Sad I won’t be there, but here’s what I know - thoughts from one of my favourite spots in the Canadian golf landscape!
Yes, there’s a range. Its small, not particularly long, and squeezed in a weird spot. But it exists!
There’s decent chipping and putting greens too, and also a 9 hole par 3 course that’s like $10 to loop. Honestly, a great time with one wedge and 2 beers.
Attire… truly anything goes. The quintessential muni experience. Have seen people looking tour ready, and groups of women balling out with bare feet. Keep it casual, it’ll probably be 100 degrees?
Course has a ton of parking, its tucked in a neighbourhood just off a main drag so lots of room. There’s various coffee and breakfast options close by if needed.
Lastly, the place slaps. Great public Ross that saw some really good renos a bunch of years ago. Greens are fiendish, bunkering is dope. Value is legit unmatched here. A couple holes are a little goofy (shoutout 8 and 9) but it really is cool as hell. Have fun!
Awesome. I really appreciate it. Looked at the course on The Grint/Google Earth, and it looks really nice. I’m also a big fan of Ross courses, so I was pumped when I saw this is one of his.
It’s a parkland course, but by no means “tree lined” - you can recover from most places, and trees are loose rather than thick forest. It’s a great routing too, given the lack of interest on the land itself.
So just now I’m listening to a mailbag episode of my favorite podcast that they recorded in their car driving between tour stops, and they were talking about the best food they have, and one of the hosts was like “oh in Toronto someone gave us a 10 pack of these coffee bars that were like Twix, and I ate 5 of them that night”
If I was in Ontario I’d have loved to have shot 15 points under my quota to be a dead weight to the crew.
I think we struggled with availability in the end - I’m proud of the gang who came together to put up a fight, but it wasn’t enough to vanquish the American invaders. Alas.
