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.

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.
Slow pace but excellent challenging course.
Took a long time to finish the round.. slow pace. course is in great shape and challenging.
Great course, as long as you have a deal
Lionhead was a great course - the fairways were incredible, the greens quick and interesting. Pace was a little slow, and the course marshal took a bit of time to speed things up, but once he did, it was smooth sailing (f9 - 2.5 hrs, b9 - 2 hours). One complaint , and not about the course, is the general observation that just because you can afford to play Lionhead, doesn't mean you should. Both in terms of play and etiquette, there were far too many players who had no clue how to golf properly. Divots were not replaced, ball marks on greens not repaired - it was embarrassing. But the course itself was amazing.
good course
Its a very tough course to play and very challenging
Nice track as usual
Very challenging couse which is always in good shape even after the flood on the legends. Depending on your mood that day there are two courses, one tough and the other a bit easier but you can also play different tees makes thing alot easier depending on who you are playing with that day. I have played there quite often and never had a bad experience.
Top notch course and tough...superb layout.
This course was in tip top shape. Had a colleague from England visiting and he thought every hole should have been in a magazine because it was so pleasing to the eye from the Blue Tees. The course is very well designed and gives you opportunities to play safe for bogey golf, but if you want be aggressive, you better have game because everything is strategically placed. The course basically ate him alive but he really respected a top level Canadian styled course like this one. This course on a beautiful summer day and blue skies from the back tees teeters on spectacular. I got a good deal so, that was worth it. Much harder than the Masters course they have.
Good shape but expensive....
With so many excellent courses in the GTA, Iggy and his staff really need to rethink what they are charging golfers to play this course. Sorry......
The Legends Course: As advertised!
The course and facility were as advertised. The Legends course layout, from the blue tee box, did not disappoint. Every hole has its own nuance to keep you alert to where you wish to place your next shot. The greens were running fast. Sure the course is beat up by golfers not repairing their divots and the greens are becoming butchered by massive amounts of non-repaired ball marks. I made it my policy to repair 2 additional marks per green beyond my own. I did enjoy my time with this course. I just wish more golfers would treat it with more respect. Definitely play this course.
Golf
Played last 2 holes through sprinklers. Plenty of light out and a few groups still behind us. No need for those to be on yet and for us to have to run in and out to quickly hit our ball to avoid getting soaked.
great course, pace of play far too slow
In spite of many positives, mainly course design and course conditioning, with pace of play in the 5 hour range this spoils the occassion. This course should be restricted to players who can handle a tough course.
