Royal Niagara Golf Club - Old Canal Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Old Canal Course is one of three nine-hole courses at the Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club. Situated between the scenic Niagara Escarpment and the Bruce Trail, the Old Canal Course is named after the historic 120-year-old Welland Canal that borders it. The challenging layout was designed to championship standards, employing several tricky elements including carefully sculpted fairways, rolling greens, and king-size bunkers. True to its name, the golf course features plenty of water throughout. There are several dramatically placed tees perched on the edges of the canal, providing stunning scenery that is unmatched in the Niagara region. All three courses at Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club were built to the same high standards, but each one offers a unique set of challenges.

Best review ever
Great starters,
I was teamed up with 2 other golfers and it couldn’t have gone better.
Course was awesome, greens were fast and true.
I will golf there again!
Great afternoon of golf
Course was in great shape and staff were very friendly. Could have moved a little quicker. The ranger tried to speed things up but some groups were still very slow. Might want to educate some of the golfers on basic etiquette like fixing ball marks and raking bunkers.
Great Conditions Great Value
Played RN many times … have never seen it in such great condition. Staff are incredibly friendly and service is excellent. Highly recommend.
Great Niagara Golf Course
I been playing this course for decades, and enjoy it. Unfortunately, it rained a lot the day before so it was cart path only.
Great MorningRound
Really enjoyed my first round at Royal Niagara. The course was in great shape and there was a real variety of difficulty within the two (of 3 nines) tracks. We played Escarpment and Old Canal. We were supposed to play Iron Bridge on the back, but there was a huge group on the first tee and the Marshall quickly, and thankfully, moved us to the next nine. The only thing that wasn’t great was the tedious electronic waiver form which could be improved. Staff was great and I’ll definitely be going back again.
good course
We played in under 3 hrs with a 15 min rain stoppage. Signage could be better where paths split.
Course is dead. They have priced it too high. It is a $50 course not more.
Terrible pace
3 1/2 hours from nine made the turn to hole 10 and we were the fourth to t off. Unbelievable, called the pro shop and they said they would send someone out well too late, never seen a marshal up to my call. Called back to the pro shop asked for a comped round and they hung up on me. Never again. Callled golf now and I have an ongoing case # with them. Poor, book elsewhere and save yourself a huge headache.
Horrible pace
31/2 hours front nine nine, made the turn to 10 and we were four deep on the tee box no marshalling anywhere until I called and they sent someone to do what? Way too late to do anything. Asked for a rain check because of pace of play and got hung
Up on .. unbelievable. Called golf now and I am now holding a case # waiting for a response. Been a member of GN for many years and this was by far the longest round ever. Quit after 9 and and in called GN and stated my complaint. Let’s see what happens.
Great Niagara Course
1st of the season and the course looks good. Greens still need time to get in peek performance. 1st time I played in 3 1/2 hours. Glad to see marshals out.
Great course
Played a last second round and the deal was outstanding. Course conditions were very nice, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely would recommend and come back again.
Best course in Niagara
Played for the first time, what a course. Cart path in impressive. We played Iron bridge/Escarpment. Fairway and greens are beautiful. A must play.
