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.

Challenging

Very challenging course. The par 4's can almost feel like a par 5 with the hazards in place. Course is in great shape.

Only issue was that the beverage cart was no where to be seen and they close the restaurant very early. Even when open, is hard to find staff to serve you. This needs to improve.

Deceived

Course was in very poor condition, wet all over and the fairway felt like sponge.

When we paid to check in, the staffs did not mention the course was in poor condition and cart path only, no one told us anything not even the starter, they should have told us when we checked in so that we could decide whether we still want to play or not

We were only told carts must go on the paths by one of the Marshalls after we played the first hole or they will take the cart keys away, so we felt we were being cheated.

Golfers pace was very slow because of cart path only, we need to wait several minutes at almost every hole, some players skipped holes to have faster pace, golfers behind us kept pushing us and acted very rudely, they hit their balls very close to us but we have no space to move forward.

We felt so disappointed and frustrated to play on this course in such poor condition, we do have the feeling of being deceived.

Tough course with long carries

Ball placement is critical on this corse and course knowledge would be highly beneficial as a number of shots were blind. The carries are long for someone playing from the red tees. It is definitely one of the most challenging courses and is well maintained.

Lionhead Legends: Always a challenge.

I have played this course numerous times and this was the first time this year. Course conditions are outstanding. Best in years. The course plays tough but fair. A really good test of golf which will make you use every club in your bag. One of my favorite courses in the Greater Toronto Area.

Painting the cups while playing

Really, they needed to use white enamel paint to paint the cups while play was going on. Had paint on my glove, hand, ball and pants. Just a big mess. Don't go here, its amateur hour.

This course will humble you

The course itself is absolutely beautiful but don't let that fool you...it is extremely difficult. The conditions were just about perfect with the exception of a couple of wet spots. I would highly recommend everyone plays the Legends course at least once as it really is course design at its finest. You will quite literally forget you are in the middle of highly populated suburb as the course is so scenic.

Was hosting colleagues up for NBA finals. Waited half an hour at the turn for food at lunch time as they had run out of prepared food. We were then rushed because we were out of sequence.

Really slow play but very nice golf course

Course was packed and pace was very slow. Condition was good considering it rained heavily the day prior. Cart path only was the rule of the day which probably contributed to the slow pace in all fairness. The course is tough and likely many people struggling with the layout and lack of roll in the fairways. Overall was a pleasant experience, we were in no hurry and it was a beautiful day.
