First Time Playing

Great early spring golf

Drove 5 hours from Northern Ontario to get some spring golf in (still snowy at home). Good conditions all things considered. Walking only but it was not gruelling. Staff was super friendly.

This course is in decline

Course in dreadful condition. Bridges over creeks were temporary and very unsafe. Many areas just large mud bowls. Bunkers empty. Overall dirty unkept feeling. Stay away.

Hi Greg, i wanted to address your points.
1) we apologize for the muddy conditions in March. Not sure how we can impove that given the time of year.
2) you did not pay for a cart, were not charged for one. We reviewed your booking and it did not include it.
3) we are renovating our bunkers like many courses do in the off season. Again it's March.
4) we charge a green fee rate proportional to this time of year. Sorry if you expected June conditions in March, which given your comments suggests that.
5) our bridges are not temporary nor are they unsafe.
6) sorry if our course was more challenging then you expected and had a bad round.

Golfnow mistake

The tee time was booked with cart included, as advertised by Golfnow. The course would not let carts out due to wet conditions.

Cart coupon?

Hi Ryan,
Can confirm this was a GolfNow issue. Course had instructed no carts be advertised this time of year, but it was accidently activated on a few tee times.
We've sent you a $20 promo code to your email just now for the bad experience. Also, in the future call into the support line at 1.844.800.4653 and let them know the situation and they can properly credit you for the mistake.

Considering its early March the course is in great condition, many improvements from last year and looking like more to come, excited to see what this course looks like in the summer. Very friendly staff and ownership as well.

Save Your Money…A Real Disappointment

I have been a fan and promoter of Beechwood for many, many years. Returned today after missing last season and unfortunately the course has gone significantly downhill.

Whoever owns Beechwood should take a ride around the course and get their eyes opened to the numerous obvious issues. Cartpaths are a mess…fairways and greens are below standard…ALL traps are a disaster (as per pic)…a poor overall experience.

I am hopeful management will take steps to improve the course otherwise it won’t take long for the word to spread and players will stay clear and select another more enjoyable place to play.
P.S.
Do not wish to be too harsh or negative and acknowledge the nice hole signs and ball washers.

Fun Course for Anyone

Awesome staff and facilities. On the front 9 most holes were in great shape; literally the only complaint is fairway bunkers are pretty weedy and not well kept. The price is extremely reasonable for 18. Had an amazing time and fellow golfers were friendly.

Wet course

Generally the course was wet. The sand traps were neglected and more like cement traps and one was a pond. Greens generally slow but ok.
I enjoyed the afternoon

Not what it used to be

Regardless of the challenges of the very wet conditions in our area the last couple of weeks, the conditions are terrible. All the sand traps are overgrown, there is no sand in them at all. Some of the greens are good, but others have a number of ball marks. The tees are okay. The fairways are good. However, there is debris everywhere. The price was excellent and the management is great, and the new patio looks nice, but they are like all businesses these days it is evident that they are faced with labor shortages and it shows as the course is not well kept. Its too bad, the course was decent in its hey day, but no longer. I hope they improve it, but if not, I will not be back.

Poor golf management

Very disappointed.Played front nine and was told we couldn’t play the back nine.
They closed it for maintenance.
We should have been told before we teed off.
They gave us a rain check for nine.
This was totally unacceptable.
