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.

Sunday Too Slow

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.

Wish I played better

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

A great day!

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.

Not a $175 round of golf

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.

Too many tournaments, capable of much more

This layout is very nice and challenging. There's always an issue with the front staff. They aren't friendly at all. The couse has so much potential. The greens are slow and could be much faster. Pace of play is 5hrs no matter how you slice it.

Overall very nice

Club selection is important due to the number of dog legs. Greens maintenance could be better, but players should fix their ball marks more often!!!!! Overall a very nice course!

Can't get their act together

We were scheduled to play about 4 pm, but we were delayed by over an hour because a tournament was "late". They decided to send the late afternoon tee times as a shotgun start. This was a good approach but the execution was horrible. If they had taken the time to organize the remaining players as they would a shotgun tournament, it would have been fine. Instead they told players where they would start, which led to several groups ending up on the same tee. This in turn forced players to drive around to find an empty tee box. The response of the staff was "not my problem". This course used to have very good service, but it has slipped significantly so lower your expectations.

Not worth the money

I used to play here quite often but over the years it is progressively getting worse. It aspires to be a high end course but you can't put lipstick on a pig. The staff is really young and don't really know how to deal with complaints. They over book the masters course and it took almost 3.5 hours to play 9. It was so bad that we switched over to the legends course mid round. All in all there are too many other golf course choices that are often less expensive and much less stressful. I'm done with this place and will not play here again.

great deal on lovely course

Can't go wrong for a pleasurable day of golf at Lionhead !
Great deal included BBQ chicken and ribs. However, meats did lack flavour.
Had not played here for a few years and amazed at new home construction around the course but does not encroach on course.

Great day at Lion Head

Course was in fantastic condition. Even had the pleasure of playing behind Mr Kaneef himself. Either he was giving away free golf balls or he lost a bunch. Lol

No worth it

At $55 plus tax worth it because it's a nice course but pace of play is 5+ hours and not worth the pain if you have played it before. No marshals to try and speed up play. Cart girl went home at 7pm. Teed off at 3:50. Finished at 9:15.

Best public course in Ontario

We were very impressed with our overall experience at Lionhead. We played the Masters and found it to be challenging, interesting, beautiful and in great condition. We'll definitely be back again.
