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.

Slow Play

The course was in pretty good condition. Greens were in very good shape. If you were not on the fairways, the rough was thick and could prove costly in stokes. The biggest pet peeve was the pace of play. We started out 10 minutes behind adn had to wait at almost every hole.

An enjoyable challenge

Lionhead - Legends was a fun test. The course was in great condition, despite being a little wet. It had been raining prior to our tee off and the day before, as well. Even with wet conditions and cart-path only rules, playing this course was a treat. Pace of play was perfect. We never had to wait for a shot. The staff was friendly and the course was playing fair (I'd like to go back on a dry day and see how much more challenging it can be). Played from the Blue tees, which was a good test. I wouldn't have broken 90 if we were playing from the Golds! Will hopefully return this year to play the Masters course as well. Favourite round of the year so far!

Beautiful course and facility. Very difficult layout, especially the back nine on legends.

Great! Difficult if not an experienced player. Back nine is brutal. A definite shot makers course. Pars are good scores.

Rain squalls but a great round

First time playing Lionhead Legends. Overall my favourite Kaneff Course to date (I have yet to play Streetsville and Niagara). Worthy competitor to Glen Abbey as there are many similar holes offered. Nice to play complete round in valley playing around many water features including the Credit River. Was a bit wet, but you would be an idiot to think a course played entirely within a watershed boundary would be anything less after a solid week of rain.

Some minor flaws: clubhouse needs updating (i.e. roof, carpeting) and some of the cart paths were closed, but perhaps that is because of the rain.

Overall, great round on a difficult course. 8/10

Challenging course

You will use all your clubs on this course. My advice is to club down by one. Fescues depth are longer that they appear.

Too slow

It is impossible to play in under 5 hours at Lionhead Legends. No evidence of rangers or their monitoring pace of play. Expensive course does not represent value in today's market. After favouring Lionhead for 3 seasons have decided to find another faourite place to play. May 17 - 5h40m May 26 - 5h15m

great day of golf

The course was in great condition . The pace was very slow and frustrating to wait at each tee . The chicken burgers from the Food shack were not fully cooked so that was disappointing.

Course rewards and punishes shots accordingly

Fantastic layout with a wicked opening first hole. Food and proshop staff below par (i'm certain there were some trainees) but I'm certain that will improve as the season progresses.

Outside of that, tough course on a cold windy and wet day.

I would definitely play this course again.

It's a challenging course that I found myself being a bit more conservative on. The greens rolled nicely, the couple bunkers I was in were good, and the rest of the place was in great shape. My only gripe was with hole 15 - I found it to be a little too odd with the sharp dog leg and narrow fairway to the green.

All said, it was a great round and I will definitely consider playing there again.

Great Track & Scenery

The course was in pretty good shape. As any public course goes there are too many ball marks on the greens but thats about the people who play it rather than the course itself. Fix You Ball Marks People!!!
It's a true approach shot course, very small and mounded greens are a great challenge to any player.
I'd definitely come back!

Great value for your dollar

For early May, course was in pretty good shape. The fairways were in very good condition and the rough was cut low enough to give you a chance when you miscued on your shot. The greens were pretty hard considering not many ball marks left after balls coming into the green. Overall, a great experience, look forward to the next round.

Tough Course

Great price from Golfnow.com to play this course. Driving range was mats only which was a downside. Legends course has always been very challenging. Couse conditions were surprisingly good except for ball marks on greens that people do not fix. 90 degree cart rule. Pace of play slowed after front nine as we were a twosome and the foursome in front of us would not offer us to pass them. Mashalls were driving around but did nothing to speed up play. They did however give me heck for driving the cart in the rough a little bit as it was not exactly 90 degrees. Should have worried about pace of play over my minor infraction as it was a bit of a joke imho. Would play this course again as its always a good test.
