely making the fairway from the second to back tees. He informed us that we were playing at the suggested pace, (acceptable pace of play they base on a foursome) After a lengthy discussion in which I suggested he observe them and kindly ask them to move forward a set of tees, he said would but when we got to the next tee (to wait once again) the Marshall was nowhere in sight so I do not believe he spoke to them.

Up and Down

Short but difficult track, no bunkers that I remember, but tight with lots of elevation changes. Fun course, pace of play slow but ok for a resort course.

Challenging off the tee

Very nice course, nice views and a good layout that would probably be enjoyed more on subsequent rounds. My only criticisms would be that just about every par 3 has really elevated tee blocks, which are tough to judge (at least for your first time). Also there are some holes that are somewhat blind off the tee with minimal help from the signage/card. There were quite a few lost balls off the tee for a group of mid handicap golfers.

Its a Challenge

Excellent layout, somewhat dry as we seem to be going through a drout so can't blame that on the course. Greens running med- fast. Narrow fairways with raised or lowered greens make it tough if your not on your game.

Excellent Day

My buddy and I had an excellent day at Hockley Valley beginning with the gentleman that set us up with our golf cart. Don't even ask about walking this course! The course has magnificent views throughout all 18 holes. Precision golfing is the name of the game at Hockley Valley.

Love the course, but strange decision by starter....?

I booked a threesome through Golfnow. We arrived at the course about 20 minutes before our tee time, and were told that there are no groups in front or behind so we could take our time warming up. Then, when we got to the first tee, the starter told us that he was pairing a single with us. I have no problem with being paired up, but it seemed strange that he would pair the single with us rather than sending him out alone on a fairly empty course. He also sent a twosome out behind us because "they showed up late." I would think it would be better to either send the twosome ahead of the foursome, or add the single to the twosome to make two threesomes so that we would keep the same pace.

When we get to the third tee, a marshall approaches and asks us why we have three carts (the starter told us it would be ok for the single to keep his own cart, and our third to stay in his own cart rather than amalgamating....) The marshall then says that he will send someone out to pick up the extra cart, but no one ever came...Whatever.

Overall, I love the course, and have had some awesome experiences there over the years. This day was a bit off, and our encounters with employees rubbed me the wrong way, but it won't prevent me from going back.

A must play in the GTA

My all time favourite venue in the GTA.This is the fifth time I have played this course for the season and certainly would not be the last. All the staff here are very professional and make u feel appreciated.

Course is in great shape. The greens have recently been aerated hence were rolling slower.Fairways in great shape .Play the right tees and u would have an

enjoyable round.Keep the ball on the fairway or pay the price.There are lots of uneven lies and elevation changes.The vistas are amazingly breathtaking.No sand bunkers but dont be fooled this course has its fair share of challenges.

Challenging Layout

Played the course for the first time in challenging weather conditions. The course, despite the rain, was in great shape. The changes in elevation were incredible and made the already challenging tract even more difficult. I was not sure on several occasion whether we would get up the hills safely or down the hills safely. This made for an interesting round. I would definitely play this course again and would recommend it to friends who are looking for a challenge.

Course is in good condition and pace of play was great. Finished in 4:30 and never had to wait. Staff was very friendly. No sand and water only on the last hole. Lots of elevation changes and some interesting, short, challenging holes.

Spring golf

Great course. 1 of my favorites BUT beware, you can score very high your first couple of rounds. The only thing that really really bothers me is the workers. They cut the grass feet away as you are ready to hit. They have to change this in order to make the course better.

Hockley a tough tough track, but great

The only course you'll play with water only on 18 and no sand traps that is extremely difficult. The mounding around the greens are insane coupled with undulating greens makes this course a must play. You better be playing no more than 90 normally or you'll find this track too difficult and frustrating.
