Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 7067 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.5

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.

Disappointed

We chose to rent carts for this round. The cart provided was old unreliable and in need of replacement. The charge for the cart was excessive. For this reason I would have to say the overall fees charged are not in line with the course quality or amenities provided.

I likely will not return or recommend the course to others.

Gratuity

This course is the best. It's everything you could ask for in a link style course. Slick greens fast Fairways dry conditions are wet. Breezy or not. This course is always a challenge and some days you can get out after it and other days it's going to have your number no matter what. I love this course it's fantastic I give the course four stars. However recently while playing 18 holes I went to purchase a beer a bag of chips and a candy bar while making the turn. I was informed that an automatic gratuity of 18% was now being applied to all food bills regardless of what they were. I was charged an extra $3 gratuity for the person to reach into the fridge and pass me a beer only because I couldn't get it myself. This I feel crosses a line. Get out of my pocket. I'm so tired of everybody in this world thinking they deserve a tip for doing their job and now the course is taking it over. I'm sorry you've lost my business over a three dollar tip. Never mind that the average golf course now reaches $100 just to play 18 holes, they now want to reach into your pocket and grab a little more. I would have come back and played this course on a cost of maybe $400 over the next four rounds but I just refuse to do that now as I won't be paying an automatic gratuity on anything I might purchase at the snack bar.

Canadian Links

Having grown up on links courses in the UK this was a decent replica, obviously lacking wind from the coast but greens bunkers were great condition. Course overall was very good, can understand why it's rated so highly. After 8 holes of good pace we obviously caught up with people and the last 10 holes went at a pace of play over 5 hours. Links golf is not for beginners in the UK and it's no different here, highly recommend only seasoned golfers with an average 18 handicap or less play. This would likely improve the pace of play but unfortunately slow play in Ontario is a plague no matter what course.

Fun but challenging.

Fun course design. Makes you have to plan your shots, you can’t just go around hitting your longest club straight. Course is kept in good conditions but other than that it’s not great. Small clubhouse, small driving range, terrible carts with terrible cart paths. The quality of golf is good but o expect everything else up to the same standard for the price.
