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 Course - Challenging

Love this course. It keeps you honest and your ego at bay. You really need to be accurate and realistic about your club selection.

The marshalls are always great. They'll give you any advice you need and will even chat with you on the tee box.

Toooo long

It took us 5 hours and 20 minutes to play 18 holes. Several holes had 3 groups waiting to tee off. Not a good experience.

Beautiful course. Challenging and a pleasure to play. One of my favorites.

Lionhead - Legends was a pleasure to play again. The course was in great condition, despite being a heavy rain the night before. Pace of play was good. Only had to wait to shoot twice. Challenging course for both the long and short game.
As usual, the halfway house service was painfully slow. Otherwise, the day would be perfect.

Fun to play at a reduced price, though very challenging.

I enjoyed the course at the reduced rate through golfnow.com. My game and budget wouldn't include this course under normal conditions. This was a treat, helped by the fabulous fall weather. Perhaps because the land is low, I found the course to be very wet even though there had been little rain for days. The drainage must be poor. The golf course guide would have been a big help but we were too cheap to spend the $5. Don't know if the full-rate payers get it free but I think the club could and should be more generous. Apart from the wetness, the course was in good shape and a real challenge.

Great course

Excellent course and a lot of fun. Greens were very challenging and some very tight approaches, especially on the back nine. I played from the blues and from what I could tell only a few holes would have been stretched out to a ridiculous length by going to the tips. It was tough but I am surprised it is sloped as high as it is. I'm a 18 and shot 98 and that was a lot of three putts. I thoroughly enjoyed it but again, remain surprised that a scratch or single digit player would find this course so tough.

A great day of golf on a challenging course.

Enjoyed playing this challenging course on a beautiful fall day. Really need to be accurate and some long second shots required to clear hazards. Some very difficult pin placements. Good to read hole by hole descriptions on course website for tips.

Course condition

Still crowded. Won't finish 18 holes if tee off after 2:15. Great condition, tough rolling greens. Not sure if the Legends is third toughest course in NA as per 2000 Golf Digest article. Maybe from the Black tees, it is challenging to score in the low 70'. I think Silver Tip in BC would be tougher, Devil's Pulpit also harder.
Overall, condition and scenery can't beat either Legends or Masters. Glad it didn't get acquired by Club Link.

The course is great but expensive

The price deal was a bit too expensive. I think Golfnow.com could make out some deal with the Lionhead - Legend course with better pricing. All other services were great!!

This course is okay, but over priced for what you get.

This courses greens where not well maintained, the bunkers where also not very well kept. Over all, an okay course to play. Definitely is challenging to ones game, but because of the badly maintained greens. Leaves ones desire to play it again, along with the high fee. To not bother coming back !

A Beast From The Tips

LionHead Legends is such a great golf course - from the opening t-shot down into the valley to 18 down to the creek. 150 slope from the tips - not crazy long at 6950yds but a premium on accuracy.
All the holes tighten up as you get close to the greens - condition was good - greens fast and fair - play the proper T's and enjoy one of Canada's best public tracks - looking forward to my next round on Legends.

Over-rated and super slow pace.

Pro shop staff was not friendly (didn't even say thank you), greens were in terrible shape (lots of unrepaired ball marks on all greens), saw the beverage cart once during the round and no marshals to be seen on the course!!! We waited on the group ahead of us on every hole and they had nobody in front of them. Try sending out marshals next time to speed up the pace of play.

Legend course is tough

Legend course is tough and fun, front 9 is challenging, while turns to back 9 it is a different level of toughness, need distance and accuracy both, some part 4s acrossing river actually equal to a par 5 to me if play the blue tee.

a tight and challenging test of your abilities.

A beautiful and difficult test of your mettle as a golfer. It will bite the aggressive and the wayward but surprisingly delight the humble and straight. one word of advise. Play from the right Tees and you will go home happy at being granted a lovely day out on a beautiful course. If your ego takes the best of you, it can be a gruesome experience. .. the course will still be beautiful if you get the time between rough trees water and bunkers :)
