Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Willows Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Power Carts
Nice that they are electric. Charging $20 per player is a ripoff!
Tee boxes dried out...
Played the course before, but this time the tee boxes were so hard and poorly kept that it was difficult to even get a tee in the ground...irrigation would help, but also they are lumpy and not level...the rest of the course was in good shape.
Worth the Drive
Ariss is located on the outskirts of Guelph but with three nice 9s, it’s worth the drive.
Usually one of the nines isn’t too busy. If you play the Pines, you finish on a spectacular pro hole but each track has a couple of really nice holes.
Greens are active!!
Really nice layout with some adventurous greens for some fun putts!!
Course a bit burnt by the hot weather
There were a few greens that have serious heat damage due to the hot weather we had over the past three weeks. Teed off around noon on Monday and pace was excellent. There were no other golfers on the course on my back nine
I reserved online for a 9:09 tee off but when I got there they did not have my reservation noted. They did let us play though so that is good, just a heads up that something went wrong in the on line registry.
The only problem with playing was that there was 2 of us and we had a foursome in front of us and a threesome behind. Being a casual golfer it did not matter but some "better" players may not appreciate it.
Great time!
My son and I only play about twice a year and for the last couple of years, we’ve played Ariss and had a great time. Staff is excellent and course is well laid out.
Always a Fun Round
Always enjoy playing here. Would prefer a deal, but $70 a player not unheard of with Covid on a Sunday morning. Some burnt spots on the fairways and greens but considering no rain for so long, it is in very good condition. Greens are large and rolling...no easy putts. Carts are quiet and electric. Most of the time we end up on Willows and Pines, but today we got to play Lakes...very challenging with all the water in strategic spots. They didn't slip anyone in between our nines so we got done in under 4 hours! Great time!
Meh
It’s a nicely laid out course with nice views. The greens were awful and the fairways we’re not very well taken care of. It’s a little expensive for the condition of the course.
Dried out !
Course was very dried out in a lot of places. Greens were good but fairways very dry and hard. $40 cart fees way too much for this course. The new Covid fee's a guess ?
Enjoyable
Played on a hot day in July during COVID times. Staff were very friendly. Price at $60 for a weekday (with power cart) is high for this country course. Greens are HUGE so pay attention to where the flag is placed or you’ll 3 putt all day long. Greens were in OK shape considering the very dry conditions. Rough is outrageous, but it is everywhere during COVID times. T boxes and fairways just OK. Good variety of holes across three sets of 9. Many fairways wide and forgiving. Course is walkable but get a power cart on hot days. Worth checking out!
