Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Masters
About
The Masters Course at Lionhead Golf & Country Club is ideal for golfers who don't feel they are prepared to take on the demanding Legends Course at the club, which has been ranked as one of the toughest courses in North America. The Masters layout is similar to golf courses in Florida, with unique bunkers and scenic ponds that meld perfectly with the rolling hills and wetlands that dot the scenic landscape. Its more traditional layout is considered the kinder and gentler of the two golf courses at Lionhead Golf & Country Club, but there are still a fair amount of challenges. The Masters course requires several long carries over water, particularly on the 16th. This infamous par 5 features a green surrounded by water.

Good early spring conditions
Good conditions considering its early spring in the GTA. Sand traps have been groomed but could use more sand.
Usually a great bang for the buck if you get it under $80.
Only negative is they're renovating their restaurant which may have affected the half way house opening. Had to wait over 15min for a hot dog in their restaurant upstairs. Thankfully it was before my round but cut into range time. Range was only mats which was another negative.
My favorite course to play.
Always a great time when I play at lionhead. Will be booking another tee time in the very near future.
Challenging Adventure
Yes, Adventure! Every time I play the Masters I am presented with a different test of my ability as a golfer. This time was no different. Although it was the first game of the season and I was very rusty from the long winter, I had my difficulties and it showed in my score. That's the CHALLENGE! The next time I play it will be to improve my ability to handle this course to my advantage and hope to score better than before. Great ride for the average golfer at an affordable dollar.
Good conditions for early season
The course was in pretty good condition for early in the season. There were a few wet spots in low lying areas - but not too bad overall. Greens were rolling surprisingly well and in pretty good shape. Bunkers were also in good shape.
Masters
Alway's a challenge at Lionhead. Public course with private club feel.
My favorite course
This sits at the top of my favorite courses in ON; a close 2nd would be Georgian Bay Club.
Golfing with the leaves
There were too many leaves on the course. The staff at some courses like Silver Lakes and Glen Cedars would try their effort to blow the leaves away from the greens and fairways but not at this course.
Lionhead Masters
Played this course late Fall. It was 8 degrees with a bit of wind but you can't ask for a better fall round. The staff were great and the course was quite empty which made for a very relaxing round. The greens were well groomed and made for very fun putts. Great course with well placed bunkers. Will definitely go back next season.
Tough course
Challenging and long. You must drive it long and accurate. Greens will kill your score.
Great late season game
First time playing the Master's course for all in my foursome, we all loved the course and the layout. Some great par 4 holes, short but hitting 2nd. shots into tightly guarded greens.
The staff was friendly but as others have noted the pace of play was slow. We were delayed 30 minutes from our tee-off time for no obvious reason (no frost delay). The first 6 holes took 2 hours to play but the pace of play picked up after that.
We paid a discounted Fall rate so we felt the game was an overall good experience, I would love to play this course again
could be great
Too slow...this course would be top ranked if they speed up play.
lionhead
Course is in great shape but this time of year ( fall) the leaves in some of the fairways and most of the greens make it hard to find your ball that's where slow play comes in other then that enjoyed playing the course
Golf Now Bargain
This course is an excellent place to try out every club in the bag, especially the driver. You will find many opportunities to hit the ball long, short and high. If you like to play the ball on a hill, that is there as well. As for the water and other hazards; yes, the 16th in particular can be daunting. All in all, a very pleasant course to challenge your skill set on any level and a very scenic journey.
Masters - good course, but could be GREAT!
My impression of Lionhead has always been mixed because I know that it could be a GREAT course, but there's always something about it that leaves me disappointed. This time it was the conditions of the greens, which in my opinion is the most important part of the playing field. It might be nearing the end of the season, but as a highly regarded golf club, there's no excuse for not keeping it in top notch! I most likely will try it again and hopefully it'll be a GREAT course the next time around.
Cheers,
Tony
Boys round out
Course was in good shape for October, greens were super tough due to hard pin placements but all in all was a great track and I will definitely be back!

Lionhead Masters Course
Not sure it could have been a better day. The weather was perfect. The course was for the most part in very good shape. The front nine greens were top dressed and this made for some speed variations . The pace of play was very good. Staff was pleasant. The bag drop was well run, shuttle from parking area was fast and carts were labelled with our names. All in all a good experience.
Extremely Slow Pace
Every thing was great. The weather, the course,
It was busy which is normal. We had to leave before
the 12th hole because we were already 4 hours and 15 minutes in. I wasn't expecting to be spending 6 hours playing golf. It was not easy waiting most holes 10 minutes before teeing off.
It's hard waiting that long.
great course but slow play
The course is in wonderful condition and challenging.
However, the pace of play was ridiculous, almost 6 hrs to play and the marshalls unresponsive or not caring.
A real damper on a fine layout.........
Nice course
It's a really nice course but it does not justiify regular rates. I got a great deal price. I am surprised and disappointed that the golf carts are not equipped with GPS devices
