Bathurst Glen Golf Club
Bathurst Glen Golf Club, situated just north of Toronto, is owned and operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation, who placed a heavy emphasis on environmental sustainability during the development of the course. Its commitment to protecting the natural landscape even earned the Bathurst Glen certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary course. The executive layout measures to 4,551 yards from the back tees, a manageable length for beginners but there are still some challenges in store for more advanced golfers. The large, undulating greens are balanced by wide fairways that offer plenty of room. The strategically placed bunkers adhere to the natural contours of the
landscape and trees frame most of the holes. Bathurst Glen Golf Club's signature hole is the par-4 14th. This tough hole has two sand traps fronting a sloped green.

- I golf regularly at Bathurst Glen. There have been many improvements this year, including the excellent surface of the greens, renovations to the bunkers, a new fence near the #18th green and the ongoing grooming everywhere on the property.Right off the get go it was a pretty poor experience. I had a tee-time booked for 2 at 11:56. My friend and I arrived on time, however, when we go there it was obvious that they had over booked. The line up at the starter must have been four groups long, with many of them foursomes. The people in front of us said they had a tee-time at 12:20, yet they teed off before us for some odd reason. It would have made sense for my group of two to tee-off first as we were driving, and overall better players than the two in front of us who were elderly and walking. Generally, I wouldn't mind, and everybody has their own pace of play, which is fine, but course etiquette has to come into play at some point. It took us nearly 3 hours to play the front nine which included the majority of holes as par threes.
Secondly, the staff. The starter at the beginning of the day, though friendly, clearly lost control of the start times and the groups. However, it was when we finally finished the front nine when things got hairy. We pulled up to the tenth tee, and I'll add at this point that we were the last group to tee off before a summer camp, so there wasn't a group behind us. I got out of the cart to get some refreshments from the clubhouse as there was no beverage cart going around the course. I go in and place an order, the woman said it would be a couple of minutes, so I should take the drinks to the cart and go back and get the food. When I did this the starter (who was different than the one in the morning) shouted at me and told me I was holding up play by going back and forth, even though there was nobody behind me. Said I was the one with no etiquette, which I found ironic. All in all, it was an atrocious experience.
The course was poorly maintained. There mustn't be a sprinkler system as the ground, from fairway to rough, and everything inbetween was rock hard. I won't be golfing at this course again, and I would suggest nobody else does either.
