Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Pines Course
About
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

Great Blue Heron on Willows 8th green. Photo submitted by u000006115569 on 10/02/2014
Course was not it the best o shape Cut the rough Down. A bit please.
Rough is hay and if you go off the fairway your ball is gone US open rough. . The food was good and staff service was great.
Great first round of season
Love this course. Second time playing here. Great conditions for early season. Will play again!
First 2016 round in Ontario
This was the last course we played in 2015 (Dec 24th) and also the first round this spring. Course was in great shape for the time of year. Greens well cut and rolled (quick for this time of year). I have played this course often over the years and it improves each year. Good value.
Great value
Great value have played this course many times over past several years great shape although can at times be a little wet. Staff is great make sure you have something to eat. Always great food.
We're honored by your great review! Thanks for the compliments on our course, staff, and food - we hope to see you back again in the near future!
Love this course
I can't believe the weather was as beautiful as it was yesterday. This is one of my fav courses. It's challenging but as a beginner I find this course very manageable and fun to play. I think it's a gem that a lot of people don't know about. It never seems crazy busy and the pace of play seems to be great whenever I play here.
We've been loving the unexpectedly beautiful weather as well! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our course - we're so glad you always enjoy coming by for a round. Until next time!
Ariss-10-6-15
rained early morning, overcast all day. wet conditions, playable, greens very slow to start got progressively faster by the back 9, nice course, has its unique challenges, manageable, definitely will play again.
Food was very good and presented well
Larry, thanks for all of this great feedback about your visit to our course back in October! We're happy to see you had an overall enjoyable experience, and hope to see you for another great round soon.
Great country course
Interesting course with many challenging aspects. Staff exceptional. Food very good. As per other reviews the sand bunkers are not well tended with many stones. A very pleasant round.
This course is a hidden gem otside of Guelph Ontario

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.
Hello, thank you for visiting and writing up a review. We appreciate your feedback. Do visit us again soon!
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.
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to visit our course and driving out here. We certainly appreciate it and glad to hear you enjoy it. Visit us any time!
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.
How cool that you ended and began your season with us! We're glad you're a fan of the course, so thanks for coming by. Hopefully you'll come by for another round when things are a little more manicured. We'd love to have you!
