Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Masters

When we checked in I specifically asked if there were Marshalls on the Course ? The answer was yes there are, since Me and my Buddy's have golfed there at least 8 a year since it open and have stuck through thick and thin with Lionhead over the years.. Well now it very obvious they are just trying to make money anyway possible. So We politely waited on the back nine for a five some , 3 carts on the same hole with balloons tied to the cart. After a 3 1/2 front nine we went around the five some to the next only to meet up with 2 guys to finish their spliff, then decide to go find their balls on a par 3 . So we packed it in a went to the club house to see pro. He's gone and the kid behind the counter told there were Marshalls on the course and did nothing for us . So that will be the last time we golf Lionhead.

With warmer temp, (12deg), wind was calm, clear sunny sky, I cannot ask better condition for this season!

It was bit pity there was very slow group in front of us which made 3 groups line-up at same teeground sometimes.

It tooks 4hours and 50 minutes to complete.

It doesn't happen usually at this course... where was the course marshal?

And, green speed was very slow for this course, but this is understandable because of the season.

Overall, I was very happy to play in this time of the year.

Considering it was December, the conditions were better than I would have imagined. Very much enjoyed my first time playing golf in December.

As a hot deal this course was really good but otherwise a little too pricey for me. I was a little surprised by the fact that on some holes there were a lot of leaves (in the traps) that had not been blown off and in fact I lost several balls that should have been found, apart from that the course was great!

Can't belive I was able to get out for such an awesome round November 16th!! Course in grate condition for the time of year...Pro Shop staff were awesome thanks for the generous deals!

I would have rated the course as excellent if not for the leaves... but that is fall golf. The leaves and sun made finding your balls a little more difficult, as thus slowed down the round. I though the conditions of the course were excellent, greens in good shape (players do need to fix their ball marks!!)

Great staff at this golf club. Everyone is so friendly. The staff in pro shop are really good group.

One of the most beautiful courses I have ever played.
I liked that much, that I decided to play it again next day.
Beautiful, Challenging, very well maintained. A gem!
It's a shame hearing from the people I was playing with, that in about 2 years 9 holes are going to end up in new houses.............. What a shame!

Lionhead is a favourite of mine. A combination of layout, pace of play and condition combined. Hard to beat the value in the city!

First nine easier than back nine. Some good challenges, with strategic bunkers being a factor. Got held up on back nine, but pace was OK. Liked no. 16 and back nine overall.

Entire course was in terrific shape. For $70 with cart you can't get better.

The Masters course may not be as revered as the Legends course, but nevertheless it is still a challenging layout with many bunkers, several doglegs, varying elevations. Several holes you have to play target golf to get par and then you can attack other holes. A good experience. Recommended.

Overall terrific day. Was able to get a good deal through GolfNow and we all enjoyed the value, course & weather.

Lionhead is highly recommended for facilities, course layout and staff attentiveness.

I had never considered playing Lionhead simply due to the overinflated rates. We found a great deal for an early morning round (Masters course) and decided to give it a try. Staff couldn't have been nicer and the conditions of the course are very good, though cart path only after some rain the previous day was a bit surprising. Greens were very nice but maybe it's the typical clientele here...seems most can't be bothered to repair ball marks.
This course is typical of other Kaneff courses with several cramped tees next to greens - I expected better at their flagship course. Numerous crossover points could be confusing but signage is helpful.
We did find that the yardage is very far off on many tees - especially the numerous dog legs. My GPS is very accurate for distance points and does not straighten out the dog leg, yet some holes were off by 40 or 50 yds. Why?? Padding the length of this relatively short course?
Would definitely play again ( at the right price) but not at their usual rates.

Guys in the club house and marshalls don't know what they are doing. Played on a Monday had to leave after 7 holes, rate of play was extremely slow and our round was on pace for 6 hours for a twosome. People in front kept teeing up more shots like it was a driving range. Marshalls didn't do anything, guy in clubhouse only offered 9 hole voucher even though we only played 7 in 2.5 hours. Course was very backed up for a Monday. I enjoy this course but the staff have to step it up.

Nice course, tough layout. Busy on weekend. Too many golfers that are not experienced enough to handle a challenging course like this-slowed everybody down. Might be better on a weedkay.

Pace of play was good on the front nine. However went to almost three hours on the back. Too long.

The course was in good condition as always. I even got to meet Mr and Mrs Kaneff. They were roaming around holes 3 4 and 5. I don't think they realized that I knew who they were. But they were nice and polite. I had a good time but had a mental breakdown on 6. The shot calls for a draw to put you in great position to get home in 2. I used to hit draws in my sleep but developed a bit of a hook. Got a couple of lessons fixed the problem but lost my draw. And on that hole I couldn't hit my shot. To shorten the story it took me 6 tries and a broken driver then 2 more tries with the 3 wood to finally hit the shot. I had to put down a 20 for that hole and finish the last 12 holes without a driver. But I still had a great time with friends on a beautiful course. Even though I shot a 108 from golds

This was the first time playing the Masters and it was a great experience. The course is in excellent shape, everything was very well organized and the staff were cheerful and helpful (with the exception of the halfway house server who needs a refresher on customer service basics) I definitely would go back again.

I recently played lion head masters course and was not impressed. The bunkers were not edged, the fairways and tee decks were not cut that morning, the greens were covered in ball marks that had not been fixed or marks that people have poorly fixed. Just the overall condition of the course gives you the impression that it is not maintained the way you would expect a course like lion head to be maintained. Especially with how expensive it is. The pace of play was horrible as the group ahead was very slow and there was not 1 marshal or even a starter. Luckily we booked through golf now and only payed $70 but still, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't pay more then $40 to play this course again. What really disturbs me is that the weekend rate with a cart is $175...... I'll end this review with that insane price of information.
