Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Masters

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.

Even on your best day this course will humble you. From the blues the slope is 139!

Staff not to friendly but do their job
Find them cold

Lionhead sets the bar for a great day of golf overall. It may not be as difficult as Legends but the Masters is plenty challenging enough (16th is an terrific and tough hole) and conditions are always great. Not much more to say about the course that hasn't already been raved about.

It was daylight savings the day we played and the staff were amazing to get everyone out in time to finish 18 holes. It's not a cheap round of golf, but I guess it costs for the kind of upkeep and quality this course provides.

Course was in great condition, and playing end of November was a bonus. The price to play Lionhead was also a very good deal

I have found most high-end/private course staff lack the social skills to provide customers an excellent start to their game

Your round will provide the variety and fun that you and your foursome can muse about well after it's over.

I have called the course to let them know about the pace of play, there was a 2 hole gap on the back 9 that was holding everyone up. we golfed with a marshall from another course and I passed along what they do at his course, would not stop me from coming back.

First we arrive and have the masters booked for the afternoon, we are told they will fit us in somehow. we start our round, cart path only, I have a knee brace on, marshall stops un after the 3rd hole asks how round is going, tell him about knee, he gets a flag so we can go 90% , the only way I would have got the 36 in. wonderful experience.... and the same price as you would pay at some of the ""local tracks""""

It was a beautiful Fall day in Southern Ontario. The course was being well-maintained despite the heavy downing of Fall leaves all over the course. Beautiful course with many changes of elevation changes and challenging greens. The only caveat was that the Pro Shop would not allow carts on the fairways or even the 90 degree rule from the paved pathways. The course was wet in some areas but that didn't stop the heavy blowing trucks from working on the fairways. There were hardly no issues from speed of play due to golfers taking their time or mismanagement of course play. There were hardly any golfers on the course but this round took 5.5 hours to complete...mainly due to parking cart and having to walk back and forth to find and play shot. If a course wants to protect the fairways, then a GPS controlled cart would have been an asset.

Had a nice Fall day, Sunday afternoon with a number of slowdowns due to leaves in the fairway etc...course was in good end of the season condition and would rate higher during the summer/late spring....You need to be accurate from the tee or it could be a long day...there are some school buses buried on the greens so you better be on the right side of the flag! Overall good value for $50/w cart....nice track but list price is higher because of GTA, get a deal and then play it....

I have always loved the layout of Lionhead. You can't just stand on the tee box and know what club to hit, it makes you think. The course is in great shape for mid - late October and the greens were some of the best I've played on all year. I always feel like I'm getting more of a private club experience here and love showing up to see my name on the cart, ready to go.

GOLF NOW PRICE WAS INCREDIBLE. $50 I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FALL RATES, BUT I ASKED REGULAR RATE WAS 100 THAT DAY.

If you want a challenge then this is the course for you.

Always like this course. A good balance between challenging and playability. Last time were stuck behind some novice players and no sign of marshal to move them along. It was a 5+ hour round.
