Carnoustie Golf Club Tee Times

Carnoustie Golf Course is a hidden gem in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada. The conditioning is amazing. Fairways in super shape and the greens roll true. There are challenging dogleg holes and some easier holes too. You will enjoy your day. Oh and the food is awesome especially the hot dog I had after 9 holes 😋.

Played Carnoustie Golf Club today and it was a decent round but a few thoughts on this one 1. It is definitely not an $85 (after taxes) course…more of a 50-55 course at best but you can always grab a tee time 2. I’ve seen better greens at pitch & putts, so bumpy, sandy or just no grass at all 3. They really need to take care of the sewage issue between hole 13 & 14, just smelled absolutely putrid 4. Concessions was actually nicely priced and hots dogs were good there 5. In a pinch, the course is usually easily available and very challenging (6000 yards from the whites) but wouldn’t be my top course to play 6. Decent drainage, but uneven fairways which makes for a good challenge for footing 7. Lots of distracting noises if not your cup of tea from drones, helicopter and planes oddly, but minor details 8. The tee boxes were extremely hit & miss with many of the par 4/5 tee boxes basically landmines of bumpy/chunked up ground from bad drives…I’d expect that for par 3’s but par 4 & 5’s were odd. Curious how often they rotate the tee boxes (if at all as they always seem to be in same spot when I play) 9. Pace of play was ok…started at 12:10, finished at 4:50…always waiting each hole and think group in front from 12:00pm tee time the same too 10. Apparently this course is not very welcoming for singles. You can't book as a single, and apparently they don't let people do walk ons as a singles either. I haven't experienced the latter myself, but heard from others via FB group that they don't let singles come on

It is close to my house so it is convenient. The biggest issue with this course is that the tee times are 8 minutes apart instead of 10. This along with the fact that it is a public course and you will get people of all skill sets means it will slow down. Afternoon rounds are 5 hours easily. Just know this going in. I have been playing golf for over 40 years. I shoot in the low 80’s. I have never been considered a slow golfer. On my last round we played at 4 hours and 8 minutes, yet the Marshall was all over us from the first hole. He waited for us on the ninth and yelled at us that we were 10 minutes behind. Not only that but the foursome behind us was just on the ninth tee box. Not sure who he is talking to adults like that but I had enough of him and told him to back off. He ruined our play for the next 4 holes. I did bring it up when I finished up. That guy is the wrong guy for the job.

While the course itself is lovely, the behavior of the Marshall and Pro Shop was terrible. I expected a certain level of etiquette, but unfortunately, I will not be returning. Summary of the experience: Delayed Start: We had a 7:30 AM tee time, but with no starter present and congestion ahead, we were forced to tee off 8 minutes late. Unreasonable Marshalling: Immediately after the 1st hole, a Marshall warned us we were behind schedule. I explained we were delayed due to the groups ahead of us. Constant Harassment: The Marshall returned at Hole 3 and threatened to skip us ahead if we didn't speed up—despite the fact that we were waiting on the group in front of us at every tee box. He continued to interrupt us every few holes. Unhelpful Pro Shop: We called the shop mid-round to report the harassment, but nothing changed. The Pace: The Marshall insisted the pace should be 4:10. We finished in 4:25. Considering we started late due to course congestion, this was a very reasonable pace. I have played enough full-length courses to know this was not normal. The Marshall was aggressive, failed to analyze the actual traffic on the course, and ruined the experience.

Very disappointing experience at Carnoustie Golf Course. We played here today and were repeatedly disturbed and harassed by an older lady who was driving a golf cart and appeared to be managing the course. For about five holes (nearly an hour), she followed and scolded us, claiming we were beginners and should let other groups play through — even though we were actually waiting on every hole for the group ahead of us. She also threatened to remove us from the course because we “didn’t have 14 clubs per person,” which is a rule I’ve never heard of in all my years golfing. Her tone was rude, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. We’ve played at many golf courses and have never encountered treatment like this. It was an unpleasant and disappointing experience, and I would strongly advise management to review how staff interact with players.
