#3 at Lora is the bane of my existence. I have never played it well and am convinced I never will.

If you can get the green light, you could have a MEGA 36 hole day by getting Cobble and Lora in together. That’s the things dream are made of right there.

I’m a member at Victoria Park East and if you like it, and I do very much, definitely check out sister course Victoria Park Valley just down the road. 27 holes each 9 is Par 31. Not as well conditioned but damn good for a course of that length and price. Hard to beat.
Victoria Park East, great condition, extremely walkable, reasonable to fast pace of play. Can’t speak to architecture as any kind of authority but it is varied and interesting, in my view.

I haven’t played Vic East since I moved here - we’ll have to fit something in this summer.
I’m now avoiding my immediate work responsibilities and looking at tee times…
My next few weeks of work are disgustingly busy, but by mid-July I’ll be ready to take a Monday off for a 36 hole day up there. I’ll take a show of hands on who’s interested and let’s go for an adventure!

Also reading up on Lora. Hosted a Skins game back in 07 (which is very cool) but also designed by McBroom (with Lehman). The course I grew up playing most is a McBroom and the new hotness in my area is also a done by him. I gotta think I’ll feel pretty comfortable playing it even if it is harder than Cobble.
They also co-hosted a web.com Pro-Am with Georgian Bay way back that was sponsored by Gretzky

Greetings fellow canucks, first time long time here checking in from Edmonton Alberta. I’ve been a long time NLU fan didn’t realize the community was this strong on the forum but happy to see it and jump in. From my short poke around the refuge it doesn’t seem like there are many people in my part of the province however I did see one person from Sherwood Park. I’ve no idea how this is supposed to work but I’m here and will start reading.

Welcome!
There’s also an Alberta thread for a more local focus:

Me three. It’s been a few years since I played there and would love an excuse to make the drive.

Thanks dude.
Howdy. Sherwood Park here. Welcome to the Refuge!
Thanks, your profile reflects my situation, want to play more, young kids, finding time and playing partners is the challenge. I’ve not played much out your way but played whitetail a few times and the legends once. I’m actually east side of the city and quite close to broadmoor but haven’t played. Is it any good?
I like Broadmoor. It’s close and the price is right, and it’s typically in pretty good shape. The front side is fun, the back nine is a bit monotonous but overall, it’s a good course and worth a trip if it’s not too far out of the way. We’ll have to get a round in this summer some time.

Same, remember it fondly, only bout an hour away for me now.
Played Tarandowah last Friday with my brother-in-law, and have to say what a treat it was.
Windy week down in SW Ontario/GTA, and the conditions were very firm and fast, which was awesome. 2-or-3 club wind, but honestly was even tougher playing downwind, iron shots would just get knocked down by the gusts. Greens were rolling as well.
On the same token, we were let through by a foursome and eventually had a couple hole gap, so we could have some fun shot-making challenges and totally enjoy ourselves. The firm and fast allowed a crazy amount of run-up, so you could chip a long/mid iron from and watch it trundle its way up to the green on some of the holes.
Even though we both EJECTED in the wind, one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve had ever given the unique conditions, something hard to replicate at other tracks here in ON. Watching your ball bounce that much from the tee (rollout!) and then begging for a soft/friendly bounce on the approach was a fun dichotomy. Definitely savoured that round, for sure.
