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.

Very challenging, and scenic course.

Played on a Sunday afternoon, 4.5 hour round, as a foursome. Got a good rate booking through GolfNow. Course was in great shape, although the greens were much slower than I would have expected. It's a difficult golf course with some woods, marsh, and a river coming into play on many holes. Beautiful layout, a must play.

You want to be on your game here. Definitely not for a novice golfer.

Staff extremely rude/6 hour round

Not only was it a six hour round, they sent a group booked 40 minutes after me off the tee before my group.

My entire group arrived 90 minutes early and was actually sent off the block later than our booked time.

At the turn; there was a three group hold up at the tee.

The course is rated hardest in Canada; at the least, make the day enjoyable as we subject ourselves to the toughness of the course.

I confronted the Marshall at the first tee and he was the rudest person I've ever met. He was arrogant and unfriendly.

Greens were hairy and tee blocks were not cut in a few days. We needed extra long tees and putting was not like we practiced on the practice green.

I will not recommend this course to people I know.

Course is gimmicky, especially without a guide

I usually only play the Legends, a true hitters course. The Masters is a gimmicky course, with a lot of blind shots, extreme dog legs and hidden hazards. You could hit great shots, only to be on the wrong side of the green or rolling into an unmarked hazard. The course uses some crazy forced short shots off the tee, to keep you from trying to go for a more rewarding shot. They should either have gps in the carts, or complimentary green guides at the very least.

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.
