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.

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.
Nice course
Some soggy patches and long second cut but had a good round all the same.
Nice course
Enjoyed the course as a newbie golfer. Was not pushed to move faster. Easy to trasition from hole to hole. Friendly outgoing service from staff. I'd go again
Great Value
Good layout. Greens are massive and challenging. The scenery is beautiful!
Perfect for beginners
I liked the layout and the the wide fairways. Just wide enough where you can make a mistake on the drives. The greens are massive and in decent shape. The scenery is beautiful. Will definitely come back . Great Value for your money.
Going Down
The course has potential...not good conditions...fairways were almost not discernable from rough in some areas. Rough was rediculous...obvious it wasnt being set up for a US open either...just not maintained. Greens were in fair shape, but still beaten up. TEE decks...well...your first shot in golf should be on a decent lie...uneven and beat up. 50 bucks with 5 dollars off on a hot deal...not even worth that at all.
Course is in great shape
We were a twosome, and it took just over 4 hours to play. It wasn’t us, or the two guys in front of us, or the two in front of them, by the two in front of them that were so slow. Got to the back nine and things picked up, until we ran up to a group of four walkers. Other than the pace of play, things were great.
Nice course and great staff.
Willows and pines
Course worth playing with nice girl working there. Played willows and pines. I liked the former better. To walk is good workout. With cart is much easier. I will practice and come back to beat you.
Enjoyable Day at Ariss Valley
It has been a dry summer and fairways were more than a little dry. Greens, however, were in very good shape and overall we had a very enjoyable day. The course had an interesting layout, with very large greens. Pace of play was very good. I would recommend course to anyone who wants a good value.
Good conditions, great value and pace of play
Played Ariss twice last week with family. Conditions were pretty good, considering we have had no rain recently. No one in front of us on the course, so we could play at whatever pace we wanted. Staff were great, friendly and very helpful.
Always a challenge
Love the course. Could use a little more TLC. Greens are fair but tough. Every hole is different. All levels would like this course. Pace on a weekend was excellent. Good to see marshals out keeping it rolling.
Price Reduction
Our foursome arrived to a near empty parking lot., Why? Because their regular rate is too high. Even with a Hot Deal we paid $50. This is a $40 w/cart max. course. Even with all the rain we’ve had the fairways were burnt. Though last time I was here, 20 years ago, it was in pretty rugged condition.
Wonderful day in the golf course
Even with the wind and spotty showers, we enjoyed our day in this beautiful course. Fairways were in great condition and greens were fun to putt on. Overall, we had a great day and will go back again.
