Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Pines Course

Green fees too high for course quality. You can do a lot better.

From a bogey golfer's point of view the rough is thick for average player. Fairways are a must. Greens still have winter damage - ball hops.
Full rates are a bit high for the course conditions.

Good value for the money - some greens had a hard winter. Nice having the 3 - 9's. 4 hour round including a beer on he patio after. Nice clubhouse and staff was friendly. I will be back soon.

course was very wet, looking forward to play again dryer condition.

Enjoyable course. Many interesting holes. However course was very wet. Greens need some work. Will definitely return in drier conditions.

Wonderful course outside of Guelph great value for the money.

Great course to play along with little children.

the weather at Ariss Valley started off with drizzle, but after the second hole it cleared up nicely to our expectations.A little soggy in spots but that is to be expected at this time of year....overall a great early season golf day. Also, because of the threat of rain, there were only a few players on the course, and it was like we owned the track for the day

This course has 3 nines - I played the Pines & Willows. This is a really nice course on a beautiful piece of land - rolling hills and LOTS of water, which is in play on many of the holes - including 3 greens that are surrounded by water. The greens were fast and challenging but not in the best of shape with lots of brown patches. Sand traps were nice. Want to go back in mid season and play the Lakes course as well

Course is still growing after a harsh winter with much ice but the greens were fast and true nevertheless. The pro shop staff are very accommadating and receptive. I expect the course to be in excellent shape within the month. I'll certainly be back.

Too early in the season, I really wish they weren't open. I drove a distance to check it out and paid 57$ for a "discounted round" with a cart. Fortunately they were kind enough to give me a voucher for half the value, not that I am eager to go back anytime soon.

I really can't throw stones at a course that allows me to golf in mid-November. I'd have to play it in the regular season to give a fair review.

The course was almost empty, what a shame.

Beutiful day

Fun hidden gem. The course is in good shape and is fun to play. Easy walk. There are a couple of soggy holes on the lakes nine which can cause your ball to plug otherwise I would recommend getting out here and having a fun day with friends.

I want to play golf again in Ariss valley CC.
Because out of 9 hole(Pine course) we can't course at all.
In of 9 hole(willows course) is good.
Next time I had better take power cart.

The course has, in part, the feel of a links course, with exposure to the wind as well as tall, fescue like grasses protecting the fairways and greens. We were able to tee off on time or somewhat before and finished our round in almost exactly 4 hours, despite some slower players ahead of us. There were no visible marshals on the course and on occasion a groundskeeper continued to mow in front of the tee boxes despite the fact that we were about to tee off. Aside from that, all of the other staff we experienced - drinks cart driver, club shop salesperson, wait staff/bartender - were exceptionally helpful and friendly, in an informal yet professional manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our outing and were frankly surprised that there were not more people at the course.

Interesting layouts throughout all three nines as well as challenging greens.

Played the Pines and the Lakes.
Love the look of the corse and it was in good shape.

Would deffinetly recomend a cart as there is a lot of up and down hills.

Played the Lakes considering the recent amount of rain it was fine except when you hit a ball in the rough it was very difficult to find it. Grass seems to be very long and balls sink into the grass due to use of rotary rough mowers instead of reel style. Lots of blind tee shots and hazards that you can't see from tee. The Pines was are second nine and was a much more enjoyable nine due to better drainage and more playable layout. The course is a great overall design with lots of potential, however it is noticeable that the maintenance budget has been reduced due to recent negative change in the economy. Previous owners must of had big dreams which never became a reality.

This was my first time playing Ariss Valley so I didn't know what to expect. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The course was not fancy but well kept and exceptional value for the money ($35 on Golfnow). The good value continued to the beverage cart where a cold beer was a very reasonable $4.75. I would definitely play this course again.

A very fast paced 18 holes.
Finished in 3 hrs and 20 min.
The greens are groomed immaculately.
