Rating N/A

Located on the outskirts of the southwestern city of Guelph, Ariss Valley Golf & Country Club offers 27 holes of scenic golf that sprawl across a rolling landscape of trees and ponds. The Willows golf course is one of the three nine-hole courses at the club. The Willows features an abundance of trees that demand accuracy and keen course management. Water hazards come into play on a few holes and there are also strategically placed, Ohio white sand bunkers throughout the course. Ariss Valley Golf & Country Club's Willow course offers a fair challenge, but it is also approachable for beginning and intermediate players. The other two golf courses provide plenty of other golfing options as well.

good course some sloppy greens.

good value for your money, but with that being said, some of the greens are burnt, with a few of them having large patches of burnt/unmaintained grass.

Poor operation

My game was forced to finish by the staff even before the sunset it was 7:30 pm. I have never experienced such a rude golf course for 20 years my golf life.

Not what it used to be

Terrible greens terrible fairways feels like you're playing the rough off the fairways. This course used to be beautiful. The new owners have not done a thing to it.

Poor pace & conditions

It was a Sunday round, but 5:10 was too long. Waiting at every tee was frustrating. Played Willows / Lakes. The conditions on Lakes were poor. Many issues with the greens specifically. Also, Tee boxes are very uneven and in poor shape.

Ariss has availability because of their 27 holes, otherwise it is not one of my preferred courses in the area.

Nice lay-out poor condition

I like this layout, staff were great but the course is dry and scrubby. Serious burn-out on some greens and fairways. Needs fertilizer and water. Plenty water.

Greens are in extremely bad condition

I hadn't played this course in a few years and was excited to return. I like that they have three nine-hole courses to choose from and the course is very pretty. Unfortunately the grounds have really been let go, the greens are brown and dead in a lot of spots. I haven't seen a course this poorly maintained in a long time, it's really unfortunate because there's so much potential here but I won't be returning anytime soon.
