Peninsula lakes

[stevedimebag]

Anyone played it recently? Looking to maybe get out and play it in a few weeks, just looking for opinions on conditions - especially compared to other courses in the area. The layout is nice for sure but conditions weren't top notch last time I played it.

Re: Peninsula lakes

I have played it a lot last year and this. Conditions are excellent. Even today with the drenching that we got yesterday it was still good. A couple of bunkers had water in them but other than that it was draining well. Last year when we had extremely dry conditions in the area it was still very good.

Re: Peninsula lakes

Heard a rumour they went into receivership a couple weeks ago. No clue as to it's truth. Anyone also hear something?

Thought they are owned by the same group that owns Copper Creek.

The emails I get are advertising a special including both clubs. Not sure I want to believe the rumour but figured I would pass it by the group.

Nothing has been said at the club about this.

Re: Peninsula lakes

Yes it's for sale at $6M. Just bring me the cash when you arrive and it's yours.

I seem to remember you selling sparrow lakes when I was over maybe 4/5 years ago. Am I right in thinking it was going at $13 mill or am I just talking out my a$$?

Was just thinking if it had went for that, then 6 mil is a steal for Pen Lakes.

If they could extend the course a bit, yardage wise, it could be a big time course as the set up is great and the views are spectacular.

Re: Peninsula lakes

Not sure the upside in selling but its not my concern. Only reason I was inquiring is I heard nothing bug good, actually it seems in the top 3-5 in the niagara region and was hoping it would be around to be played.

Re: Peninsula lakes

I think Pen lakes is likely the busiest course in the Niagara area. They manage it extremely well. There's a ton of tournaments, and I think they get alot of revenue out of that. Can't imagine them being in any kind of trouble financially. I've heard it's for sale, but that's not necessarily in indication of problems.

Re: Peninsula lakes

Got out on a sweet GN hot deal. The course was very empty. I think there was about 10 golfers including my in the 2 hours it took me to play 18. Pretty cold today but the hill seemed to curb a chunk of the wind so it wasn't that bad, but yeah, it was cold. Condition was pretty darn good. Greens were punched a month or two ago and while their are still visible holes in the greens they were relatively fast and I encountered no noticeable bumps in my putts. Pretty happy I went but need to get back when the weather is much better. The layout is above average. Not overly awesome but far from boring. Seemed to play a bit shorter then the card but most of my shots were in the fairway which helps expedite things a bit.

What holes did you think played short? I know of 8 that play longer than the yardage because of the elevation increase.
