Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Masters

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.

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.

Alway's a challenge at Lionhead. Public course with private club feel.

This sits at the top of my favorite courses in ON; a close 2nd would be Georgian Bay Club.

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.

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.

Challenging and long. You must drive it long and accurate. Greens will kill your score.

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

Too slow...this course would be top ranked if they speed up play.

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

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.

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,

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!

great cource good value close to home great prices good staff gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

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.

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.

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.........

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

The course was in good condition, somewhat disappointed with unavailability of the snack bar early in the morning.

Staff was courteous.

1st time on Legands, course was soaked after hard morning rain, cart path only. The greens were still very fast , but seemed thin and had seen a lot of traffic even though I am sure it wasn't from this day. Pace was great hardly saw any other golfers. We had to fill up the ball washer on our cart as we received it empty and there are no ball washers on the course. Only saw the Cart girl on the 3rd hole then again on the 15th, would have liked to see her a couple more times. We had an enjoyable day
