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.

Good Value

Purchased the 2 for 1 deal last winter. At that price it is good value. The location is good for my situation.

The course layout is fine. My major complaint is the tee boxes.

They need some maintenance.

Hidden Gem

Fantastic views off the tees, very well kept throughout the entire course! Tee to green was in fantastic shape! Challenging for the yardage, but fair enough to enjoy! Will definitely play again!

Arris’s Valley

A lot of blind tee shots and approach shots into very oversized greens that have a lot of undulating features.

This course appears to have been built as a members course and it requires a lot of local knowledge in order to play it well. You will lose alot of balls because you are hitting off a tee not knowing what hazards or bunkers are just off the fairway. You need to keep the tee shot in the fairway and understand where to put your ball on the green. They could save a lot of money in maintenance if they reduced a lot of the greens by 60%. Public players want courses that are fun to play and have no hidden tricks or slopes. As far as the current course conditions you can tell that they are struggling to make ends meet.

Make the course more fun to play and more golfers will pay green fees, buy food and drinks. More information needs to be posted on the tee about how the hole is to be played successfully.
