The Legends Course at Lionhead Golf & Country Club has been ranked before as one of the toughest golf courses in North America and the club boasts that it is the toughest in Canada. Lionhead Golf & Country Club also offers another, less demanding 18-hole course that is equally entertaining, the Masters. Legends features numerous challenges including vast lakes, cavernous sand bunkers, and tall fescue. The layout winds through a rugged portion of the Credit River Valley with steeply rolling terrain and wooded ravines, providing the golf course with elevated, undulating greens. The eighth is a notable hole, both for its beautiful scenery and its difficulty level. It is a long par 3 over a pond filled with tall bulrushes.

Still the one.

First time at Legends this year. Last year I experienced a 5 hour plus round which I don't particularly like. We played as four in four hours 15 min. Course was in great shape for fall. Greens were fast and nice except for a few ball marks. Great views with the leaves changing colours. extremely challenging, Overall great experience. Will definitely return.

Course was great, very challenging

Experience getting green fee on line was not an issue when I presented my internet e-mail confirmation at the pro shop. no questions asked and paid the discounted price I was given on-line.

I knew the course would be a challenge and it kicked my butt

For the price, it should include GPS.

I enjoyed the day with my father but was thoroughly disappointed that there were no water stations at all on the course. This to me is just a way of generating sales on bottled water and other beverages. I already spent 80 dollars on a round and food at the turn. The course needs to rethink there strategy and provide water throughout the round, they'll find that the outlay cost will not affect the bottom line and there cart sales will not take a hit. The course offers senior rates but doesn't consider the fact that they are on a budget and may not buy a water and subsequently do harm to themselves! All courses should adopt a water station rule, it will keep all patrons hydrated and willing to buy a beer or two in the process!

Fantastic course.a fair challenge

Definitely a challenging course. Beautiful architecture. Water. Woods. Fescue in all sorts of places, getting a birdie here feels like a real accomplishment, par fours are tough. Greens are perfect. Some quite small. Hard to hold if coming in with a mid iron.

Absolutely loved it and defined going back,

Clubhouse is beautiful but beer selection was poor. Only four taps and no craft beers, food was okay but surroundings and menu suggested higher quality,

Legends Course

The first impression of the club house was very nice, clean and modern pro shop. The shuttle to the clubhouse from the parking lot is a nice touch.
- the course was challenging, but it was great! Enjoyed this course. Only recommendation would be to have more than one beer cart, and to include snacks and sandwiches.

If you've got all day

The round was 5+ hours - terrible for a Sunday tee time of 8:24.
The Marshall was great but did nothing to move play along - Members had the first tee times and obviously took advantage of the fact.
This is a tough course so I understand some delay but 5 hours is a bit much.

Needs better maintaining

Course was in pretty rough shape, expected more for the price. I guess it's all about how many rounds they can push through.

Good overall experience

Great time but expensive too. After paying $100 a person it still $10 a bucket for the range. Course is in above average condition and pace of play wasn't terrible.

Back again

I returned to the "LEGENDS "course yesterday after a two year hiatus. Booked my time thru a discount service and received a great welcome in the pro shop.
The staff is super friendly from the greeter when you drop off your bag to the proshop to the bar/restaurant staff.
The course is challenging, I found a lot of ball marks on the greens . I found no issue with the sand in the bunkers and boy did I find a lot yesterday. Though we played ready golf it took us 4 1/2 hrs.
The key to this course is to pick the tees that are right for your ability

course not n very good shape

Have played at this course before and enjoyed it, but this time I found the course in a very poor condition.

Greens were not well maintained and there was sand and grass over several of the greens, as if they had not been swept or cleaned.

Several of the holes had the markers in the wrong places. The blues were ahead of the whites. and the maintenance and noise were not conducive to play.

After My round when I complained about the conditions at the pro shop I was told that this was the first time that someone had complained, but there was no apology and not even an explanation that maybe the staff were doing some maintenance work on the course.

Overall the experience was not great and will not go back. For the same price there are other courses offering a better value.

Slow Play

Twenty five minutes late teeing off. Very slow group in front of us that were at least a hole behind the group in front of them. Managed to eventually play through but caught up again. Seemed like the course was over booked. Marshals didn't seem too concerned at the slow play.
Would never pay full price to play the course. Course is in good shape and very challenging. Staff at clubhouse were very good.

Lionhead Legends

In my opinion not worth the regular price rates. Not because of faculty, facility or conditions but rather the course design. There are some great holes but then there are holes that look like an afterthought (par 3 13th), or that provide no poroper visuals to the green. All in all it is a well maintained course that has a good feel that I enjoy playing.

Lion Head's facility is Top Shelf

Played the Legends course... Great day on a superior golf course and faculty. They have packaged the experience of golf in a new way., Great staff, super course and great restaurant in Ziggy's .

A must course and food to try!
