Posting the day after the round, but in all honesty I needed a day to recover and try and forget about how many golf balls I lost during the round! The rains have only allowed me to play one round so far this trip, but it was my first time playing Glen Dornoch, and outside of not playing well, I enjoyed the layout. The course was in good condition, especially after two straight days of rain. The course had some very interesting holes, and played extremely long due to the conditions. As much as losing golf balls hurt my score, my chipping and putting was what lost it for me. The greens were very firm, but also very slow rolling putts. Can't count how many times I would blow a chip past the hole then leave the putt super short.
One extremely valuable lesson learned for the day...Don't drive a golf cart with your foot hanging out past the edge. Somehow I managed to get my foot caught between the railroad ties next to the path and a moving golf cart, and at the moment I swore I broke my ankle!
Glen Dornoch is a challenging course, especially if rusty.
The greens were new in 2018.
Good tip not to have leg outside of the cart.
Thanks for reporting!

thanks for the report. happy to hear that GD drains well these days. on my visits there the place always seemed soggy-even without recent rains.
Slow, fast, rusty, or playing well, i think GD is one of the tougher courses in MB.
Welcome Shollen
Thanks for your report and looking forward to more.
I really like the surroundings @GD.
No homes, a couple good waterway holes.
Very nice place

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the report. That's a good tip re leaving your foot hanging outside the cart. I do it all the time and have been lucky so far
Thanks @shollen for your valuable input about a course I do personnally consider tough!
And hope your ankle is OK!

Thanks for the update on the course, haven't played it yet but on the radar. It is nice to hear your say nice things about the course even though you played bad.
As for your ankle tip, watched a guy break his foot doing that it can be ugly. Hope you are OK!
Let the Big Dawg Bark!!!
