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.

Rain out, but great condition

Although the rain halted our round of 18, the first 8 (Willows) were exactly as I had hoped: course in great condition (some frost damage on some greens), but fairways were dry and well maintained. Long rough is spots, but that’s golf!

Got a rain cheque without problems when horn sounded even though power went out.

Great experience given the circumstances. And always great value only a few minutes outside of Guelph.

a very good average course

Wasn't busy so the starter selected which of the 3 nines to use, the greens were good , the traps ok but not great, and they were in the process of cutting the fairways that had grown long with the rain last week . Clubhouse is undergoing some nice renovations which should take a few more weeks to complete . Overall a very nice average course to play .

Water everywhere

Today my wife, son and I played the pines and willows course at Ariss Valley. With no one in front and no one behind to keep pace with, we explored shot making and approaches. Greens were faster than usual for this early in the year, and they ran true, fairways are drying out and no plugging this round, getting some good roll.

The sun was shining and decent shots were rewarded so you can't ask for better.

Bring your own TP

You can get pretty far away from a bathroom on this course, and when you eventually come across that holy grail of an outhouse....the toilet paper is gone, and people have literally used the hand towels to wipe themselves. Good thing I didn't pay full price.
