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.

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.

Beautiful Golf Day

Hello, I called your Pro Shop at 10:00 AM and asked If it was possible to play nine holes alone.

The young man told me to come out and play at 10:50AM.

I had the most wonderful two hours playing golf.

I love playing Ariss Valley and thank you!!!

Greens are in terrible condition

Greens are all ripped up, Brown, and looks like an earthquake hit the course. Charge you $20 per person to use a golf cart which is ridiculous. Definitely will not be returning to this course.

Great value for the money

Played Pines - Lakes combo, nice and scenic 18. Only complaint was some of the greens were a little burnt and the pin placement for the day was a little peculiar.

I played your beautiful course with my son in law.

We both walked and enjoyed every minute.

I’m coming back tomorrow with a friend to play another 18 holes.

Staff was awesome and friendly.

Thank you
