Classic parkland course

Mature parkland course with some great holes that require a variety of shots. It appears they are adding features to the course (bunkers), if they keep up this work many holes will become very challenging.

Fine Outing

My partner and I practically had Pt. Dover G@CC to ourselves on our Friday, the 13th outing. The course was in remarkably good shape benefitted by the overnight rainfall.

This was my 4th time at Pt. D. this season while my partner was playing the course for the 1st time. He was duly impressed. If you have never golfed here, you owe yourself a treat.

Speaking of treats, do try the sausage from the restaurant.

Course in great shape.

I might be bias as this course is only 6 minutes from home. I have played here 6 times now and the staff are professionals and eager to answer questions. The course it self is in great shape and you can tell the new owners are butting money back into it making it better. With the tree lined fairways and smaller greens you really need to play the fairways to score well here. My only suggestion is please purchase some colour flags for the greens so we the golfers can tell where the cup is located on the green. Front middle back flag colours would be great.

Nice Outings but.....

My partner and I played Pt. Dover twice recently. The first round we played from the back tees (no yardages provided) which was a mistake since it made the course too long for us. The second time we hit from the blues which was a more forgiving distance (card=5700 yds) and each hole had a sign with the yardages posted for the whites and the blues which was very helpful.

Have seldom played a course where you have to guess the location of the pins (front, middle and back) since the flags were all blue. Surely the club could invest in 12 flags (6 white and 6 yellow) to aid golfers in determining this vital information and as a bonus it might contribute to a faster pace of play?

Speaking of pins and greens.....most of the holes were cut so close to the fringe it made it extremely difficult to pitch/chip and putt. My partner and I had multiple 3 putts on both our rounds. The greens are slick and undulating (especially #8) which made putting most challenging.

The course is well designed with many doglegs and a number of holes approachable over water ( par 3#11 is particularly treacherous). Since the fairways play fast it is best to land your approach shots in front of the greens. Many of the holes have greenside bunkers which were well maintained.

The pro shop, restaurant and beverage cart personnel were extremely friendly. However, my partner and I had

a bit of a problem with the beverage cart lady who although very amiable was too often in our faces to the point of being somewhat of a distraction at times.

PD links have excellent practice facilities and the prices for our rounds were a very good deal through GN.

Fun to play

Port Dover aka Lynn Meadows is a fun course to play forgiving on some holes hard on other. The ladies tee are up enough some with a decent drive you ave a chance to get to the green in regulation. Contact with the staff was short and sweet and it’s fairly flat so it’s not bad to walk

Great Mature Course

Course is in really nice shape. Greens are nice and have there own little obstacles. Tee blocks are firm I feel they could use a little more water. Fair ways are cut nicely and first cut is a little longer then I am use to.

Great course.

I found this course to be moderate difficulty although I had a great driver day and there are some tight fairways. Greens were moderate speed and the sand bunks were in great shape.

Nice place to golf

Port Dover is a nice place to play it’s fairly flat so you can walk. The ladies tee’s are up enough so if you hit a good drive you have a chance to hit the greens in regulation. The course layout was good with some challenging holes but a little course knowledge helps on some holes. The staff were very friendly and sounded like there’s some improvement coming along the way of the new ownership.
