The Pines is one of three nine-hole courses at Ariss Valley Golf & Country Club, which is located on the outskirts of Guelph. The Pines golf course shares a heavily forested landscape that is dotted with large ponds with the other two courses, the Willows and the Lakes. There is also a creek that winds through several holes. In addition to the water hazards coming into play, the Pines course also features several strategically placed, Ohio white sand bunkers. Each golf course at Ariss Valley Golf & Country Club is uniquely designed to offer a great variety of interesting par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s. The golf courses offer something for players of every skill level

First Time Playing

Not the best experience. At the turn we were rudely confronted by the started asking what took our group of 4 so long. I agree we didn’t 9 in 2hours 15 minutes mind you we competed the full 18 in 4 hours exactly. If the starter simply addresses us with respect instead of attempting the talk down to us it would have been a better experience. Also it took us that time to do the front nine because the group behind us were let start early aswell as almost hitting us with their drives on multiple occasions. So we waited for them and let them play through which took about 10-15 minutes of waiting. We pay good money to play all golfers should be treated with respect and not have to deal with a starter or marshal who feels they can speak to paying customers however they like

good course some sloppy greens.

good value for your money, but with that being said, some of the greens are burnt, with a few of them having large patches of burnt/unmaintained grass.

Poor operation

My game was forced to finish by the staff even before the sunset it was 7:30 pm. I have never experienced such a rude golf course for 20 years my golf life.

Not what it used to be

Terrible greens terrible fairways feels like you're playing the rough off the fairways. This course used to be beautiful. The new owners have not done a thing to it.

Poor pace & conditions

It was a Sunday round, but 5:10 was too long. Waiting at every tee was frustrating. Played Willows / Lakes. The conditions on Lakes were poor. Many issues with the greens specifically. Also, Tee boxes are very uneven and in poor shape.

Ariss has availability because of their 27 holes, otherwise it is not one of my preferred courses in the area.

Nice lay-out poor condition

I like this layout, staff were great but the course is dry and scrubby. Serious burn-out on some greens and fairways. Needs fertilizer and water. Plenty water.
