Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Masters

Great deals. Only flaw would be if you can't make your time. Your out the money

A couple of things bug me. I can understand that they do not want the carts out during tournaments, but everyday golfers should be able to take carts to their cars to load their clubs etc and drive to the driving range. i hate having to carry my clubs with me when i want to go and practise. The other thing that i find odd is that they do not have GPS in their carts. Its hard to find a course these days that dont. if cost is a factor, they should give you the option of renting one, if asked. Yesterday was hot and dry and they had "cart path" rules only, it was not warranted. Too many folks guarding carts at the pro shop, but no marshalls on the course to speed up play. Having said that, I still love the course.

Everything was perfect, except that it took 5 and a half hours to complete the round, due to delays and a wait at every hole. Not up to the usual Lionhead standards.

This was the first time in over 20 years that I've played either of the Lionhead courses. My overall experience was good to very good and now that I've been re-acquainted with the facility, I will play here again. The only downside to the day was the 5 hours and 20 minutes it took to get around, due to the volume of players. Some of the greens were showing the effects of the heavy traffic of the holiday afternoon (especially on the back nine) however in general, we found the course to be holding up very well. Amazing pro shop, all of the staff that we encountered were very friendly, and the course marshals were doing their best to keep the pace moving. Considering the numbers of players on the course, it could have been a lot worse if not for their efforts. I would recommend this course to others.

This is a great course. It deserves all the talk it gets in the area of quality and challenge. It's a great course with a lot of extremely difficult shots and holes. The greens were super quick in mid-May and the bunkers were all loose and raked. However, I don't think it is worth the money and you will get an equally challenging experience and condition with some other less expensive courses.

Fun if you like lots of cart riding. Some really really great holes that are fun and challenging. Cart was filthy with spilled coffee on cup holders and complimentary tees and the battery was low.

1) It is odd that they will not allow you to bring your cart over to the range.

2) It is especially odd that the range fee is not included. You don't usually have to pay for a bucket of balls when playing a top-notch course.

3) Do you HAVE to take a cart? I didn't see any pullcarts available for those of us who prefer to walk.

Lionhead is an ok golf course that charges for green fees as if they are a top flight/top notch golf club. It is an ok golf course but it is way overpriced. I will not be returning anytime soon. If its booked as a hot deal for for around $50 that is a fair price in my opinion but it is not worth a dollar over that and they try to charge double that in most time slots.... good golf course but terrible value in my opinion

I gather a group of twelve friends to play a sunday morning, everyone enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, all the staff was excellent and pleasant to deal with. The entire group and fun and we unanimously stated that it was a great value for the money.

It is always a pleasure to plat at Lionhead golf course

Played with Oscar, Frank and Walt. Beautiful sunny day, 2nd game of the year since we arrived home on April 5th. Greens were a little slow, however fairways were in good shape this early in the season. Foursome in front of us were a little slow and playing the "gold tees". Some men have not learned to play within their limitations. All in all met some new friends and really enjoyed the course.

Great shape for beginning of year and a tough golf course.

The course has a great layout but the amount of un-repaired divots and plug marks on the greens was a huge dissappontment. The tees were shabby. Play was very slow and despite there being plently of dismissive staff in red shirts at the clubhouse - there was no Marshall on duty. With a rack-rate of $105 a lot more was expected. GolfNow rate of $42 was an excellent discount but only represents average value when you consider the experience.

Played Lionhead Masters course, fairways were in great condition, greens rolled true, staff friendly. Played the course May 3 ,so early in the season and the course is already in great shape . Job well done to everyone involved in getting the coarse to this level .

course is in great shape for early season. greens need a bit more attention but like I said it is early. good challenging course and great value through golfnow.com. highly recommend

A little less intimidating than Legends, the Masters has something for everyone. Some great views with lots of well placed hazards make an enjoyable afternoon on the course. And some of the nicest staff in the business.

Extremely well laid out course. Not so hard that a novice couldn't enjoy them selves but difficult enough for the 20 handy capper.

Drive placement is pretty important but is manageable for someone who has light fade. (shooting right handed)
Greens are fast even in the rain. Bunkers could do with a little work but we played in the rain .... hard to judge this really.

Great time had by all.

COURSE IN GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING THE POOR WEATHER IN APRIL 2013. FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

Given this is within 1 week of opening (official season starts April 15tH) this course was in excellent condition

Played this course for the first time last year, and after hearing how tough it was, was a bit skeptical if I would be up to the challenge. I was...but just barely.

The Masters is arguably harder than the Legends at Lion Head even though the stats say it isn't. Just like Legends, each shot from the tee must be calculated, factoring in the next shot's risk/reward via bunker placements, pin location and it's position on the green etc.... Unlike many other course where you just drive it down the middle, then aim for the green, the Masters requires skill with every club in your bag, consistency and sometimes luck to shoot a low score. I unfortunately did not have many of those things and about halfway through remarked to my partner that it was like I had just started playing golf cause I kept ending up in the bunker or rolling off the greens.

Despite the fact that we got our butts kicked at the Masters we had a great time and it was a fun experience. If you want to play a pristine tough course to test your skill then this is a great place to do it!

When I can find a good price on GolfNow I will definitely be back!

Great to play such a great course in December!
Course still in very good shape - staff very friendly.
Thanks for the opportunity.
