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
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.
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.
An amazing experience! The food was delicious and the golf played was phenomenal! Staff was very kind and helpful as well. Would definitely recommend going this coming tournament.
Omg… I have never been more ashamed of Canadians ever. It was a drunk fest not a golf tournament where there is an etiquette. As far as the course goes that hosted it they did a terrible job. Line ups for the concessions from 45 minutes to an hour. At the end of the tournament when leaving there was so much garbage and beer cans on the ground it was discussing. There were even beer cans in the toilets. Needed much more security to get the drunks out. The golfers were harassed by the heckling. This was a terrible experience and now I see why no golfers want to come to this tournament. I have heard a rumour that it will be held at this course next year. I personally would not attend.
A terrible experience.
Beautiful golf course however concessions were very slow and dis organized, not alot of garbage and recycling stations ,outhouses full of beer cans in the actual house and in the tank, disgusting!!
Obnoxious drunk fans heckling and yelling at golfers, where's the security,oh I know , sitting along the ropes blocking paying customers views.
Disappointed! Expensive tickets and difficult to access food and drinks. Not nearly enough staff on hand at any concession stands. Most lines 45 mins. No debit or cash. Not enough stands for spectators. For Canada’s only major. We need to do sooooo much better.
