Unbeknownst to most golfers, a case of the yips can come on as a result of paying too much for a round of golf. Swing smoothly on the putting greens without worrying about monetary greens at Riverstone Golf & Country Club, which offers you two choices of WagJags:

• $29 for 9 holes of golf for 2 including cart (a $67 value)
• $139 for a 45-minute playing lesson for 3 including cart (a $275 value)

Highlights of the Course

Riverstone's nine-hole championship course is a semi-private, par 35 that spans 2,600 yards alongside the West Humber River. Easily walkable and even easier to cart through, the course features two large ponds and many tree-lined fairways. Golf newbies and younger putters will want to check out Riverstone's executive nine holes; a well-conditioned course that's highly-conducive to family outings.

Tips for Success on the Greens

Ye be warned of the trees and water features flanking the holes. As a rule of thumb, favour accuracy over length on this shot-maker's course.

Club Comforts

Private and playing lessons taught by CPGA pro Jason Stewart are available for mediocre golfers determined to turn scratch, while a pro shop stocks all the supplements you'll need to play. Memberships to Riverstone's fitness centre, which includes four squash courts and a full-scale gym, are available to the public on a month-to-month basis.

To Please the Golfer's Palate
