Course Review: St. Andrew’s East Golf Club
The course in Stouffville was designed by Rene Muylaert and the private equity club was created with a vision to maximize member enjoyment.
Courses
The Discovery Tour – a senior summer play list
As I experienced these 11 courses, I came to appreciate that they are the backbone of golf in this country – short, affordable and walkable – the essence of golf.
Course Review: Duntroon Highlands, Duntroon, Ontario
The ‘New to Me Tour’ continues with a visit to hilly Duntroon Highlands on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
Enjoy the relaxed vibe at Batteaux Creek
Stephen Young fashioned this pretty layout on 250 acres, using the Niagara Escarpment as a backdrop and the natural wetlands adjacent to Batteaux Creek to craft a very playable routing.
Parry Sound G&CC is pure Muskoka
This is one of McBroom’s earlier designs and it definitely defines the themes that you see at his other Muskoka projects like Deerhurst, Ridge at Manitou and Rocky Crest.
At Simoro Golf Links, challenge isn’t measured by length
With several tee decks on each hole, Simoro is appropriate for any skill level. Even long bombers will be challenged by the short-game requirements and tricky greens.
A return to Lake St. George
Overall, the course is player friendly and would be fine for any skill level. I plan on a return visit this summer to play the North nine and hopefully get my revenge on a few holes that didn’t treat me well.
Play the Toronto Golf Trail
With over 250 public courses and 87 private clubs, the Greater Toronto Area should be on every avid golfers Bucket List. Here’s a sample of some of the best.
Course review: The Nest at Friday Harbour
Very enjoyable. Generally, I love Doug Carrick’s designs and The Nest was no different. Fun to play and you never feel like you got beat up. Probably the best greens we played on this year.
