Golfer Reviews
Short but fun
Challenging but short, don't need all of the clubs in your bag
The Evans needs work
From limited parking, slow pace, course not updated on scoring systems, this isn’t a course for your list.
Teach your staff
Wasted my time driving here. Staff gave wrong information regarding weather. Staff was unable to cancel my request.
Quirky
Fun course but it appears concessions were made to make their neighbors happy ... dog walkers, needing to drive cart on roadway, putting only hole by Bahai temple, members cherry picking holes to play, etc. I'll be back but not necessarily soon.
Very fun course.
The newly renovated course has a great layout and was maintained extremely well. I will definitely be back for another round.
Fun, straightforward, challenging
Well-maintained course that runs along the north shore channel. Despite the course being shorter in overall length, it can be tight, forcing you to be accurate. Great for improving your iron and woods play, with a few longer par 4s to pull out the driver. Always great playing here.
Great course, but the prices…
Peter Jans’ mission for a public course for the community is lost with driving up the prices post-renovation. The course is one of a kind, but I personally do not play here as often as I’d like due to the higher rates. I would think Canal Shores might do better business if they lower their rates and attract more customers.
Fast Round on Weekdays, too pricy
Worth it with hot deal if you're looking for a quick practice round. Pretty fun to play, as a single on weekays I can play through under an hour and 30 min. Way too expensive at regular price for 13 holes that are open, I'd just go to Chick Evans at that point for a longer course at a cheaper price.
Time will tell
Only 12 holes open as we played the first week course reopened. Last 6 holes will be completed for play in early summer next year. Fairway was a bit thin but adequate and will fill in with time. Greens were in great shape. Course has a few funky holes with unusual tree locations off the tee that offer strategic challenges. Worth the $25 we paid on a hot deal, but if dynamic pricing pushes price beyond $40 (without cart) I would give it a pass. Staff was friendly and enthusiastic but no food available on weekdays. Nice if they offered a hot dog or pre-prepared sandwiches.
Great new green complexes but a little more disclosure would be nice
When booking on GolfNow it denotes 18 holes. There are currently only 12 holes available for play. Had I known I most likely wouldn't have paid this price for 2/3rds of a round. Regardless, the staff was friendly and I enjoyed the course despite the heavy rain in the morning. Course drained well and the greens were in great shape for their early opening. I am excited to return next year when the full course is available.
