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.

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.
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.
Golf Day
Thank you again for a wonderful morning.
I love your course!!!
