Carleton Place Restaurant Survey
Ted MacDonald did a survey of 28 local restaurants. He did not do the fast food on highway 7 but did do the main ones. Hopefully, he will become our regular food reporter. If he missed any restaurants let us know and he will do them. Ted is also featured as our person of the day! Thank you Ted!

Scottish Glen Golf Course Scottish Glen Golf Course does not have a magnificent clubhouse or manicured fairways but what it does have is a tremendous layout that uses the rolling hills and natural flow of the country side. I would say it's key features are changes in elevation, dogleg fairways and enough water here and there to make it an interesting and challenging course that you can play over and over again and not become bored in the least. It is also a very scenic course. Some times you just look around at the vista and say to yourself “this is beautiful”. The course is a nine hole 3,065 yard par 36. Don't dismiss it just because it is a nine hole. It is challenging enough and a good workout if you decide to walk it. Prices are very reasonable at $15 on weekdays and $18 on weekends. Add $10 for a power cart. Bring cash as they don't take plastic yet. The first hole is a 476 yard par 5. Downhill with a slight dogleg to the right. Trees on both sides and a pond with lots of bullfrogs on the right just before the green. If you can make the top of the hill at about 180 yards with your drive you will be in good shape for par. We shorter hitters just like to get over and a bit down the hill in two. The second hole is a 329 yard par 4. You pull a u turn off the first green to get to the second tee. It is back up the hill to an elevated green. The first 200 yards or so is pretty flat then strait up the hill and on to the green. If I get on top of the hill in two I am happy. The third hole is a 152 yard par 3. Up the path to the elevated third tee. It is a sharp drop down about 35 feet just off the tee. The green is protected by a ball eating pond just in front referred to as Bart's big ball washer. There is a small bunker on the left. Due to the 35 feet drop in elevation I tend to play this more like a 125 yard depending on tee placement. Get on the green and you are good for par or better. Miss the narrow fairway or splash down in the pond and 5s and 6s come into play. The fourth hole is a 375 yard par 4. The fairway is on the side of the hill that dominates the first three holes. If you hit on the left you will have an awkward side hill lie. The fairway doglegs left and you can't always see the pin after your drive. Small bunker on the right of the green. Because of the shape and slant and blind second shot of this fairway most tend to miss the green to the right. The fifth hole is a 508 yard par 5. The fairway narrows about 100 yards off the tee and there are many balls in the shrubs there. I swallow my pride and play from the red tees on this hole. If you go too far right you can get into lots of trouble and I have seen some big scores from that side. There is a sixty degree dogleg right at the end of fairway to make things even more interesting. The sixth hole is a 370 yard par 4. It looks easier than it is. It narrows around 200 yards and there is a small creek there to catch your ball. Watch where you tee the ball as the tee box can slant to the right encouraging a slice into the woods. The seventh hole is a 376 yard par 4. It is wide enough fairway but many balls seem to end up in the pine trees on the right. There is a large swampy area on the left. Scenic but if you put a ball in here you won't find it. The dominating feature of this whole is the pond/creek that crosses the fairway about 250 yards out. You have to decide to layup or go for the glory and try for the elevated green. Many a ball has found its way into the pond by a glory seeker. The eight hole is a 177 yard par 3. From the tee down through a small valley then up to the green. Pine trees on the right and water on the left. There is a small creek about 140 yards out that also eats golf balls. The ninth hole is a 300 yard par 4. Sharp drop off the tee to water and then up the hill to a ninety degree dogleg left. There are trees on the left and you can not see the flag from the tee or if you don't make it up the hill on your first swing. The big hitters try to go over the trees and land it blind on the green. They don't always make it. The green is the hardest on the course. Lots of slope. If you are putting downhill even a slow moving putt can roll ten feet past the hole. Three and even four putts are not unusual on the ninth. They have recently opened a driving range and have a putting green where you can practice your game or just bring the kids to whack a bucket of balls.
