High winds, dry rough make it tough!

Dry weather will add to the already tough elevation challenges, I do enjoy those lol overall a challenging layout to be enjoyed. The greens were well cared for and receptive considering how dry the rough was today.

Some nice views on elevated tees. I birdied 14! Stuck it 3ft to pin with a 7 iron ciao arrivaderci

Why so expensive????

I am all for paying $100 on a Sunday for a golf course. The course better be in great condition and give me something to think about so I want to come back. First off why would you pay $100 for this course when you can pay $60 for the Beddoe or Martin muni golf course. The layout of this track is tough, but the course is super dry. I struggled to make good contact on some holes because there is no grass. Just wispy brown strands trying to be grass. If the city of Hamilton is listening, stop trying to bend over the people playing your golf course!!!!! I will not go back to this course for that kind of money. Honestly these people need to give there head a shake with these prices…….

Very tough

Played the black tees which I genwrally would do with a 2 handicap. This is no walk in the park... Very tough.

Hilly and very pretty course... Several very hard holes.

For $50 its a steal.

Wont be a quick round as the course is probably to hard for 80% of the people who pay there.

Would play again

Beautiful Layout, Rough Greens

Beautiful day, beautiful course, bumpy and uneven greens. I suspect the locals are abusing the course and it is tough to keep in decent shape.
