Parkview Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the prime season to play Parkview Golf Course, and what should I expect from the Canadian weather?

We always recommend late May through early October for the best conditions at Parkview. You'll find the fairways lush and the greens running true, though be prepared for cooler mornings and evenings, especially in the shoulder seasons. Pack layers- the Canadian weather can surprise you with a quick temperature drop, even on a sunny day.

What's the real challenge at Parkview- is it a course for all skill levels, or does it favor a certain type of player?

Parkview offers a fantastic challenge for mid-handicappers, but higher handicappers will still enjoy it from the forward tees. The course truly tests your accuracy off the tee, especially on the back nine where the tree lines tighten up significantly. Don't let the relatively flat front nine fool you; the elevation changes on holes 12-15 demand precise club selection.

What's the typical green fee at Parkview, and does it include a cart or any other perks?

You can expect green fees at Parkview to range from CAD $60-$90, depending on the day and time you play. Carts are usually an additional fee, but we highly recommend walking this course if you're able-bodied; it's a pleasant stroll and you'll appreciate the scenery more. Keep an eye out for twilight rates, which offer great value later in the day.

Are there any specific holes at Parkview Golf Course that I absolutely shouldn't miss, or unique features I should look out for?

Absolutely, the par-3 7th hole is a stunner, playing over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green- it's a real postcard moment. Also, pay close attention to the approach on the par-4 14th; the green has a subtle false front that can send even well-struck shots rolling back down the fairway. It's a clever design that demands your full attention.

After a round at Parkview, what's the best spot for a post-game drink or a bite to eat, either at the course or nearby?

The clubhouse patio at Parkview is surprisingly good for a casual post-round beer and a burger, offering nice views of the 18th green. If you're looking for something a bit more substantial, we always head to 'The Local Taproom' just a five-minute drive away; their craft beer selection and elevated pub fare are a perfect way to cap off your day.
