Golf courses around Cambridge, Kitchener/Waterloo, Brantford and near the Grand River are feeling the effects of a storm this past weekend. Vulnerable areas were hit with flooding Saturday as swift currents brought trees and debris down the Grand River. Flows on the Grand peaked around noon Saturday in the 900 cubic metres per second range. Typical summer flow is 15 cubic metres per second.

Flood warnings continue for the areas of Cambridge, Brantford and Haldimand county. But many areas in the northern portion of the Grand River watershed have been downgraded to a flood watch, according to an update release by the Grand River Conservation Authority.
Deer Ridge Golf Club which just hosted the PGA Championship of Canada has extensive flooding and will remained closed until the staff is better able to assess the damage and clean up requirements. Galt golf club, Doon Valley, Conestogo and others are feeling the effects of the high water levels.
