Stanley Park Pitch and Putt Updates
October 15, 2022: This past week the greens were aerated and sanded. This means that the greens are very sandy. Bring a towel to clean your balls and clubs.
October 13, 2022: We played the Queen Elizabeth Park Pitch and Putt today. The 18th hole is closed because the netting behind it was burned along with a building in a fire. The course was ok. The greens were recently aerated and sanded so were not that great.
October 12, 2022: We played the Rupert Park Pitch and Putt today. Parts of the front nine are muddy. The greens were not in great shape. There are a lot of leaves on the course so we lost a few balls. Even yellow balls were hard to find with many yellow leaves. Orange balls are probably the best.
