Located just off Hwy 401 is easy off/on and the course looked empty so I stopped in. You start off on a hill and head down to the river where its mostly flat with straight away hole layouts. The greens are raised for forced carries with a few hard pan sand traps, that putted fast for September conditions. I walked the 6,203 yds / 72 @ 115 slope shooting 86/40putts with flat stick problems landings in the worst spots on the smaller size greens. Paid $29 US$ and had an uninterrupted 3hr 15min walk by myself on nicely cut fairways and slight 2" rough on a sunny Thursday afternoon. Worth stopping on this average public golf course if traveling on 401 through the area and course not looking busy.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Better than average course for the area
Condition of Course, Price, Pace of Play, Layout, No Houses on Course
