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.

A Beautiful Fall Day

It was a beautiful Fall day for golf. We tee'd off early and finished the round in 3.5 hours. We played Willows and Lakes which, in my opinion, are the two best nines to play. These nines have a few forced carry's from the Blue tees that are a bit long for moderate drivers of the ball. Both I and my partner hit reasonably good tee shots that fell a bit short and went into the hazard. We probably should have played the White tees but the overall length for the only about 6,000 yards and we typically play around 6200 yards on most other course. This is not the course fault. Just two overly optimistic golfer who picked wrong. I would still recommend this course to others.

Nice Course

This course is excellent except the Sand Traps do need some work. There was grass growing in some. Water in others so could be drainage. Very firm bunkers not very well kept. However, The fairways, rough and greens were pristene.

Surprising Good

I heard some bad reviews about this course. They were wrong. The course is in great shape. The greens were weren’t as fast as I like it, but smooth and lush.

The only negative are the bunkers. Like many courses, that’s seems to be an issue. Just don’t hit your ball in them and you’ll be fine 🤣

Keep up the good work, and we’ll be back !!
