Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Legends
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.

Tough track and I like a challenge
Was my first time there last summer not sure witch 18 we played i would think it was Masters very well kept friendly staff organized but for an average golfer who started in his mid 20s and shoots anywhere from mid 80s to 90s and don't practice just to much coarse for me almost every 2nd shot a blind carry and sometimes would have to get 2nd shot closer before I could take blind shot this ment if super lucky on in 3 and than too par you need to one putt anyway beautiful place maybe the legends an easier track but if your not a great golfer might not be the right place for you
Ridiculous layout and club rules
6 out of 18 holes don't allow you to hit driver (due to a hazard), yet leave 200+ yard approach shots into the greens into par 4's. Not a player friendly course at all, and poorly designed...to the point that even the holes are tough to follow in order and seemed scattered all over the property.
Club rules: No golf cats in the parking lot? Really? Walked up to get my cart, was told I couldn't take it to load my clubs from my car. Walked back to my car, walked back with my clubs. Loaded the cart and headed over to the driving range. Within 5 minutes, an employee asked if that was my cart. Yes..."sorry, but no carts allowed by the driving range." Are you kidding me?? So you expect me to park my cart by the clubhouse and carry my clubs over after having had to carry my clubs from my car?? Absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary rules. For the $355 tax in I paid for 2 players, this is the worst value for money I have ever encountered at a golf facility. I would never, never play this course again, and warn others to stay away. Save your money and your patience.
Cart path
The whole course was cart path only for that day. That was the only thing. Everything else was beauty.
Great public course
A beautiful public course close to the City. Hard, yes, but not ridiculous. High handicappers can still have fun. Would definitely go back.
Disappointed
This course is often hyped as one of the best in Ontario, but honestly, I don’t think it even belongs in the top 200. The layout is frustrating, with far too many blind shots that make it feel more like guesswork than strategy. Several par 5s are poorly designed—you can’t even hit driver on them, which really limits your options off the tee.
The fescue around the creeks is way too long, making it nearly impossible to get the ball airborne if you stray even slightly offline. For the price they're charging, the experience just doesn't match the cost. At best, this is an average course with a premium price tag
Beast of a course
Toughest test in the GTA. Good value for quality of course. Legends is an outstanding layout. Not for high handicappers.
Play this course with 15 handicap or less. Otherwise it will be no fun.
Customer service is not good 😐
