I can tell you a bit about the course. They opened the front nine two weeks ago after waiting as long as they could for holes 3,4 & 5 to grow in. Hole# 3 green is a temp. for about another week. The greens are in amazing condition and putt very true and quick. They also hold shots very well.
The routing is very strong and the fescue in some places is very thick. Pick your tees carefully as this is a Par 70 with two Par 5s and at just over 7000 yards from the tips, they are not for the faint of heart. Blue tees are 6500 and whites are 6100 yards and reds are 5400.
They have a serviceable clubhouse with sandwiches, beverages, snacks, etc... and the fees are quite reasonable.
M-F $35 for 18 holes (includes tax)
S & S $42 for 18 holes (includes tax)
cart $15 per person (optional)
Twilight rates start at 3pm and are $21.20 Mon-Fri and $26.50 on weekends and the cart fee is only $10 per person during twilight as well.
I would wait until July when all 18 holes and greens will be open and those three holes have grown in more. After that, you will want to play this course again and again. And it will be worth the drive from the GTA.

I played the course today.
It is a good layout. The course is tough but fair, playing at 7102 yards and only a par 70. However this is not a bombers course. When the fescue and rough grow in, this will be one of the tougher courses in the area. There are plenty of bunkers and they are deep. I found the greens to be very inconsistent, some really fast, other really slow.
This course has a lot of growing to do, I think they opened a year too early. When the everything finishes growing in I would say this course will be great.
You need to pick your tees properly, the back nine from the blacks is 3647yds.
