We all hated the event....Golf Canada missed the mark choosing Oakdale....what a waste of time and money...bought weekend tickets and skipped 2 days, enough said of how bad Oakdale was
So looking forward to Hamilton GC next year to correct the absolutely stupid choice of Oakdale this year.... what a bad Open from an organization, venue and course choice...
The experience was very good. Excellent field of golfers. Bought the week pass. Although I had no trouble parking, extra lots would be helpful. The course was great. I wish they would ban smoking as it was bothersome even outdoors. Yes, I could have moved and did, but why should I?
My husband and I and 4 friends travelled to the Open this year as we do every year, so look forward to it... but this year... the venue was simply abysmal and not even Nick Taylor breaking the Canadian drought could overcome what the six of us agreed was a most dismal open and a mistake of a venue
My son and I attended the AmFam tournament on Sunday. We both thought everything was well planned and executed. Great event!
Simply the worst Canadian Open venue ever...Oakdale is an awful venue for our Open Championship....
Why with such a great story in Nick Taylor did it have to take place in an awful venue, with the immense disorganization.... a great story with Nick and a horrible venue and Open otherwise...the worst I've been to
Concession stands throughout the course were the slowest and most poorly run I've ever experienced.
Went Friday, had 2 tickets as result of my price plus card, however when I tried retrieving tickets on my phone they were no where to be found. Ticket sales lady was great, asked us to sign and include our email, gave us 2 tickets. Walking the area where sponsors were was nice, various free samples was a nice touch. Access to see players and trails roped off for walking course was well planned out. Parking was easy, free was nice. Only negative was when we bought a few hot dogs, guessing around 5 -6 hole, they were terrible, prices were fine.
Looking forward to next year.
thank you Nick Taylor for salvaging what was a horrible Open...choice of venue and organization a disaster.... I look forward to this event all year but this one ....well forget this choice of Oakdale...brutal set up organization and please never go there again ..... and a lame field...
With all the great courses in Canada to choose from for our national Open, why Oakdale, what an awful venue and awful open experience.... been to several and this was the worst venue I've ever been to....
I've been attending Canadian Opens for years all over our country and this was by far and away the worst course and most disorganized poorly run of them all...never would I ever attend at this venue again...disgusting.... only the end with Nick Taylor made it worthwhile...otherwise a disaster...shame on you golf canada for selecting such an awful venue
Horrible event organization...the course too easy for the pros.... long lines, hard to get to the course....would never attend an event at this course ever again... horrible for our national open, bad choice by Golf Canada to go to this venue and to think they're going back again, omg....I won't attend....
Very shocked and disappointed. Drove for 90 minutes to the public parking lot. Arrived to find mayhem. A huge lineup to get into the lot only to find out that’s it was full. No other lots available. Was told to monitor social media to get updates on how they were going to handle the problem. Easier said than done. Very poorly organized especially for a National Open.
I have been attending this event for nearly 20 yrs and always enjoy it' I have been friends with May and Mo the Jutunagarn sisters and Waen Pornanong Phatlum through all these years'. The Course is fantastic and has some very hard holes that makes a great challenge right up to the 54th hole. The layout of the course and viewing areas are great though it can get a bit congested on the Sunday' The amount of work and Money Honda put in to this effect and they are rewarded by the fantastic support they get every year.
Great viewing. Maybe more water taps available.
Outstanding event. Beautiful settings.
The golf course was great and should provide an excellent and interesting challenge to the Ryder Cup teams.
Getting to the event was a total disaster as i was dependent on public transport. Awareness level amongst the general public and especially representatives of various public transport companies was shockingly non existent. This lead to a lack of atmosphere at the venue.
Why did each group not have a board displaying each player's current score to par?
Lovely course but based on this year I would not want to return to the Italian Open.
The event was absolutely spectacular—from the organization to the operation. The Legends is a great format and having Lee Trevino and Nancy Lopez as well as the likes of the animated John Daly made it even more fun. I look forward to returning this Year.
Outstanding Experience. We were able to see the best players in the world up close, unlike a PGA Tour event. Would have liked a larger selection of gear.
