Royal Woodbine Golf Club

Perfect day. Course waa in great shape. Everybody stayed a safe distance. Too bad it was limited refreshments and no food, but, a great day out nonetheless..

The main reason I play this course often is because of the central location. There are not too many course options within the city of Toronto. The course is very tight, so if you struggle off the tee, plan on losing lots of balls. However, there are some beautiful holes on this course. Pace of play can be slow if the groups ahead of you can't get off of the blocks, or if they aren't familiar with the course. I've come to really enjoy playing it once you get to know the nuances.

This is a great course to play in a very convenient location. With easy access just off the highway, close to the airport and nearby hotels, it's a great way to spend your layover, unwind after a hectic day at work, or meet up with friends. The grounds are well kept, and the course is tight which makes it challenging. There are a lot of water hazards, so if you're a hack golfer like me bring a few extra balls. The staff are always pleasant. Food in the clubhouse is good, and there's a decent patio to enjoy a cold round after a game.

A really good course for players of all skill levels. Uses all the clubs in your bag.

And if you get bored, you can always watch the planes landing.

Waiting minutes on every shot. If you like that then this is the course for you!!

They overbook tee times. There was one hole with 3 groups on the tee box yet to tee off!! 3+hours to play 9 holes. Impossible to finish if you start after work.

Checked their website before booking for course condition no mention of issues. Got there to find out all greens were plugged and sanded and not cut. Hate it when the course doesn’t let you know. Also several fairways were plugged and several in rough shape.

Probably will not return without getting reliable opinion on condition. Many courses around in better shape and less expensive.

I have always enjoyed playing Royal Woodbine since it is quite cleverly laid out and always well maintained. The practice green was sanded so I got no opportunity to do any putting prior to my round. Still I managed a 43/42 but with 39 putts off the whites. A good score for me at 73 years of age.

A wonderful, challenging golf course for those who can control the ball.

Sincerely,

Mike

Good experience all round. Tight and challenging layout. Par 5s are short, with high risks on second shots. Greens were true and good, just a pity that some many pitch marks not repaired by other golfers. Only real concern is quality of bunkers, with grass and weeds growing in bunkers.

Overall well maintained, some challenging holes and greens, large variety of setting.

Only bad point is airport proximity : avoid pick traffic times.

The course is really good condition for late season

Pace of play was perfect. Greens ran very true. The staff was well organized and great to deal with. !

You can't really walk 9 holes here very easily as the 9th hole ends furthest spot away form the clubhouse. Very true out and back type set up. Lots of twists and turns and little streams cutting thru the course. I was spraying the ball off the tee a bit and that didn't help my experience as it was a bit tight.

Fairways aren't too tight but not much rough and room to miss. I blew thru some doglegs just not knowing the distance or where to hit it first time playing.

Tons of bugs, not like bees or horseflies but little fruit flies that I was wiping off my face and shirt like 8 to 12 at a time so kind of annoying. Planes flying right over the course was kind of cool and unique and the clubhouse looks like a cool spot. I'd go try it, for sure not like a stay away it's in a great area close to everyone but I just need to hit 5 iron off the tee all round to keep things in play. Or get better but, that hasn't been working.

Course is in great shape, greens rolled well and fairways were in great shape.

I really enjoy this course.
