Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Willows Course
About
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.

Great Value
Great course, good pace, and the staff were fantastic.
Window day
Course was in decent shape considering it was Nov 5. Staff including the Marshall were very curious and helpful.
Enjoyable
Considering the time of year and the very high winds that day, the coarse was in really good shape.
Neglected
This is a golf course that I always liked to play. Nice layout and large greens. However I feel it is being neglected! The greens are in very poor condition and the T boxes are in need of maintenance.
I won't be back..
Decent for fall golf
Last minute decision to play and Ariss was available.
Played alone. Starter got me on before a foursome which was great.
Fairways were in ok shape. Some burned out spots and bare spots I wasn't expecting. Ground overly hard in some spots too. Greens were ok.
Giving the benefit of the doubt that it's mid-October. Haven't played here in the prime golf weather in years and years so can't compare. But compared to other places I have been to in the past few weeks, Ariss was ok. Decent value when booking on GN.
Would recommend and need to play in the summer next year.
Grass?
Fairways for the most part a dirt or weeds. Greens as well are iffy to say the least. Again very patchy with poor grass coverage. Bunkers are a joke as most have sunk and sand disappearing. That being said the bunkers are full of stones. They should be just filled in. The tee boxes are a mess to say the least and bring along a hammer to get your tee in the ground. The discount GN rate made it easier to swallow but I sure would not pay full price.
