Shawneeki

[Zeus]

Was shocked that 2 with a cart tomorrow on GolfNow came to $170 for Shawneeki. Seems a little overpriced for what it is, no?

Yup.

I'm not driving that far or paying that much for Shawneeki - a course that I've enjoyed over the years, but not at that price.

So.... I assume you just booked somewhere else?

Found this at 12.45pm Saturday, today that is:
So looks like you are looking in the wrong place or your computer has a virus.
Carts are about $18.00

Is it just me or is the Golf Now website wayyy harder to use now?

Re: Shawneeki

A lot of the time the website doesn't even load the courses for me. But when it does work it is way harder to navigate than their old website. I've also found there are barely any good deals this year. Underpar and Wagjag has been better imo.

Wayyyyy over priced definitely, must be a glitch. I've seen hot deals for 2 go for $30 with cart before.

$73.46+Tax+GN Fee X 2 golfers = $170!!

Played today as a foursome for 4PM.
$40 walking from Golfnow.
Played in under 4 hours. Caught up to the 248 twosome on hole 13.
Fairways were good. Greens were running well. Tricky pin placements with very subtle breaks.
Some bunkers were better than others.

But......Course is not listed on Golf Ontario.
So you can’t put an official score in for your handicap.

Boo to that.

Golfnow is there to sell times that aren't popular. If the day is busy and the tee time is one of the few available, they won't discount it. I also know that to use the service, Golfnow requires one foursome per day be sold by Golfnow for profit. So if it was one of the only slots available, it was likely the price that Golfnow wanted to sell it for, not the club.

Hey there nuts. I’m going to be playing Shawneeki for the first time on Friday. I’m a bit high on the HCI lately so was wondering if I am getting my nuts handed to me or if I should at least be able to make a few pars? I know nothing about the course and their website photos and hole by hole info won’t seem to load.

[Marty Canuck]

Also wondering if it a “walkable” course. I can handle some hills but if it is constant up and down I might think about riding.

I'm an 18 hcp and hit my drive around 230. I typically play from the whites there, and I don't find the course overly tough. There are a few holes on the back 9 (90 degree dogleg par-4 and the par-5) that require a little more precision on the tee shot, but that's about it.

The course is walkable. The hilly parts are the 90 degree dogleg and the par-3 right before it, but the rest is okay.

1. The course is walkable.
2. No, it is not overly 'punishing'. An older style layout that I always found enjoyable.

Don't play it very much anymore as I got used to playing it years ago when it was an 'inexpensive' course. Possibly due to being so far from the city. Guess the 'city' has grown up and into it.

Sadly, that's prolly exactly where my game is right now, if I'm being honest.

Having said that, it is not a tough course. It has some good holes but nothing crazy. There were some water hazards with bullrushes I didn't even see on the first hole - it's worth looking at the map on the card. I love the par 3 (11th?) on the back 9 with a big drop down to the green. Conditions could get a bit mucky on some greens but otherwise ther were decent overall and I always enjoyed playing there.

It's not a bad walk Marty Canuck . You've been walking and cycling etc. so should have no problems.

I've always enjoyed the course. To my mind, I associate it with courses like Glen Cedars and Watson's Glen. Older courses where the facilities are dated and/or not the star but the course brings you back. Mature trees. Well maintained. Not overly long. Great staff. They have an open driving range which I always appreciate. Always been an enjoyable experience.

To your questions, not an easy course but certainly not too difficult for you. The 18th always seems to cause me problems but that's probably just me. There's a couple of forced carries but they can be managed. There are other holes where the driver should stay in the bag and accuracy should be prioritized.

The course is definitely walkable. There are elevation changes but nothing of the unduly drastic variety. As best as I can recall, the greens are generally well connected to the next tee so there aren't long nature hikes between holes.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your round.
