Saw Hillcrest Farm on coverage last year, that's a trek! How would you say the courses in the other Canadian provinces compare to Hillcrest?After our trip to Maine this summer, I'm now at 21 States played, and 4 Canadian Provinces. I was fortunate to play 2 courses in each of the Provinces, including Hillcrest Farm!!

Safe travels to end the year!Alabama, Missisippi and maybe Arkansas are most likely next up, hopefully before the end of the year. Then hoping to do a spring summer trip northeast or midwest.
The two I played around Quebec City were both very flat, probably because they were in the St. Lawrence River valley.Saw Hillcrest Farm on coverage last year, that's a trek! How would you say the courses in the other Canadian provinces compare to Hillcrest?
Re Hillcrest - Glad to hear that the course was still impressive after the storm rolled through. Did it look like a large # of trees were lost?The two I played around Quebec City were both very flat, probably because they were in the St. Lawrence River valley.
NB - 1 avg school course and a surprisingly interesting park course in Saint John. Had some fun rock formations for pin positions, but also a few overgrown and rough holes.
PEI - the other course I played was on a ball golf course. No too bad a layout, but they did use some woods that are available.
NS - The 18 holer was a combo of gravel road fairways, moderately open fairways and a few fairways carved out of the some of the thickest forest (both quantity and quality) that I have seen. Also, a nice little beginner friendly course in Halifax.
Hillcrest Farm - probably the best element is the property the course is located on, very hilly- creates a lot of fast greens, picturesque water hazards - #11 has to be one of the nicest looking holes in DG!, open land - just a few moderately open holes to give you a break from the woods. Oh yea, and a John Houch design to bring all those elements together!!
My visit was just after the course was reopened, so I could see the effects of how much work had to be done to get it reopened. Hats off to all of those that put the hard work in!!
So fun getting to play my 2nd Houck course, so many of the holes felt familiar.We had a trip planned for the summer of 2020 that would have taken us to two more provinces of Canada where I haven't been or played. That trip got canceled, of course, and we haven't rescheduled it. I've played in 5 provinces, so I guess it would be nice to add more.
Hillcrest, on Prince Edward Island, is definitely in my top five. But we were there in 2013, long before the hurricane that damaged it. Idk what kind of shape it is in now.
Yeah, when I lived in Wisconsin and then Iowa, neither location was close to Minnesota. It is certainly a state I want to get to sooner or later.I'm surprised you haven't got MN in there being all around IL, IA, WI. However, you got a good one coming up in Vermont! So beautiful out there.
What time is it right now? Remember to look at a clock in 6 hours and remind yourself you could have been playing a new state.Did some google mapping and the closest course in states I haven't played are all 5-6 hours away so unless work takes me to a state I haven't played in it could be tough to get a new state in 2024.
Not impossibility though.
Maryland
Pennsylvania. . .
Virginia
