Uplands Golf and Ski Club

Paid for 18

only played 11. Left and went home.

First red flag, although i had a confirmation email, I was not listed under my time. Spent some time figuring that out. In the end, my actual time had another persons name under it, my name was at the bottom of the list, and well, we got paired up with 2 other players. Don't get me wrong, I understand why the need for that in general, but 1, I've been to other courses, you play with the amount of players you signed up for, and 2, especially during a pandemic, not sure I want to be around people not in my bubble.

The WORST PACE OF PLAY I have ever witnessed.Definitely not worth the time.

Teeing off at the first hole there were 3 groups of 4 ahead of us. One of the workers stated that "they overbooked, because they didn't think they would still be open during this time of year" open or not, why would you overbook? waited at least 30 min before we could tee off.

On the course, we kept noticing three 16 year old looking gentelmen in a golf cart "hiding between holes" Group infront of us managed to discover the 3 guys were trying to jump bewteen groups whenever they had the chance. Turns out the 3 young men were workers at the course.

We paid for 18, you play the front 9, and the back 9 are the exact same as the front. so you're playing 2 rounds of the same 9.

We finally finished the front 9. Decided we might as well try for our 18 since that is what we paid for. The 2 guys we were paired up with only paid for 9 holes, one of the workers questioned them and at the end, did them a favour and allowed them to play the 9 again. Kinda defeats the purpose of me paying for 18 when you're letting others play 18 at the rate of 9. My advice, NEVER pay for 18 and just get back in line if you want to go again.

So we're trying to get onto another hole, there was a group infront of us, literallly just standing at the hole we wanted to tee off at. they asked us which hole we were trying to play at, we told them, and one of the persons in their group said, "no you're not" we are. we said sure no problem, but you guys are standing around, either you're playing, or working? turns out, they were workers.

Overall, my group felt cheated out of our money and time. As far as I know, workers at golf courses don't usually pay to play. So I'm under the assumption that the 3 16 yr olds didn't pay, as well as the group infront of us we ran into on the back 9 didn't pay either. I would assume paying customers take priority over non paying workers?

Save your time, save your money, go elsewhere.

I would never recommend this facility to anyone,

Seems like they care more about quantity and not quality.

Although we booked for 18 holes, they only charged us for 9 and when we turn to play the back nine they told us that we cannot because we only paid for 9, we did mention that we paid what we were asked for and that our reservation was for 18 and offered to pay the surcharge which they wouldn't accept, at this point they blamed it on golfnow and asked us to leave the premises

The course was very beautiful don't get me wrong. The value was decent. There was no marshall I could have teed off whenever my group wanted. So we had to wait for almost every hole. Also, there were leaves everywhere making it really hard to spot ball even on greens and fairways. Guess to be somewhat expected for fall end of season golf, but could have been a bit better-taken care of.

Beautiful landscape. Hard course.

Very nice place to be.

first off I paid for a "hot deal" for 18, which they were not going to honor at the course because they say it wasn't what they offered, so fix that GOLFNOW......i figured by the yardage, I could walk this course, but get the cart, the terrain is up and down hills on almost every hole, plus the layout is fairly ridiculous, especially on your furst round. Lots of holes where you have to walk one way, then walk back the other, with long walks between some of the holes......on 6, you tee off on the par 3, walk to the green, then have to walk the entire distance back, albeit not a huge walk, maybe 150yards, but just doesn't seem like the layout was well planned......but it's also in a valley, working with the terrain, so the architects may have not have a better option.....just annoying. So definitely get a cart.....i finished the first 2 holes and walked in the clubhouse out of breath and said I need that cart homeboy, he was very nice and pro rated the cost.....i have a torn meniscus in my knee, usually I'm ok, but up and down hills is not friendly to it......once you know the layout, you can leave your bag in places to avoid lugging it, but it was my first time. The course itself is pretty challenging.....on some of these valley par 3s, if you miss the green, it's almost a guaranteed boogey at best and some holes are very tight with forests on either side....i donated multiple balls to the tree gods on shots that weren't even that bad.....but offline is offline. the 3rd hole is under construction, so it's been cut down to half as long, and when I played, it had rained all night, so it was basically a swamp......overall, once you pay the fees, golf now's cut, tax and cart, you're looking at over $60 for 9.......at that price, it's not worth it in my opinion, which is too bad because it's close to the city.....like I said in my first sentence, they weren't going to honour the 18, but luckily I had screen shot the purchase which said 18, so they were ok with it.....but when I finished 9 I went to the 1st tee and there were 3 foursomes waiting to tee off....with a sore knee, soggy feet and lack of patience, I said forget it and just went home......git an eagle on 9....so guess I went out on a high note.......but honestly, at the price, if you're looking for golf in the north end of Toronto, just pay the extra $15 and play don valley or go east to Remington.

i Haven't even finish my round and yet i am writing this review. this is not a golf course or at least i shouldn't be consider one... not because of the course layout but it is not treated as such by the staff.

i have played in courses with the pace of play slow but this is to much 20 plus min wait in each tee...

right now i am at 7 hole and i counted more than 12 people waiting to tee off.....

at front desk are more staff just sitting around and no staff on the course not starter... no marshall etc...

people play 2 balls people play from the blue tee and dont event hit the ball...

like a said this is a practice facility with holes...

dont even bother....

in other matters.... just because i have more time while i wait...

i reserved tje course with golf now. and the rate was $$$ for 18... holes..

the person at front desk would not allow me to play the 18 holes because of time.. 3: 20 pm. well i said dont worry i should be able to play 18 no problem... she said that no because if the course was full..

i said ok that should not be a problem if you have somebody behind the players to move them....

anyway... she insisted i said well no.problem i paid for 18 at $$$$ i can only pay for 9 she said no is the same rate.... WHAT ?????

same rate??? no way....

that can be ....

well she said that golf now is a third party......

that is just wrong....

i am formally complaining with golf now.....

BTW I havent been able to hit my shot at 7 hole....

The course is good !! the layout is gorgeous!! shame they don't have those extra shots for a par 70.

it was nice playing 18 on a 9 hole's course you know the shots you need to make on the back 9.

one suggestion is they should have different tee boxes to change the 18 holes experience.
