Had one last round at Annandale Golf mid November 2020, now that the land has been sold. The course is set among a dramatic river valley and, yeah, conditioning has not been their forte over the years and some of the oldest trees have sadly succumbed to the brutality of time. But for the price offered to a member's guests, this place still offers dramatic elevation changes, challenges, frustrations and the kind of value and fun that makes golf worthwhile.

This is by FAR the worst course I've ever been to. Even for the cost of 40, it is not even close to being worth the money. There are no redeeming qualities about this course at all. Overall, the course is not dynamic and not maintained whatsoever. The first issue is the Tee Box. The ground is extremely uneven and hard, making setting up a proper Tee very difficult. Next, the fairway, shown in one of the pictures, is completely dead and sometimes even devoid of grass entirely. The ground is so hard that its almost impossible to use your irons. There are massive holes in the fairway that will cause your ball to ricochet off into the rough, even after a perfect drive. Next, you'll get to the putting greens. As shown below, they're anything but green. These pictures are from Hole 7, in which there are massive portions of the putting green that have no grass at all; you would have to use a sand wedge to get your ball out of there. Please also note the below picture of a live and active ant hole, which was also on the Hole 7 putting green. Unfortunately, this issue was not exclusive to Hole 7, as all the putting greens were to some degree as bad. Lastly, the cart trails are very rough, uneven and extremely dusty. If you have back problems or dust allergies, this will be a nightmare for you. Keep an eye on your golf bag because the ride is so rough it may fall off the cart. In regards to the staff, they were friendly enough. Unfortunately that doesn't do much for the course. Keep in mind, they will automatically put you with other people in order to reach a party of 4, even with the current COVID-19 situation. When you book your tee time, you are NOT told this. Guys, save yourself the agony, go to 4 Seasons Golf Club in north Pickering. It's maybe 10-15 minutes further north. The prices there are very reasonable, only slightly more expensive than Annandale. The course is such a good quality they could easily charge at least double their current rate.
For just over 35 for twilight and a cart, I don't know why people are complaining. I've played other courses at this price and they are trash, I find this one to be enjoyable and challenging. I will say the fairways are pretty dry and some of the greens are brown. Cart paths are rough, and this course is insane for losing golf balls. I must've lost at least 10 on an 18 hole course. Nonetheless, some fun holes and a pretty quick game. I think I finished the whole thing in just under 3 hours, which is quicker than normal for me.
Great pricing and great range....Urgently Needs a Marshall or staff to move beginners not following rules. Lovely views! Great for beginners—grass and greens 2/5. Bring extra balls!
You get what you pay for. Price is great and the course has potential however it's just not maintained. The cart path is the worst I've ever been on. Some holes are decent with nice views. The back 9 is much better than the front 9. Expect to loose a lot of balls and the fairway grounds can be very hard. Don't expect much from the washrooms too. If you want something under 50 with cart and if its close to your house then try it out. Just don't have high expectations.
