SPRING INTO GOLF

 Ah the vagaries of Mother Nature – she giveth and she taketh away! 

Spring into Golf is an initiative of the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada. Almost 50 of our golf course members in South Central Ontario have banded together each spring for the last 9 years to offer a day of free golf that creates excitement to start a new season. 

One of the conditions that encourages golf courses to offer up to 5,000 free rounds is that the day carries on regardless of spring conditions that could range from a bright, sunny warm day to cold, wet conditions. 

Knowing that Canadians are a hardy bunch and that golfers in particular are eager to get out and enjoy knocking that little white ball around, as long as the superintendent deems that the conditions are playable (course is open) pro shop staff will enthusiastically welcome you for play. 

Rain cheques are not a part of this promotion as per our terms and conditions (#9).

With this parameter established, courses are able to block off tee times months in advance while continuing to book events for all days following this kick-start to the season. For this reason, it is not possible for most facilities to set aside another day to accommodate up to 5,000 free rounds since play is now booked through the season. 

Golf course operators are just as disappointed as you are when conditions are less than ideal. For Spring into Golf, the “free” day is a chance to meet and greet new faces to showcase all that comes together for an enjoyable playing experience at their course.

We sincerely hope that you are able to make the best of whatever conditions are encountered and appreciate that each course is only able to do the same under their own circumstances.

Here’s to a great golf season that gives us all the enjoyment that this great game offers.
