Rating 77.5

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.

Poor service

Going through a Reno in the clubhouse, and there's no service for anything, a sign that says service on the patio, with no one out there. Bar is under Reno and there's staff around but no one speaks to golfers or can direct them anywhere for service. Nike is paying for their Reno as that's all the equipment they sell now, and everything in your choice of 3 colours, black, white, or neon yellow. Poor choice Kaneff.

Excellent deal!

Friends and I found this amazing deal that was well worth it. We played the Legends 18 and enjoyed every hole. It was still early in the season and can't wait to see how the course shapes up in a couple weeks. Can't wait to try the Masters 18!

Disappointed in greens

This is probably one of my favorite and difficult course that I like playing. Having played here about 20 times in past few years, I am accustomed to the course always being well groomed, and the greens well, quite fast and almost immaculate. Unfortunately, this was the first time that I was disappointed. The greens were quite sandy; likely due to being on the tail end of being aerated.

I suggest calling the course prior to making a reservation, to inquire about condition of green/course, as there was no warning when booking my time slot.

Greens conditions under aerification are not ideal

Beautiful good course but the greens are under aerification and not ideal for putting. Fairway conditions are almost perfect.

Pace Of Play Failure!!

Mostly a great venue for the price.
Conditions were OK. Legends greens had a bit of winterkill.
Very dry. Good fairway roll.
Staff was good.
Hot dog was great!
Pace was 5-1/4 hours. Just brutal. Supposed to tee off at 11:06 AM; got started jus before noon.
Too many golfers on a tough golf course.

Great course conditions early in the season

First time playing the course. . Pace of play was slow, but it was still quite enjoyable. Was visiting from Edmonton and booked a tee time for myself and my cousin on GolfNow at a decent rate. Would play it again.

Good round.

the course has only been open for a week or so and was in good condition. played the round in under 4 hours on a sunny 24 degree day. This is usually a 5 hour round course so the day was a delight for the first round of the year.

This is the course to play in brampton. Excellent value from golf now. Course was in great shape for the time of year. Pace was perfect as was the weather. My only issue was the abundance of leaves on the greens, but what can I expect being fall? Otherwise, a great day at lionhead!

Keep it on the fairway

Without a doubt, this is probably the toughest course I have ever played, yet there were also moments of satisfaction, mostly on the par 3 holes.
The long drives however weren't the biggest challenge, nor were the hazards. I found that the putting green and approaches to be my biggest challenge by far. I can hardly wait to play next year or perhaps before the end of the season, if I can only keep the ball out of the leaves. At this time of year, they hide the ball in every shallow.

fall at legends

A challenging track that has some drainage issues.
Standing water in sand traps and poor sand management in the rest of the traps make for unnecessary challenges in a tough course.
Greens were tough but fair. No one seems too repair their ball marks on the greens! I am sure it makes the greens crew frustrated.

A great course

Extremely challenging course in in great shape considering they are starting the fall maintenance. Greens and fairways being punched but workers did not interfere with play. Greens that had been punched were sanded and rolled and a bit slow but very playable.

Worth it at the Hot Deal price

Not what it use to be, but still nice to play it at the Hot Deal price. The greens were below average, and the garbage looked like it wasn't picked up in a week.
