Course is terrible. Farmers field
Not sure why this course isn’t closed. I’ve seen abandoned courses in better shape.
They haven’t cut any grass except fairways which look like the rough on any other course
Can’t find ball in fairway. Miss green slightly and you won’t find your ball. May find someone else’s.
Would not recommend
Staff was super unfriendly and rude to me and my friends we pre paid and drove 50 mins to get to the course and were profiled as “bad kids” who ruin the course when this was are first time ever there, we basically had to beg to even play the man was so rude it took me explaining that we already paid and we weren’t just going to leave because of what other people have done in the past we kept it super respectful because all we wanted was to golf. Once we got on the course finally the greens were un playable patchy greens no point of finishing the whole if you get on the green by far the worst course I’ve ever played. He also took a photo of my ID and held onto it for the full round.
Trying to bring it back
Since the main clubhouse burned down this course has over grown and is in need of a lot of care.
Carts only!
I play this course regularly, atleast 10 times last summer as it’s so close and usually a good deal. First time this season. I booked on golf now, showed up to the course and the owner tried to tell me I had to pay for a cart and wasn’t allowed to walk. He said this was course policy.
I said I wasn’t using a cart as I had already booked and planned to walk, he said fine this time only.
I get on the course to see half the people walking.
When I finished i asked the owner again to clarify, he said he will change the course to cart only on GolfNow. Which is fine, if that’s what is stated on the booking. There was no information on the course regarding the required cart only.
The disappointing part, is the course is short and cheap..good for beginners and a quick round. (Can walk in under 2 hrs for 18). I planned to take my daughter there this year to learn. But with cart requirement being implemented, it makes the course much less appealing for the price. $50 per player for a sub-par quality round, is not ideal.
I hope the cart rule isn’t put in place, that would be a real disappointment in my opinion.
Good for kids and beginners
This course is not maintained at all. The greens are like patches of backyard grass with dead patches everywhere. Good course for kids or complete beginners to learn to play since there isn't any pressure to keep pace. Overpriced for the course conditions. This wouldn't really qualify as a golf course anywhere. I paid on GolfNow and the owner tried to bill me for the difference between my GolfNow fee and his daily fee.
Summerlea
We had booked on line through Golf ow and the person on the desk said we had to pay again. I had to prove that I booked and paid through Golfnow. The course is very hilly and is challenging even though it is not overly long. Fairways needed to be cut. You could lose your ball right in the middle of the fairway. The greens were mostly what you would call the 2 putt rule as they were not in good shape.
Beginners course
Be prepared. The course is not well maintained. The tee boxes are mainly dirt, fairways are weedy and the greens are burnt.
Worse golf course ever
This is probably the worst course in Durham region. Very neglected. Terrible tee boxes, bunkers and fairways. The greens were ok. If you’re paying more $10 to play, it’s too much. Nice power carts though
Value for the money
Descent course for the money if you play during none peak times. $27 tax in to walk and os not a bad 18 in 3hours. Out of the way and never super busy. Course is a little rough for standards and looks like it is in a drought constantly.
Fun course
Was a fun course. Many par 3’s. Bring your own tuft of grass for the tee blocks. 😕
Nice Layout but not Great Condition
The course is short but the layout is quite nice with lots of elevation changes - take a cart. Course was very dry due to the lack of spring rain - greens & tee boxes not in very good condition, but was fun to play. Getting there was an adventure partially on a sand road - if traveling from the west, be sure to take the road north of the club not the one on the south boundary unless you drive a dune buggy.
