Rating Snapshot
About
Tarandowah Golfers Club has a unique layout that closely resembles traditional Scottish links golf courses. There are undulating greens and sloped fairways that are made up of bentgrass and wispy fescue. Although there are no water hazards, Tarandowah Golfers Club boasts more than 100 deep, sod-faced bunkers that prove to be just as challenging if not more. Strong winds blow through the golf course, a factor that will affect your game if not careful. Tarandowah Golfers Club has several tricky uphill par 4s, but its longest and one of its more challenging holes is the par-5 14th, which stretches to 588 yards.

A touch of Scotland
Enjoyed the day. It was windy and comfortable. Classic British open conditions. Course is fast , difficult but fair. Always a good test at Tarandowa. Keeps you thinking on every shot. Fescue was cut down which helps keep the pace a bit faster for our group. Helps to play this course a few times to pick up the odd nuances. Good company to play with just makes it better.
Worth a visit!
Challenging links style course! Met some friend there as it was halfway between our house each about an hour and a half in opposite directions. Definitely plan on going back! Staff was friendly, course was in great shape especially for October. Only complaint was the sand traps were pretty packed (and there is lots of them)....but like I said October! Had a pretty good round but had to work for it! The club house is small but the beer was cold, hot dogs were good and the staff was welcoming! Definitely recommend.
Nice links course
This is a nice links style course with fescue, deep bunkers, roiling greens and it’s open with no real trees n play so when the wind pics up, it makes it challenging
Only problem my group had was when they went to check in, the gentleman behind the counter was not very friendly at all. We did not greet us when we went inside and was not friendly to me at all when I went to get something to eat before the round
Unlike Another Other Canada Course I've Played
What a nice change of pace here from the norm. I played well so this might affect this review but I felt like if I wasn't driving the ball well it could be a tough day out here. not a very long course so you could try to knock it around with a long iron or hybrid if those work for you too.
Potato chip like greens and fairways and approach areas made for a very tough 100 yards and in type course. I didn't feel like it was too much or blind as most tee boxes or fairways were elevated so you can see what to do. Some questionable signage on the course but I made my way thru the place and the walk wasn't bad. Not too many hills or long walks between holes.
Condition was good, they didn't have a 9 hole rate different than 18 hole rate but whatever still was able to get in 9 for $20ish so it was priced accurately for time of day.
I'd come back here for sure for a change of pace of what I normally see in Canada, very tall fescue and hilly almost links style set up.
Behind 8 tee box there was adog barking constantly who I heard from 7th tee all the way to 9 fairway. I couldn't see him but bring treats for that thing to keep it quiet if that kind of stuff bothers you.
A must play !
Heard alot of good things about the course so I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised , well worth the 1 1/2 hour drive !
The pace of play
The pace of play was not impressive at all. 4 of us were paired together the other 2 had to leave the course on the 15th hole. The 2 players in our front despite the fact that they were walking refused us to play through we were riding the cart. Holes 17 and 18 were in very bad shapes.
I will play the course again if the condition improves. It is a tough and challenging course.
Lovely course but......
I love the course. So well designed. One negative unfortunately. If a person needs to take a cart it is a very rough ride. Please get the cart paths somewhere close to smooth. Currently it is by far the most negative part of the experience
Greens need work. Lots of blind shots so a yardage book would be a great option at this course. For the price an excellent deal
Awesome challenge
Great links course...designed by the guy that has redone a lot of the courses for the British Open. Challenging without being frustrating. Everything was in great shape. If it was closer to Toronto it would be 3x the price
Great links
One of my favourite courses in Southwestern Ontario. Bring your A game. You need to think your way around this track. 16, 17 & 18 can make a great round ordinary.
Excellent link's course!
I have only played courses in Scotland once but this reminds me of them! A great
Course! I will be back.
