About Us
In 2018, we started as a small group of 8 players looking to play some weekend golf with a competitive twist. Little did we know, there were others out there just like us.
So we set a mission to create something unique, an experience to look forward to, and a community to feel a part of.
​
225 proud members later (and counting), we continue on our journey to create the largest community of amateur golfers in Canada.
We'll see you out there!
Net Stableford Scoring
This is based on a player’s net score (after strokes are applied), per hole. Points are allocated as below:
0 points: 2+ strokes over par
1 point: 1 stroke over par
2 points: par
3 points: 1 stroke under
4 points: 2 strokes under
5 points: 3 strokes under
Rain or Shine
We want to assure you that our events will never be cancelled due to weather conditions. Rain shine, we will play through it. In case of a delay or lightning, we will monitor the weather and keep you updated through a group text. If we have to cancel the remaining holes, the course will issue rain cheques for the remaining holes to be played. If you choose to leave, you will be marked DNF.
