Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to experience Eighteen Pastures, and what should I expect weather-wise?

We find late May through early October offers the best conditions for Eighteen Pastures. You'll enjoy lush fairways and comfortable temperatures, though shoulder seasons in spring and fall can offer great deals if you don't mind a cooler start or finish to your round. Expect classic Canadian golf weather-wise, meaning sunny days but be prepared for a brisk breeze, especially on the more open holes.

What kind of challenge does Eighteen Pastures present, and are there any signature holes I should look out for?

Eighteen Pastures truly tests your shot-making, especially with its subtly undulating greens and strategic bunkering that demand thoughtful approaches. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th- it plays over a natural ravine to a tiered green and demands precision, a true highlight. You'll find a good mix of open, links-style holes and some tighter, tree-lined challenges.

Is Eighteen Pastures a good value for the money, and what are the typical green fees?

You're getting excellent value at Eighteen Pastures; green fees typically range from $85-130 CAD, depending on the day and time you play. That usually includes a cart, which you'll appreciate on the back nine's more significant elevation changes. We think the course's pristine conditions and engaging layout make it well worth the investment.

What makes Eighteen Pastures truly stand out from other courses in Canada?

What truly sets Eighteen Pastures apart is its expansive, natural feel, blending seamlessly with the rolling Canadian landscape. You'll often feel like you have the course to yourself, surrounded by tranquility and stunning vistas rather than housing developments. It's a refreshing escape that prioritizes the pure golf experience over flashy amenities.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Eighteen Pastures for the first time?

We recommend bringing an extra sleeve of balls; while the fairways are generous, the fescue rough can be penal if you stray too far. Also, don't underestimate the wind on the more exposed holes- club down more often than you think, especially on the back nine. Consider walking the front nine if you're up for it, as it's quite walkable and offers a different perspective.
