Nice

Right now the course is as good as it gets. Only gripe is that the bunkers should have some slope away from the vertical lips.

Falling apart

Tee boxes are awful. Fairways rough shape. Some greens are terrible, others pretty good but slow.

“Championship Design?”

Starting with the good news… it was a great day, great value, very good pace of play, and the course was in better shape than I have seen it most years. But the greens were quite slow, with some in embarrassingly bad shape (eg no. 4) and some of the fairways would be rough in a championship course. But I’m glad that Northern Dunes is in business, and I hope they continue to improve.

A good Round

Course generally in good shape several tees need work as do 1 or 2 greens but other than that everything was green.

Front nine is tighter than the back but the whole course is an enjoyable loop. We played again the very next day.

First Round of Golf!!

This was my first ever golf round and it was a great experience. I am twelve years old and I went with my Grandpa and Dad.It was a wet, windy day but still enjoyable. My favourite hole was the 18th hole because it challenged me the most and I had my best hits on that hole. Overall the course was very fun! I had lots of fun and would totally go again!
