I was at Morgan Creek on Tuesday, they had frost in the morning so everyone teed off at 10th and pushed back about 15 minutes or so. Teed off at 1pm and managed to get 16 holes in.

Ridge course @ North View this Saturday @ 9:50am for $10!

and the frost season is hard upon us! here's the golf course at around 9am, sunday(yesterday):

i got sent out just before 11, which left plenty of light before we got to the last hole around 3.

Had a hard time inserting the tee into the tee box on Saturday. Got sent out at around 11.

Pins still on the greens at Riverway?

Went to play Nico Wynd the other day, first hole is a par 5. Drive, hit second from a spot where I couldn't see green and walk to my third and notice the flag is in the fairway some 20 yards in front of the green. :fuckthatshit:

Picked up my ball, walked back to the club house and got a refund.. you would think they would tell you..

Riverway doesn't do temps. And yes, they're assholes if they don't tell you about temps. Fraserview is bad for that too.

I thought so too.. young girl though so gave her a pass.

And the local weather forecasters suck as usual. Friday morning golf! Where else can you do this one week before Giftmas?

Went for round two of the weekend this morning. A foggy start, but cleared up nicely.

And ....hello Santa!

My last round of the year, finished today at +9. 67 rounds of golf this year, there's a chunk of change!

Shot an 85 at Northview today. Pretty happy about that!

going out to golden eagle tomorrow, hope it's nice.

Prepare for the worst, its getting colder day by day. If they get frost, I can't see it clearing til well after 11.

played a round at Surrey yesterday, cleared up nicely. shot 71 for first round of the year, I'll take it

ok, where are all the golfers here? how about some incentive? (from today).

Riverway. I think I own it by now.

No doubt, you seem to go there quite a bit!

Played Nico Wynd last week, Delta on the weekend, playing Northview Canal again Saturday. Baby due in less than two weeks so I'm getting out while I can lol

Pagoda Ridge is in unreal shape, greens are mint

Just pulled the trigger on a new set of these guys! I'll hit a few rounds then get fitted into them.

Hey everyone,

Where is reasonably priced golf around Vancouver right now?
I've dusted off the old clubs and want to get back into the game.

Went to Mylora on Sidaway today and hated it. It was way too noisy from the cars and totally killed the atmosphere. Still enjoyed myself, but won't be going back there.

I shoot around 100 on a full length course. I don't mind executives. My budget is around $25-30.

What courses are around those prices right now?

It's so nice out, but all the courses near me are still mud pits this time of the year. Hoping they'll be good to go in late-March/early-April.

really? i find that hard to believe. would you not drive up to Fairwinds for a round?

Played Northview Canal yesterday. Pretty soft out there, especially around the greens. Had several Tigeresque chips where I only advanced the ball 10 yards or so. Bad day for the short game. Fairways were fine. Greens slow for Northview, but price was right.

Teed off at 1:15, finished the round and it was ~$40 with a power cart.
