Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Legends
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Too slow!!!!!
The people who work there are friendly. Have been playing this course since inception. Great facility but pace of play is awful !!!! Over 5 and a half to play.
This is the problem with golf. Too long to play. I belong to a private club iand the average time to play is under four hours
Terrible pace of play, no marshals starting people on 10th tees and 1st out of sync to try and milk profits and then causing a jam
6+ hours round of golf and starting people on both sets of tees 1st and 10th with no marshals on course. Starter sits at clubhouse far away from tees. Starter looked as if he was still in high school. Has no clue. Then after playing back nine and returning to 1st teebox there was around 10-12 carts all stacked up waiting, no marshal there and everyone annoyed as all folks were blocked for 45 mins. Absolutely ridiculous, since the renovation of this clubhouse and it's catering and pro shop there seems to be a complete Mis-management of personnel. Even after golf when you sit on the patio you end up sitting there waiting for ages for one of the servers to come out of the indoor bar area to serve you. Terrible management of resources. Such a shame as it's a reasonable looking place. To Mr Kaneff: Get a new manager of catering and Head of Golf. Don't hire teeneagers just out of diapers as starters, they're clueless. Hire wait staff that actually care more about customers needs than their appearance.
Great course, good value
Challenging course narrow greens good conditions except some bunkers could use more sand
Very friendly Marshall good tips
Enjoyable round
I played Legends - Greens were very true, staff were very friendly helpful. The changing facilities are very nice. The course is challenging - you play according to your level and playing smart keeps your score down. I would play this course again.
Not so good experience
Pace of play horrendous. No Marshall out there. guys hitting multiple balls not playin ready golf good $ value for the course. Greens in poor condition.
Wont go back
Fantastic
Top quality course. Very challenging but enjoyable.
Really good course, but one negative employee
I had a really great time playing the LionHead Legends course. It was a hard course for me as I am no pro. I go out and enjoy the game.
I just have one negative about the course. There is one employee there just real negative person. But the other employee took very good care of me before the situation got out of hand.
You can't live in a perfect world, so you move on. Thanks Lion Head Golf Course.
Signage, bunkers, marshals
Course layout is great. Greens roll true but a bit slow. There are challenging and tight par 5s and 4s with forced layups - no drivers or woods off the tees. Good placement of bunkers .... But the bunkers are horrible!
For a premier kaneff course, the bunkers are not "up to par" for even the discounted $80-$90 fee, never mind the $150+. They are not raked daily so you have hard pan sand lies from wet sand that's dried. It definitely takes away from the beauty and play of the course.
What was very strange was the lack of proper signage to direct players around. What was also very strange was the lack of course marshals. We did not see one patrolling for our entire round. The cart girls were extremely frequent, but no marshal was seen to help with pace of play or player help/information.
Good course, but it's not a premier course of Toronto and definitely not worth anything over $90. If you pay over $100, you will be extremely disappointed.
Great value
Course was in great shape.. Practice range.. putting excellent.
Lot of promotions and friendly staff
Excellent Value
The Legends course is beautifully designed and very well maintained. It's challenging yet still playable. We golfed very early and had the course to ourselves pretty much. Greens roll nicely and are in good shape. Bunkers were a bit hard due to the rain. Playing this course for under $100 is the best value around. I already booked my next round!
Nice Course
Course was great. Just needed to maintain the bunkers. They were in awful condition. They were hard, not well raked and sand was falling from the lips into the middle.
Course signage
Course has horrible signage for navigation. Unclear where to go on cart paths and it's very easy to get mixed up.
Simple signs to hole #1 on legends, clear signs to separate masters and legends starting hole, clear sign to get back to clubhouse from legends were all missing.
Great test of golf, fantastic food
You should try this course lots of fun fast greens. Best special burgers at Iggies too
Great First Experience
You could not have asked for a better day. It was my first time playing the legends course and I can tell you I was not disappointed. The conditions of the course were excellent and the weather as well. We were supposed to be paired up with another twosome but they were late so there was just two of us and we played the round in four hours. The greens are fast and true so if you hit the right line and speed the put was going to go in. The only complaint I had was there were no ball washers on the course. Then my playing partner showed me the ball washer on the golf cart! Overall it was a great day and I'm looking forward to going back and playing the course again. You will not be disappointed with the course, a must play!
great course
Good Challenge. Nice place to play. Greens are a bit inconsistent as mentioned in previous review but overall great conditions. Chexk.in was a bit slower as usual. Five people behind the counter no one waiting but had to wait 15 min to get one to look up our group so I could pay. Bar staff really friendly, had a sandwich here before the round, great food. Overall 5 stars.
Enjoyable Day
Legends is always fun to play. The last two outings i played from the blues and whites with a 7 shot differential. I am a 16 to 17 handicap. So pick your tees wisely. Course is in good condition although the greens were not as fast as they have been. Maybe because it was Sunday. Staff are friendly and helpful. 5 hour round due to some slow foursome in front of us.
great overall experience
Stands up to the hype. A favorite of many friends and I see why. Great layout,many different style holes and different difficulty level with well placed bunkers make it a challenge yet you enjoy the layout and overall beauty of course .
Legend of a Day
Arrived at the course as a single and was paired up with a two-some. I am a female and sometimes men don't take to kindly to lady golfers joining them - particularly at top notch courses like Lionhead Legends. My playing partners were really friendly and complimentary with my straight drives and birdie putts ;)
The course was in GREAT shape and the pace of play was really good. We never waited on any of the tees.
The back nine was definitely more challenging. We started on #10 so I was a bit concerned that the whole course was going to be full of hidden challenges!
Purchased my round through GolfNow so the price was good value for money.
Be prepared to maybe loose a few balls
Good time playing this track the condition of the course is very good
