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.

Great day
Played at Ariss today and it is my second time playing there. .Pace of play was great, staff was super friendly and would definitely play here again. Beautiful scenery, , nice hole layout and challenging course . Great value !
Course is in good shape
The course was in good shape, some standing water in some areas, particularly on the lakes course, but It wasn’t a problem. Staff asked us to avoid driving in the wet areas.
Otherwise, the greens and fairways were excellent.
Staff was excellent- distancing is in effect and they are well prepared to deal with the COVID practices.
Overall, a good day at a good course.
Rough shape
Greens were fine but the rest of the course needs a whole lot of maintenance. We will not play it again until they cut back the fescue, cut the rough and manicure the fairways.
Our experience
Overall a good course to play! The course has Plenty of holes (3 sets of 9) to play and a good mix of difficulty. Grass was long making fairway shots feel like I was in the rough, and the rough feel like I was weed whacking. Pace of play was good for our group and the staff was accommodating and clear on rules given the current Covid situation. We weren’t given a choice on which set of holes we wanted to play however (they instructed us to play specific ones may be due to Covid?).
Round at Ariss Valley
Well I’ve been driving past this course almost my whole life and never played. Today I finally got the chance to play as it looked so amazing driving by it every time. Paid 75$ including cart so I expected to be a great course and be a good enjoyable round. Very disappointed with the way the course was maintained which really got to me during my round. You can make good shots off the tee and up deep in thick rough or even on the fairway which none of them looked like they haven’t been cut in weeks or months. Really would appreciate the course to give me the heads up how the course is currently maintained as I probably wouldn’t have wasted that much money on terrible conditions.
Beautiful Course
Booked this course through Golfnow app. Unfortunately when we got there they didn't have a reservation for us. But the staff managed to squeeze us in anyway. Was a beautiful course and a great layout
Good course
Course looks good, fairways could use shorter cut. Was too long.
Greens are in good conditions but very slow.
Overall it’s a nice course, challenging but maintenance of fairways was disappointing.
WOW
-AMAZING 3 - 9S
-GREAT VARIETY
-WELL MANICURED
-EVERY HOLE IS DIFFERENT
-CHALLENGING, LOTS OF FUN!
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COURSES
Not ready for opening
I have had many people tell me that this course is great, so went to try it yesterday. I completely understand the current situation in regards to facilities, but the condition of the course was terrible. Fairways had dandelions as tall as my knee and pace of play was slow with new players. (This I also understand in the current world). However, the staff was wonderful and very friendly. Will go back to hive it another try but will drive by first to see the course condition.
It's ok
Course was in great condition for this time of the year. Overall, the course isn't difficult. Very open and huge greens.
With that being said, it's worth the money.
Quick round, great quality
Perfect conditions, greens are huge but well kept.
Fun challenging layouts
Played as a twosome in a little over 3 hours with a $38 hot deal. Extremely windy October Saturday making this a pretty challenging course. Interesting layouts with a with a few blind tee shots. Greens in amazing shape too for this time of year and pretty quick. Need to play this 27 hole course more often. Friendly staff and ok amenities.
Great Time
Been here quite a few times before the fairways are nice and firm not wet and soft like it used to be after the rain all in all it was great deal for under $40 and the pace if play was really fast.friendly staffs and nice place to.hangout in the morning round before work.
Greens are MISERABLE
Golfed here 10 years ago. Played again on Saturday, September 21 2019 and realized why it's been 10 years since I have. Hate the course, greens are horrible...it's one of the only courses I played where you lose you ball in the actual fairways!!!! Dont waste your money.....
Super Greens !!!!
I would say that these are some of the biggest and nicest greens in the area. Soft, smooth and put perfect. The rest of the course is in great shape too. Nice enjoyable round.
