Very nice
Excellent course was in great shape would definitely play again.
Nice course
Nice course only thing that needs work are the cart paths, very rough
Hello, thank you for visiting our course and providing feedback regarding our cart paths. We hope you will visit us again soon!
Average at best
A challenging layout especially when the wind picks up. Greens are in pretty good shape and are typically very large compared to many in this area (that's a good thing!). Overall conditions aren't the best though. Many areas of ground under repair and the worst bunkers I have ever seen. Absolutely no sand, lots of rocks and weeds galore. I wouldn't expect this for the price you pay.

Fine after heavy rain the day before
Though it had rained heavy the day before, it drained well. Greens in great shape.

Lovely course
Great course to play. The weather did not cooperate and we had to leave before finishing our round. We had paid through golf now so could not get a rain check. Made the best of a bad weather day!
Hello there, thank you for visiting our course and providing great feedback. We appreciate it and hope you will visit us again when the weather is much better!
Great course
We drive from Brampton to play here for the following reasons: Course is great condition/pace of play is great/ no Marshals chasing you to play faster than is safe to do, food s great and the new facility is nice with fantastic views of the golf course from the restaurant. will definitely go again.

Fun course
3 different 9s Pines, Willows and Lakes didn't try lakes but the other two were fun!
Hello Moe, thank you for visiting. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time. Do visit us again soon!
Three good nines
My playing partner and I chose a very windy, cool day to play this course but in the end it turned out fine.
The course is in great condition and the greens well kept and fast. Not for beginners but intermediate and up will enjoy the experience.
Hello John, thank you for taking the time to visit our course and writing up a review. We certainly appreciate it! Visit us again soon.
Over booked but good.
The front 9 had us waiting almost every hole and the people behind us had us rushing. The back 9 was a bit better but still same. Overall a good course, and the staff was great.
Great Greens
Watch your approach into the greens, as they are extremely big. You need to check out the colour of the flag.
Hidden Gem
Got a great deal on GolfNow. Combined a hot deal with a promo code to get a round of 18 holes with cart for $24.00. Played on a Monday at noon as a twosome. At one point we caught up to a slower group. Shortly after that a marshall approached us and asked about the pace of play. He saqid he would speak to the group ahead of us and asked them to let us play through which they did. A marshall that actually does something - what a change from most courses.
Pro-shop staff made my day.
We had originally booked a threesome the day before. One person had to cancel the morning of our tee-time. We tried to replace our third and couldn't. Called golf now, who called the pro-shop to see if we could cancel the third with out paying. And they were fine with that 3 hours before tee-off. The course other than the greens is in excellent condition. The greens were slow and furry. Also there wasn't a refreshment cart on course. The server in the clubhouse wasn't very pleasant. Thanks again to the Pro-shop, as any day golfing is better than working.
Great Day
Golf course is only a couple minutes outside of Guelph it is in great shape defiantly will go back
Ron
This is a great course. The greens are very large. For the most part the fairways are family wide.
The staff was grate very acomating.
Would highly recommend this course.
fun course
We had played this course 3 y. ago and now were pleasantly surprised with good course condition and nice and true rolling greens, if Golfnow hot deal will become available will be back to play
A Walk in the Park

ariss golf course
It was great weather wise. From the time i stepped in the golf course everything was great. Front desk was very hospital. The course was in excellent shape. Will be back
New GO TO course for me.....
First time at this course. Fairways were the best we've seen in this area so far this summer. We golf in Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge and Guelph area. Husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the greens and the fairways.
Our only complaint was the pace of play we encountered on the back 9. We were backed up with 4 groups ahead of us. Had to wait as much as 10 minutes before teeing off at each hole.
Better than it looks from the hiway
Played the Pines and Willows nines. Much better than I expected. Challenging with a good variety of holes. 6,400 yards from blue tees, but par 70 so plays longer. Both par 5's are almost 600 yards. Nice variety of holes and good use of water. Need to be playing well here. Greens were in terrific shape, but a bit slow though that could be due to the recent heavy rains.
Had driven by the course many times, but never bothered to play as it didn't look that good (Lakes 9 is beside the hiway and easier). But I was very pleasantly surprised and will be back soon.
