A frustrating round
We were situated between multiple foursomes for the course's mens night. There were two other Nines we could have been placed on, which would not have been as slow. So the course around us was fairly open, while the nine we were playing was slow. Once we moved to the back nine and the men's night was over, pace of play was FAR better. Greens were in bad shape, and the rough was unplayable.
fun afternoon at Ariss Valley
greens are good, course in good shape but the tee decks were a bit rough
Northern Dunes
Very few tee boxes with grass on them. Some holes with interesting and challenging layout and designs. Few greens were heavily damaged with large dead spots. Surrounding cottage courses are in better shape at similar pricing.
Golf Now Needs a Phone Number
I had to work unexpectedly and called the course to cancel. They were very accommodating even though I was less than 24hrs from the Tee Time.
The course had no issue with a refund but I was unable to contact Golf now for a refund. I will never use the app again and will not recommend anyone use it. It is unacceptable that there is no way to actually talk to anyone.
I might find A Tee Time with the app but I will never book it through the app again.
Lots Of Water
due to recent rains there was laying water all over the course, ( Cart Path Only) Everything was saturated, but it was still great to be golfing. Pace was awesome we were done 18 in 3.5 hours. Want to get back soon on a dry day, we always enjoy playing here.
Cart Path ONLY
Enjoyable round at this course, played Pines/Willows. Due to a lot of water on the course from recent heavy rains, it was cart path only, which slowed down the round a fair bit and greens were pretty slow too. However, I will be back, good value for the money. Many tee boxes were not the greatest but far better than other very negative comments I have seen in here. Will definitely play here again!
Please lower the mower blades
Good overall layout but conditions are a bit poor in spots. Lowering the mower blades an inch would greatly improve this course
A gem in the making
The course has very large greens, lots of water and trees that make the layout a virtual gem. The problem was we could see the gem that is Ariss but it needs better maintenance to bring out the real beauty. There were areas on the greens that looked like there was still winter damage and the fairways were not very well cut or seeded. The greens if manicured could be wicked with all the undulations they have, and I look forward to that. Please don’t get me wrong, I truly believe the course can be truly outstanding once it is maintained more so than it appeared to be and with the clubhouse renovations completed it can only add to the level of refinement it will have. You owe yourself at least a look because despite the issues I noted this could be visually among the better courses near the GTA.
