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.

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 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 :)

Poor conditioning

We had a foursome at Lionhead Legends on Sunday September 15/13 at 9:36 AM. We did not actually tee-off until 9:55 AM, not too bad but still fifteen minutes late. The fairways were strewn with unreplaced divots, most of the sand traps had footprints in them and the greens had an extraordinary amount of unfixed ballmarks.
For $114.00 (tax included) it was overvalued. The layout of this course is very good and, if it is in good condition, it can be a treat to play. I was disappointed with the conditions more than anything.
My experience with Golfnow.com, however, was very positive.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent.
Cheers

Good test of your skills

I've played a number of times over the years. It is a very challenging course, hence the 148 slope rating from Blue tees. Overall I am always happy to play there. However some minor issues include having the grass cutter essentially on half of the holes that we played (same guy every time) and more maddening is the lack of sand in some traps. Hole 7 greenside bunker I actually bottomed out and hit mesh with my club (1/2" below surface of sand) causing a major mis-shot.

Overall nice course but could use a few extras for the money

Overall a nice golf course but for the money I would expect:
- gps in golf carts
- complimentary tees should have corporate branding - plain white tees look cheap
- complimentary bottle of water would be a nice welcoming touch
- greens could use attention to repair ball marks

Plays long, beautiful scenery.

We had a slow group in front of us that was not attended too and probably delayed us by 1 hour. Our foursome had to break up so to a twosome so we could get round in expected time.

Stay Away

Brutally Long Round. No marshals in sight. For a course that takes great care in shuttling everyone out in tedious order, there was no reason a twosome should have taken over 5 hours to play on a late Sunday afternoon.

The course is challenging but enjoyable

Overall a good experience. Two areas for improvement would be: our T-time was 2:15 and Lionhead changed our reservation to 2:42 which we pushed to have changed but only got off at 2:35. Play was slow at 5 1/2 hrs. - a marshall was needed. We just finished pre-darkness.

Not worth the price you pay

For $99 plus tax they don't offer facilities. You have to pay extra for driving rang $10 for a small bucket. There mark up is more then any other course I've played, $9 dollar beers,$2.50 for a Toni coffee, $4.00 Gatorade, plus greens are patchy and ball marks everywhere, divots at all the tee boxes. But friendly staff

Not for the High Handicapper of Faint of Heart

A beautiful course that is most challenging.
Pace of play was slow (5:15) due to "carts only" rules in the AM (after significant rain the prior day). Regardless, I think that you should expect at least a 4:30 round here.
If you are more than an 18 HCP, you should play the other course, as you may find this one frustrating, slow down play for the other golfers, and not enjoy the game as much as you should.

Every club in the bag will be required with a premium paid for accuracy off the tee and approaches.
