12 of us heading to the Island next week, playing Morningstar, Storey Creek, and Crown Isle. Anyone play these? Comments? first time for us. Also, heard they are punching the greens today at Morningstar...we play there next Thursday, is that enough time for the greens to recover or will they still be bumpy?

Looking at Meadow Gardens in Maple Ridge next week sometime, they have twilight's starting at 3PM for $25. Swan-E-Set also has twilights for $25 after 2. @oldtimer check out https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/s...0&date=Wed+Apr+06+2016&timemax=48&view=Course for some last minute deals on your Island trip.
Played them all years back, crown Isle was my fav at that time but it was still fairly new. Hopefully still in as good a shape.
If I recall Storey Creek is a tighter track with old growth trees on most holes, Crown Isle is a little more open but more water and trouble.
Don't remember Morningstar so couldn't have been too impressive. I think we played it first on our trip and we usually setup a "starter" course to get things going on the first day.

Not sure. I got a good 30 years to go. But from seeing it first hand across from me at denny's one morning I seen some old dude flip a table when he was asked if he wanted the senior breakfast. Pride factor!Well what do you think???

I'm past the pride factor thing...take any break I can get...I got mad at my hair cutter place, I asked what age the seniors rate was and she said 65....still got to wait for that

Yeah but that's the past and we weren't there.
We cancelled it after we heard you were interested

played all of them on last summer's golf tour. well worth the trip. Storey creek is a treat and Crown Isle was the best condition, (we stayed right on the course which was nice, but condos/houses which as opposed to trees and nature of Storey Creek). A sneaky good course i would suggest playing is Pheasant Glen, (i rated it ahead of Morningstar which i've never enjoyed likely cause it manages to beat me up everytime).
this year's trip is the Kootenays: St.Eugene's Mission, Wildstone, Trickle Creek, Bootleg Gap, Copper Point, Eagle Ranch and Greywolf...can't wait!

Played and stayed at Sandpiper a couple weeks back for the first time, rather enjoyed it and would go back again. Course was in great shape considering it was March, and I managed to shoot a decent 90, which I was surprised with considering the tall timber/OB. Greens were fast as well.
I've also gotten out on Point Roberts and Green Acres in Richmond. PR is cheapish right now, $31 CDN but you know what you're in for, little booze, and aside from the tee box and greens, they don't water the fairways. Right not it's fine, but in a couple months it will all start browning. Green Acres was in good shape, $35 for the round and was fairly enjoyable, not extremely tough, but a decent track to start getting the rust off. Can't remember what I shot at either place
I'm doing a cross country road trip come August, and plan to swing the sticks in every province at least once. Any recommendations?

Beautiful day for first round of the season and a good start with a great bunch of guys.
43 -37 for an 80 on Golden Eagle South.
Might want to wait a few weeks to play there.
Surprisingly dry but they haven't done much for manicuring. Bunkers still have winter grass tufts in them and haven't been raked yet. Rough is long and they haven't cleanup the grass clippings and old leaves so balls that should have been found just off the fairway weren't found sometimes.
Still nice to get out and play and sit on the patio for a few.
