Worth the money

This is my second round on this course other then slow play found the course challenging,fairways and greens in good condition, tee boxes poor, bunkers have nice white sand and they have sand. Good value for price . I will play again to see if pace speeds up during the off season. Course played by another of local seniors. Not that I'm not one of them. So in conclusion rough is short easy to find your ball this should speed up play . I WILL SEE.

Enjoyable round in the sunshine

Interesting course with lot of water, fast greens and some testing holes. As an 18 handicapper thought it was a good test. Suspect too hard for beginner.

Terrible first impressions

Don’t waste your hard earned money and valuable time playing here. There is no driving range, and it does not say that anywhere on the website. When we arrived at the course we were told we could not check in until 20 mins before our tee time - this slows the pace of everything down. As we were early for our tee time , and couldn’t warm up , we hung around with everyone else at the putting green - which is where the starter is. I’ve played golf , like so many in various places in Canada and USA , I have never experienced a starter with such a horrible attitude. He was belligerent, ignorant and just down right rude - as the first point of contact to the experience at the Colony , he downright failed the test to make me want to come back. It left such a bad taste for me that I am writing this review - so DO NOT play this course , there are so many welcoming courses who are happy to have you play. Oh and PS - he actually had a tip jar out !

Good course but surroundings are a bit nasty

First time playing, paired with another nice twosome and starter was very nice. Pace of play was very good. Greens were in great condition. Fairways were pretty decent. Layout of holes was interesting. As a female golfer I thought the course was very fair from ladies tees and allowed me to be competitive with the men in the foursome.
My only real complaint is that the golf course is situated in the middle of some very old condos that are very dilapidated and I felt like I was playing in an unsafe area at times. On the one par 3 I actually couldn’t wait to finish the whole as there was a huge fight going on in the parking lot and I was concerned what may happen and spread to course.
The golf play was quite nice and enjoyable, just wish the surroundings were cleaned up. Assuming course wishes the same thing.
