Minus 2 and the golf course is still white. Very doubtful we will get anything open today. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!

"Minus 3 degrees and cooling" doesn't suggest an early round of golf today. The freeze set in pretty early last night, so we'll likely be on temps when we're able to start. Check back for an update around lunchtime to see what we're in for today.

There's a pretty chilly breeze out there, with some frost on the back nine to start the day. We should start on time, though, and will most likely have the back open by the time the first groups finish playing the front. Enjoy the day.

It is one of those mornings where the frost hasn't hit but could any time if the temperature drops a bit. We received another 10mm of rain overnight which shouldn't affect much of anything golf wise. The forecast is for a touch of rain latter in the day so all in all a good day for golf. We'll see you out there.

Wow 7c this morning...we'll take it. It looks like the bulk of the bad weather is south of us so we should enjoy a good day today. We had 20mm ( .8 in ) of rain overnight so there will be wet areas on the course but if you are prepared it shouldn't be to bad. The birdies are waiting.

4c with cloud cover translates to no frost this morning. The start should be on time. There was a bit of rain overnight so the greens will be receptive. There are 7 holes out there with excellent birdie chances so be prepared. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

I hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday. We have a bit of frost this morning so we will have a short delay. Should get started by 10:00am.

Nature's early Christmas gift to us here at Pheasant Glen was a bit of rain and mild overnight temperatures. With the greens thawed out the entire course will be open today until 3:00.

May Santa be good to you (and to me - let's not forget about me) tonight. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve hours 8:30am-3:00pm. Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Front nine is open on regular greens except #2, it will stay on a temp for the day. The sun is out and it is another great December day of golf.

We will open on temps this morning. Although it was a little warmer last night the greens are still frozen and the rain we recieved is sitting on top. We will monitor throughout the day and get them back to regular greens as soon as we can. Driving range is open.

-3c with clear skies....frost....we might get to temps around 11:00ish and it might be cold enough to stay on temps all day. We'll know more at noon. Stay tuned for an update closer to 12:00 and hopefully it will warm up nicely and the greens will thaw out.

Clear skies with a sliver of a moon showing and a canopy of stars....and frost. Check for updates on the start time but I wouldn't get too excited until 10:30 ish. Enjoy the sunshine today as it might be the last for awhile.

Another mild morning this morning so another frost free start to the day. I can take a full winter of this weather. Bring your A game today and bag a bunch of birdies, they're there for the taking. We'll see you out there.

2c with a chance of rain....sounds bad unless you want to golf first thing this morning, then maybe not so bad. Frost is not an issue so far and won't be unless it clears at all, then, maybe. Enjoy your day whatever you do.

A warm breeze with a temperature of 6c ..... almost seems like spring not Christmas. We'll take it. It looks like a great week with sunny skies all the way out to the weekend. It is a great week for golf for those who are done shopping and for those who aren't , well, you can start panicking soon. Enjoy your week and we'll see you out there.

Another beautiful day to lead us into the week before Christmas. A round of golf before a panic-stricken shopping spree will have you acting just like certain members of the maintenance crew. Conditions are perfect today, so don't miss out on a bit of exercise. Enjoy your day.

A bit of rain and mild overnight temperature have been very kind to us. The entire golf course will be open today. We have only one temp to start the day, and even that may change by the time the first groups reach the back nine. The greens are being rolled and bunkers raked as we speak, so come on out and enjoy your round.

There's been 8mm of rain overnight and the temperature is still 2c so there is no frost. There is a down side though. It hasn't been warm enough or rained enough to thaw out the greens as of yet. We will start on time but on temps. If it warms up and or rains more we should get the front nine greens open today. Patience is a virtue and also the word of the day.

There is a snowfall warning for east Vancouver Island this morning, that is supposed to change to light rain this afternoon and taper off overnight. Stay in bed, keep warm and enjoy your day. Tomorrow may be better.

With a light dusting of snow this morning the atmosphere around here is purely magical. One can almost see the elves busily getting ready for Santa's big run. ( If you believe that we have a bridge to sell you ). According to the radar the snow and rain is over for the time being, now we have to wait for the snow to melt to get the course open. That will be sooner if it starts to rain and latter if it keeps snowing. Winter, bah humbug. Check back for updates.

-3c this morning with heavy frost...it is a good chance today to catch up on your sleep and or just about anything else other than golf this morning. The skies are clear so the sun should melt the frost around the same time as it usually does ( 11:00ish ). We will be on temps when we do start and will move to regular greens as soon as the greens thaw out. There are some nice gift ideas in the pro-shop in case your not done Christmas shopping so come out and finish off your holiday shopping. We'll see you out there.

The cloud cover at this time of year is a blessing if you have anything to do with golf. There should be no frost this morning if the cloud cover stays. All bets are off though, if the skies clear because then the temperature will certainly drop and frost may form. As of now we are expecting a normal start with the front nine greens open.The back nine should of had time to thaw out and we'll open it as soon as possible. Enjoy your round of golf today and we'll see you out there.

It would be nice if the temperature would stop dropping. Check back around 10:30 for the latest (hopefully positive) news.

Since I arrived here this morning the clouds have moved on and the temperature has dropped accordingly. If you're a fan of frost you'll be happy to know that it is settling in nicely. We golfers and maintenance workers, however, are not so thrilled. There's a chance that a few of the greens may open up later in the day, but for the moment that is only hearsay and shouldn't be taken as gospel. Check back for an update on the frost at 9:00 or so; we should have a better idea then of what the day will bring us.

It was closer to 11:00 by the time we got going on temps yesterday, and today looks (and feels) about the same. Lots of time for a big breakfast and some Christmas shopping in the morning.

Is there really a commentator's curse?? I know it works when golf commentators comment on how well a golfer putts, hits greens, etc. the shot never comes off as it should. I guess if it works for a comment on frost free days maybe it will work on frosty mornings as well. We shall see!!! There will be a delay in the start time this morning. Don't get too excited until around ( around ) 10:00 ish. Someone will update as we get closer to opening. We'll see you out there.

Could this be a record for the greatest number of days without a frost delay at this time of year? I think it might, though I don't keep that sort of information on record so I don't really know. Today looks like it's going to be a carbon copy of yesterday, so it will be a good day to come golfing and forget all about your Christmas stresses for awhile. The course is dry and the greens are fast. I hear by the grapevine that there are lots of birdies for the taking so come prepared. We'll see you out there. 

Another frost free morning ( so far ) . The forecast is for a shower or two this afternoon but if you look at the satellite images there doesn't seem to be a cloud in the region. Go figure. Enjoy your round of golf today and we'll see you out there.

A little cooler this morning than yesterday but still no frost. If everything stays the same we should start on time. The day ahead looks good for a game of golf so come out and experience summer like conditions without all that nasty heat and glaring sunshine. We'll see you out there.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was typical winter weather. A balmy 5c this morning with a promise of sunshine mixed in with cloudy periods bodes well for a great golf day. The course is in summer condition with the front nine fairways cut and the rest of the course in the process of being cut. Remember, layers is the key when planning your golf attire, you don't want to overheat in the warm weather. There are lots of birdies out there so plan accordingly. We'll see you out there.

Wow can you believe it! Fairways are being cut, bunkers are being groomed and no frost! What a great December we are having so far.

Once again, no frost to start the day. If the clouds hang around for an hour or two we'll be able to start on time. Enjoy the day.

If I may take a blogger's shortcut, please see yesterday's post for accurate information about today. Another beautiful day with no delay on start times. Have fun.

It looks like the wonderful day yesterday is going to be followed up with another wonderful day today. It might not get as hot today so everyone plan your apparel for the day with care ( layers,layers, layers). So far the start should be on time as there is some cloud cover but if it clears off and frosts over the delay won't be long. Play well and we'll see you out there.
