Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
Argyle,
Played Northview Canal during the Holidays......it is a bit pricey at $50, but all the tee boxes were open and the tees were at their correct distances, also all the greens were good.....the course was amazingly dry (in the fairway anyways)....the rough was sloppy, need to catch it perfect, otherwise FAT!!

Morgan Creek is in very good shape and probably holds the water better than any other course i've seen.
A few of us played it on New Years Day and it is running about $50.00 in prime time. Pricey ? Not really if you consider having dry feet all day long and the ball not plugging on you.
The greens are in very good shape.
Also got to meet Clarke Brolly who plays for West Vans over 35 team on the day. See ya soon big man.

Greg, the Knights version of Harold Ballard and myself played McCleary In late January during the monsoon break. I wore regular golf shoes and walked off with dry feet and the same ball I started with. Okay the same brand of ball....
The greens were fine and the fairways were decent enough. Plus we got a $3.00 back in a food receipt !

Like Coach has said, Morgan Creek looks great, well when I drove by it, I have heard that for the whole month of Feb., there are reduced green fees, and after 1pm everyday, it is only $39 bucks, not bad with the nice sun we are getting right now, a friday afternooner sure would be nice.

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
Are there any footy related golf tourneys coming up? The Knights usually try to put one on at Musqueam during the summer. Same as the Westside O boys of the Masters premier division. The golf isn't that great, but the double tequila shot prior to teeing off on the sixth makes up for it. Plus there is always a Gino sighting to be had....

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
McCleary and Fraserview are in good shape for this time of year. However one must be cautious of cheap greens fees since it usually results in showing up to play on recently punched greens. Off to play Shaughnessy tomorrow. Love the greens,hate the rough...

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
Played Meadow Gardens just last week. It sure is nice to get the sticks out again. It was fairly dry and the greens/fairways are in good shape.
Anyone played University yet this year?

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
Shaunnessy was a blast to play last week ! They have cut the rough down to about three inches,which is so much better than the six they had it grown to for the Canadian Open. They might be the trickiest greens around.
Fraserview, playing with the Knight's version of Harold Ballard (ask an old leafs fan...), is on the agenda for Wednesday. It was in good shape when we were there recently. I have yet to meet anyone who has two hit the eighteenth in without teeing it up in the fairway...
Has anyone been up to the green monster in North Van yet?.

Played Northview Ridge yesterday and yes it was in awesome shape.
The Fairways actually still had alot of roll considering all of the rain.
The greens are firm and also in very good shape.
This course is still one of the best if you ask me.
Enjoy!

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
It turns out we played the canal course instead. Nice layout with fairly decent greens. Everyone had to play from the pro tees "in order to keep up pace of play" levels. It was really windy and damp. I felt really sorry for the hackers. People were complaing of not being able to reach the fairways with even their best drives! I would play it again though... Morgan creek was in awesome shape with greens running at 10.5 on the stimp. Has anyone ever birdied the 10th? When you are facing the wind that hole can be a brute.

Swan-e-set Links at 6:45am this morning. Great to get our before the heat and get in a 3hr40min round before the sun really gets going.
Course is in great shape but the game was not.
Double, Birdie, Birdie, Double, Par, Bogey, etc., etc. etc.
Great to get out though!

Re: 2006~Local course report / Got an opening
For the first time in my life, i played Mayfair Lakes.
By far the most overrated, overpriced track I have played since Chateau Whistler.
For $100, you would think they would be able to pave the cart paths, at least.
And every hole runs East or West... so you are either into the wind or with it... but never sideways. Dumb.
"I know... lets buy a strip of land 200 yards wide by 3 miles long... right beside the highway... we'll dig a shite-pile of lakes... then charge $100... SWEET!"
