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.

Cart
When booked it clearly indicated with
Cart.
Upon arrival at course they said the booking did not include cart.
After being persistent ,due to good relationship with staff they agreed to comp cart for us.
I would not have booked at that price if it did not include cart.
Great
Wonderful day albeit cool 7 degrees but no wind.
Greens were in great condition.
May have to return before end of season time permitting !!
Mr.
Very nice golf course with the golf fee. I'd like to recommend the course to the people.
Nice layout but ground is really dry
Had a great day, but I’ve never seen tee boxes where the ground is so hard you can snap a tee trying to insert it into the ground.
Terrible course
Pace was extremely slow, staff were not friendly, pin locations were brutal
Step up the greens
I generally like this course throughout the year but they’ve really got to do something about the greens during this fall season. They’re incredibly inconsistent, cut too long, and trimmings left right on the putting surface. I’ll play again eventually but between the tee boxes and greens I’m done for this year.
Greens need some tlc
Enjoyed the challenge
Great layout
Pace of play was a struggle waiting at almost every tee box for up to 10 minutes.
Would play again
Decent value
Overall the course was decent value for the money. Greens grass was longer than normal, causing greens to be very slow. Dead spots
On greens on a few holes. Tee boxes and some fairways need to be repaired but can be expected this late in the season.

Great time
Course was wide open and the greens were well kept and green
Good Round
Enjoyed my round. Greens in good shape. Fairways need some rain.
Dry hard as a rock dirty bouncy greens
Arrived at 1040am, marshalls circling us hole after hole. they were moving the green holes at 11am. Greens were bouncy and not cleaned off, chunks of grass everywhere. Tboxes unkept, no divot sand tons if divots no grass, ground was hard as a rock, very dissapointing to see such a scenic course in the shape it was in given all the water hazards and plenty of water sources. Appears someone lost the key for the sprinkle system.
Rating Course
This course is an excellent layout. However, the fairways were badly damaged. Appeared to be lack of watering. There was plenty of rain this summer so this was unusual. Sand traps were very hard no grooming. Greens were good with some damaged areas but very nice. All in all the course is very challenging to play and with a little TLC it could be a GREAT Course.
Grass was all burnt, fairways greens tee boxes. I’m not sure how that’s possible with all the rain we had this year. Bring a hammer so you can get your tee into the ground
Great course!
Enjoyed the very friendly greeting by the starter and checkin attendant. Very picturesque course with a great mix of styles and difficulty. Will definitely be back!
