Nice Day at Ariss
The pace of play was a little slow , for some reason Marshall asked us to play faster even though we were two groups deep on each tee box. Course is in good shape; greens are really a challenge lots of undulations. It’s not a long course but it is challenging!!
Not going back
There are too many courses near Guelph better than Ariss for me to go back there again.
Paid for cart $60 in total. Was told they wanted to divide the cart and double up players. Said there would be no reduction in cart rental, riding double would still cost each person $60 !! Most greens on Willows course were terrible. Large sections of totally dead turf. From start to finish got switched 3 times for our second 9, disorganized. Not going back.
great round
Group teed off at 12:45, so heat of the day, a single ahead who we never saw after the first hole,
Great to play at our own pace with nobody ahead or behind us. Some tee blocks were a little rough but fairways and greens were excellent. This was our 3rd time playing here this year , always enjoy it.
Slipped a bit but still fun
Have written a review before. Still one of my favourite “country” courses. Good COVID precautions, but noticed the greens conditioning has slipped compared to previous years. Could have been the hot dry summer, but more bald patches and ball marks. Poorer conditions around the cups. Bunkers were excellent however. Tee boxes and fairways were average at best. Still fun to play and recommended.
Fun day
Always very friendly staff. Never a problem getting a tee time with 27 holes. Covid protocols are excellent. Always enjoy playing at Ariss
Go somewhere else!
The golf course was very understaffed in the morning when we checked in. We were told the first 9, and than mentioned we will be going right after to the next 9 so we can use an app that tracks stats of our play (we are not able to make changes of the game half way through). The second marshal stopped us very rudely and didn't want to listen to anything that we were told prior and/or match us with another 2 some, and forced us to change our back 9 to one of the worst 9 you will ever play (The Lakes!). You were not able to see the fairway as it was completely forgotten to be cut! Greens was dried, cracked, and not maintained. Take the $70 you were to spend on this very pour managed golf course and select any other course in this region and you will not regret it!
Pace of play
The Marshall’s need to watch pace of play rather than check carts for alcohol. Front nine was played in 2:20 and once we passed the foursome ahead of us the back nine was 1:40. Our 7:40 tee off should not have taken that long. However, very nice course
i used to love this course but now fairways grass is too long the greens no one repairs ball marks and rally spongy can see the soft spike marks from shoes all over the green especially around the cup with flag in. really not impressed .
Golf
Always enjoy coming to Ariss staff laid back and friendly. Golf course always in shape.
