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.

GolfNow taking $$ with late tee times

My 'Hot Deal' was more than it would have cost me for 9 holes at the course, since that is all we were able to play given the lateness of the day. 18 holes is impossible at 2:54, especially when the course was so overbooked. The pro shop told me GolfNow was even selling 4:00pm tee times which is just not ok.

Tee blocks were a disaster, but given that it's November can understood, but not to that degree. Really nice building/club house, facilities, its a shame the owners don't take more care of the course.

Great course & great staff

Challenging course

Beautiful grounds

Nice staff

Play was slow as it was so busy - could only get 9 holes in before sunset but paid for 18, but we were happy that we got a rain check for 9 holes at another date within the year.

Terrible

Absolutely pathetic! Customer is always right, and you try to please the customer with what they want. Aftwr already being behind schedule due to lack of knowledge they over booked. Over 20 people were waiting and there was not a cart available. Then they tried to pair us up with two guys who had a cart, which we respectfully said no because that’ll only slow them down and that’s not fair. However the Marshall did not give us the time of day to explain that, instead he was focused on forcing us to play when we specifically booked for 2. I’m not trying to gold with random people especially through a pandemic. Jesus, just so rude I will never be coming back!

Ariss Valley golf course a must to try

A pretty challenging golf course with pristine fairways and 27 greens. (Lakes, Willow, and Pine)

The staff is top-notch and the restaurant a must to try. Guelph is surrounded by golf courses and this one is one that I play the most. To get your spot you must book a week in advance.

Strongly recommend this golf course to anyone who likes to enjoy the beautiful scenery and challenge the game.

Birthday round at Ariss

The inside staff were friendly and helpful the outside staff need work

The course is in not that great of shape when it comes to the grass including the greens

There advertising fall rates but at $64 with a cart I think it’s over priced by $20 at least

The value per $ is just not there
