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.

Great shape

It's been over 10 years since I played the course. It won't be another 10 years to play it again. The course was in excellent condition...greens little faster than they look.

A tough track

Very challenging course for any level of golfer; greens were excellent (at least 16 out of 18) Fairways are cut very short which permits excellent opportunity for accurate drives to get maximum carry. Second cut of rough is thick and will penalize 8 out of 10 golfers. Hole 11, 12 and 13 can play havoc with your scorecard if you are not accurate all the way to the green. This is 18holes you want to play more than once!

Challenging and fun!

The course was top-notch. Pretty, well-maintained, very good greens, which were difficult to read. Very enjoyable. Not a good choice for beginners though.

Tee off Early

Extremely beautiful & challenging course .The course is well maintained and organized!
The starter was extremely friendly !
All golf carts are pre assigned with labelling of your name & tee off time. Arrived early before my 712 am tee off time and was sent out at 700Am as the 703 group were not ready to tee off . time ....
Played the white tees which were plenty long and challenging for this senior . Cant wait to play this course again !

Great holfing day

Nice and challenging course. Long par 4s. Difficult greens and not always perfect greens due to other golfers not taking care of their pitch marks. Very nice "weather" marshall indicating rain and luckily for us he was only right once! We felt as if we were all alone on the course! Good value for money.

Roasting by 18...

Early morning tee off was in order for this round with temps feeling like 35 degrees even at that time in the morning. Made for a great morning, course was in good condition and always a challenge. The only downside is that they actually decided to cut on a busy Monday....it wasnt a holiday but because Tuesday was lots of people had it off. So, the course was busy even that early and it was a bit of an annoyance to have the crew follow us to basically every tee....and the guy doing the fairway divot replacement had the loudest cart EVER...it was like we had someone following us carrying a chain saw. Geez. Oh, and dont go into the bushes - they were spraying for Hogweed and apparently its all over there.

Beautiful and Difficult Course

This course was very nice and fun to play. Went in with a some extra balls which were needed. Really enjoyed it and would like to play again. Would normally not be able to afford playing this course without a deal like this. Our group played from the Blue tee's to get some extra time on the course.
The deal was for $69.50 but after GolfNow fees and taxes was $81.35, which was awesome compared to $155 pre-tax regular price.

Beautiful and challenging

the legends course is a must play for every golfer in the GTA...there's no better combination of beauty, challenge and pristine conditions. The pace can be slow because of how tough it is and how many balls can be lost so try and play late in day or early in morning.

Way over priced and extremely poor quality.

Played this course back in May 2014. Booked through golf now who charged me a month later as only 3 of 4 players showed up. This is one of the worst courses in the area. The price was astronomical and quality of the course was comparable was not in great shape. I highly recommend not playing this one. There are far better courses including staff for half the price. Real bad experience. Will never play here again.

Great course but...

They do not have any drinking water on the course and not one refreshment cart was seen until the 11th hole. By this time we all ready stocked up at the halfway house with overpriced Gatorade and water.
For the price of the green fee they should include a small bucket of range balls to warm up if you would like. $9 for a small bucket of balls that only go 80% distance since they don't have a full length range is a little extreme.

A good challenge of golf

We found the course to be in pretty good shape but, the greens were a bit slow.
The pin placements were quite challenging as was the golf. The golf experience overall was a good value for the money.
Looking forward to returning to Lionhead for more golf!

Slowest course I have ever played

Quit after 9 holes, Starting hole had 4 groups on it. Did not even start the game until 1/2 hr after starting time. Time was in the morning so must have been backed up from the start.

Backed up

The score card shows that the round will take about 5 hours, however at the first tee box, we were waiting for two groups ahead of us and at most holes, we were waiting for the same two groups. The pace never really improved. Other than that, great course to play, lots of fun.

Beauty course and great greens crew

Best greens crew in GTA... Love this course. Pace of play is okay. Legends is not an easy course by any means. Below intermediate, bring some extra sleeves of balls.

It is a challenging course but I find that the greens this year have not been fast as they used to be and some of the greens still have damaged spots which makes putting unpredictable....

Decent Design. Embarrassing execution

Over $100 (including GolfNOW discount) yet still have the nerve to charge another $15 for a bucket of range balls to warm up on poorly maintained decks with minimal targets. Embarrassing.
Once on the course, expect a 5hr round hitting to greens riddled with pitch marks.
Interesting, challenging design, but I think the layout actually takes the driver out of your hands too often to be honest as numerous holes force irons/hybrids off the tee followed by mid/long irons into shallow (and bumpy) greens. A shame really as the course is cut through beautiful towering trees and rivers.
Great location, but you can find much better value elsewhere.

disappointed

The price is way too high considering the condition of the course. The greens were extremely rough.
Breakfast was good but the selection of the snacks on the cart was minimal. Most courses I have played, I can usually get sandwich selections on the cart.
