News Bulletin: October 8, 2025
On the course
It’s been a banner October for golf at DCC! Here are two important items to consider as we look toward the end of the season:
-
The coming week’s forecast includes nights at or below freezing. Accordingly, the first available daily tee times will be 10:00 AM until the end of the season.
-
As nighttime temperatures dip, it’s important to protect our course by not playing when frost is present. Regular members will receive an email whenever frost forces a temporary course closure until the end of the season. Please watch for those emails on chilly mornings and follow the direction of course staff to help protect our most important asset. The greens crew will ask you to stop your round if you are on the course during frost conditions.
-
Course closure is planned for October 31. (Harsh weather conditions may dictate an earlier closure.)
Please continue to use chronogolf to book your rounds and do not show up earlier than the opening tee times. Also, please do not start your round on tee No. 8.
And please be aware the drinking water stations on No. 3 and No. 5 have been removed for the season. Please bring your own drinking water for the remainder of the season.
Carts: All requests for golf carts must be made by texting or emailing Chris Jackson directly; text 416-455-1519 or email chrisjackson@me.com

Car Rally

Get out your sassiest, most controversial selves because the theme for this year’s car rally is… REALITY TV!!
Organized by Rourke Lowe & Co., the 2025 Car Rally will start at the intersection of Dunany and Boyd Roads at 1 p.m. The cost is $10 per car, please bring cash if possible. Teams can sign up HERE.
Grace Kaufman and Robbie Brooks have volunteered to prepare a dinner menu of pulled pork sandwiches (with a vegetarian option too), mac’ & cheese and coleslaw. Dinner will be served at the clubhouse from 6 p.m. and costs $10 per person. Dinner is open to everyone with no sign up required, tickets will be sold upon arrival.
The annual boat races will follow dinner, at approximately 10 p.m.
Swing & Sweep
Saturday, October 25
This famous interclub event is back again after a successful launch last year! Whether you are a member of the DCC or the Lachute Curling Club, you are invited to a round of golf in the early afternoon at the DCC, followed by a curling match at the Lachute Curling Club.
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an advanced player; the idea is to practice these two wonderful sports the same day. This sporting afternoon will be capped off with a potluck dinner at the Lachute Curling Club, where each participant is invited to bring an appetizer for 8 people. The bar will be available to quench your thirst.
