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.

Course was in great shape and very enjoyable to play. Looking forward to my next round there
Great Fast Round in perfect weather
Pleasantly surprised that I completed a round in just over 4 hours, that is a first at Lionhead, where it tends to be very busy when the weather is good
Nice course, but extremely slow round!
The course was in good condition. The bunkers were not flat or raked. Every time I was in a bunker, I did not get a flat lie. I always found a spot in between mounds in the bunker. It took almost 5.5 hours to play, which especially in September is totally unacceptable. I saw maybe 1 Marshall driving around, so apparently they were not worried about speeding up pace of play.
This is the third time playing the course this year. The past 2 times were great - this is a good golf course and a good value for $85. We typically golf here at least two or three times per year.
Labor Day Monday there were too many people on the course, and it was not being managed. When we got to the 14th tee after 4+ hours, there was a foursome on the green, a foursome on the fairway, a foursome ahead of us on the tee ,the foursome behind us were leaving the green, with a group behind them in sight to make their approach.
We ended up leaving as we all had things to do and didn't have the time for a 6+ hours game. It was disappointing - the last time I played here, we played the course in just over 4 hours.

Great Day of golf.
Course conditions were perfect, fairways on point, greens perfect. Food at the restaurant was incredible, there will be days just to go for the food. Only complaint was their range scenario, couldn't bring Cart to range so a bit annoying to have to carry clubs to the range. Overall an excellent course , will definetly be back.
Great track - great price
Course was in great shape. Slow foursome of beginner golfers in front of us, Marshall encouraged them to pick up the pace.
They stopped for lunch so we jumped ahead and completed the round in just over four hours.
Highly recommend this course,.
Great setup overall. Could use a few tweaks. Play it before its gone!
Lots of friendly staff to help with setting up the bags/carts. Just drive up and pop your trunk and they'll look after your bag while you park.
Course is very nice, back 9 being nicer. Greens were just ok, I expected them to be faster. But they are massive, so you should be able to hit them easily enough.
One thing I love about this course is the way course information is displayed, both the rocks showing the hole details and sign posts telling you where the next teeboxes are. Some courses fail in this regard but Lionhead does it best.
Pace of play was a little slow for a weekday, but I think this is mainly down to the fact that the other 18 was booked up with a big outing of what looked like 60+ players. About 5 hrs total with cart.
One major peeve I would have with this course is the bunkers are terrible. The sand is not deep and are full of rocks. My playing partner damaged his SW in the bunker on 18, dented a groove in fact. I realize some courses want the 'natural' elements in a golf course but not at the expense of damaging someone's club.
I'll play Legends next week, as that looks to be the better track, hoping bunkers are better ( or else I should just try avoid being in any :) )
Word on the street is that 9 holes from the masters course will be developed into housing in the next few years.
This course has 36 championship holes in fantastic shape and a must to play .
It took 5 hours 20 minutes to play the round. It's unfortunate because I do like the course. I have played there numerous times and the pace is inconsistent. This last round took way too long and that ruined the outing. I play 50 + rounds per year and I tend to stick to courses that push the pace of play.
Thanks Dean, will pass along to Rod and his team in the Proshop.
Disappointment
had a scheduled tee time and was delayed by 30 minutes. then they put us off the back 9. not what we had signed up for!
We will have to look into this! Thanks for the feedback.
Great shape
Played this course a few times and always enjoy it. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The course is in great shape and the pace of play was perfect. The beverage cart was always available. The greens are well maintained.
Thanks for the feedback!
Incorrect rate
Great day. Course is good as usual, but was a little annoyed we were charged too much. Supposed to be $169 due at course for the 2 of us, we paid $96 each. Didn't realize until I got home.
Call Steve in the Proshop and he should be able to correct virtually if you paid by CC. 905.455.8400
Course in reasonable shape - brutal pace of play!
Overall the course is in reasonable shape but the pace of play at 5:10 hrs was brutal with no marshals on the course. I have played the course before but had never experienced these kind of delays on almost every hole. They desparately need to pick up the pace!!
We need to do better! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks!!
