Great Course!!

What a course!! Played on a Saturday afternoon and was a little worried it might be slow but the course manages the times and groups well and it keeps everyone on track without feeling hassled.
The course was amazing, I've played several in KW and this is hands down the best one in the region.
Greens were in fantastic shape, carpet like fairways and overall the course was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back again.

Not a top class course

This course is not worth the money you pay. There are far more challenging courses for far less money in the Kitchener/Waterloo are,

Excellent course

Great value on golf now, although an 8:06 t time has first couple of holes playing into the morning sun causing difficulty tracking your ball, will diffently play again, worth the hour drive from Brampton .

Ok - good at the sale price

The greens, tee blocks and fairways were in great shape. Was a little disappointed with the sand and the rough. Some of the rough was very overgrown with crab grass and made it difficult to play out of - I know stay short and not a problem. Biggest problem was the pace of play. We were waiting every block for the next group to go. At one point on the back we had three groups backed up. Not sure why the holdup but this is unacceptable. We got off a little before 4 and were well after 8:30 playing poor light conditions. Not sure why the holdup - didn't get a heads up from the marshals about the delays and they didn't seem to be worried. Not sure if I will come back in the near future because of.

since lpga, all has changed

ive been three times before. always good time.
this time we were 4, behind a threesome. our worst score on the card was 89. yet, we were harassed numerous time to keep up with the group of 3 in front.
was always a great time at grey silo, but, now, we all say we'll never go back.
price has gone up, course quality has gone down and staff has let the lpga go to their heads

Grey Silo

Course was in great shape, only issue would be that the greens were aerated a week and a half before so they didn't play too well. Wish they had mentioned that when booking. Had a threesome in front who really slowed the pace, but the marshals kept addressing it which was nice.

2nd round at Grey Silo

Second time playing this course. One year ago, dry, sunny mid-day game. This time, 7:45 tee time on a very wet course (after days of rain). The 1st few holes a challenge tracking the ball while the sun burned off the fog. It is important to know the course layout as blind shots result in challenges if you select the wrong club. Very fast greens, even when they are wet. Recent aeration of greens resulted in putting challenges as well.
This scenic course is well maintained, challenging and a a fun to play.
Getting a deal booking online ensures good value.

Aeration

Was looking forward to playing this course with my son and father. Prior to arriving I was telling my son how challenging and fast the greens can be. Imagine my dismay when I discovered the practice green was shaggy and aerated. The starter confirmed all greens were aerated a few days earlier. No mention of this on the Golfnow site - I am pretty sure this normally shows up.

Grey Silo is always in great condition and, the greens notwithstanding, same thing during our round. Pace of play was very good - we only waited a few times and rarely held up the 3some behind us.

I will return but will definitely call ahead to confirm greens condition.

Greens aerated

Only one issue with the course but it's big.... Greens were aerated the day before we played it. There was no mention of this when booking through Golf Now... Overall the course is a great track. Just disappointing when we arrive and find out the greens are basically unplayable.

Grey Silo Golf Course - Outstanding condition

Played Grey Silo on July 26/14 after not having played there for several years since GolfNorth took over. Happy to say that the course was in better shape than I can ever remember and is start to mature into a dynamite layout. For a public course greens were above average. We were able to get on through GolfNow at around $85.00 including cart and LPGA Event Cap. Very good value at that rate. Would play it regularly if I live closer. Give it a shot!!

Grey Silot

Great conditions. Pace was not bad but a littoe slow. Greens were running really quick. Off back tees, the par 4's arre challenging unless you hit drive over 250.

Championship Layout

Course has legitimate Country Club attributes. Course was in Imaculate condition from Tee to Green. Plenty of challenge from all tee boxes. Do not try and play this course if you are a new to golf player. Also , not suitable for walking ; i.e. must take a power cart. Lots of traps[i found most of them] . Sand is clean and well maintained , but not overly deep..Treat yourself , at least once a year, even if it costs $50-$75 for the round..

Out of the Ordinary

I've played the Silo before and always enjoy this track. It's wide fairways make it very forgiving for errant tee shots and its greens challenge you to be on your putting game. The only down-side to this round was about a one hour delay / wait for our pre-booked tee time - due to a tournament and having to endure a group of enebriated shirtless golfers who refused to leave the 1st tee until one of the marshalls intervened.
