Enjoyable outing

This course was in very good shape, considering the lack of rain over the past 2 months. The greens were very good. We played the course at a leisurely pace (1 walking, 1 riding), since there was no one else out there, yet we still finished in under 90 minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would go back again.

Opening week for season

On the first hole off the tee you don't want to get far with a straight shot unless you want to go over the pond the fairway narrows and the second shot you will have trees . The second hole drive can put you over the hill and it is wet in the low area The second shot you should land on the right of the green due to the slope . After the second the course is fairly dry up to the 7th hole. The greens are in excellent shape and only a few wet spots on the fairways but no casual water.

Good choice for North Saanich golf

Pleasant outing. Great value from golfnow.com. Noon hour on Tuesday and the Course was empty. Much needed aeration makes for an occasional lumpy fairway, but overall the condition is good. We will return.

Practice course when price is right

This is a 10.00-12.00 course, any more and it is not a good value. Greens used to be better. Narrow course over all , but a good iron practice course.

Fun Afternoon

The weather wasn't the best, light rain for the first two holes and then by the 5th we could take our jackets off. This is a good course to get used to using your irons. My wife and I joined another couple(friends of ours) and had a fun afternoon.

A great place to take a beginner

Pretty course with lots of features such as water and uneven lies! Short walks between holes, no sand, and all par threes and fours make this a good course for beginner golfers.

Challenging short course

Not a long course, but very challenging. You must stay in the fairway on the par 4s. Greens are well maintained but tricky.
Good course to practice your short irons.
