No challenge was overlooked in this brilliant Michael Hurdzan design. The 76 bunkers and water on every hole will keep your full attention on the game. The rewards are great and Royal Woodbine's beautifully conditioned fairways and greens make this championship course a real pleasure to play. Just minutes from downtown Toronto on the Mimico Creek Valley, this is one of the area's treasures.

Flight path

A great course, although the amount of passenger planes landing at nearby airport was a little distracting

Need to put expensive green fees back into course

Course layout is exactly how I remembered it from last play about 12 years ago which was greally aND wit some challenging holes. Lots of strategy requipped to get around safely. Unfortunately little is being spent on course maintenance. I can understand keeping the greens a little long, due to the recent heat wave however, the grass wasn't manicured at all. Grass and weeds growing in the bunkers. Don't know how because the bunkers were hard a cement. Too bad they don't put their expensive green fees back into course maintenance. Not to mentioned the halfway house closed early leaving us without food. We were told that the cart girl had sandwiches but she didn't.

Play it at least 1x/year

Interesting track. If it weren't for the planes overhead you'd never know you were in the city

Best stop I ever made on the way to the airport

I played on the way out of town on a beautiful, hot day. The staff looked after my luggage, and let me use the locker room to freshen up after I finished. I even got to play with a part time marshal named Sven, who knew the course like the back of his hand. He couldn't cure my nasty pulls, but I appreciated his knowledge. It was my third time playing the course, and the conditions were consistent. The greens were well kept, and the holes were crisply cut. So important for those putts that are fading away from the cup. I love golfing in Canada. I always meet interesting and friendly people, Royal Woodbine was a blast all three times. Thank you.

Bring lots of balls

This course was not designed well, unless you enjoy losing a lot of balls. Balls driven straight down the fairway, lost in the water. Miss the fairway, lost in the woods. If you can't hit a patch of grass that's 30y by 30y every shot, you will lose a lot of balls. Also, because everyone looses so many balls, the course plays really slow, took over 5 hours to play 18. People are searching for lost balls and wasting a lot of time.

SLOW

Pace of play was extraordinarily slow for a Tuesday morning! We waited on every hole for every shot. There were 2 groups waiting on one tee deck at one point. There were no marshals anywhere to help regulate the pace of play. The halfway hut wasn't open and the refreshment cart met us on the 2nd and 18th hole - NOT HELPFUL when you play an epically long round!

The course itself was in good condition. I've played this course many times before and this experience was sooo bad, I won't likely be back in a long time.

Tight but playable

Good course near the airport. Follows a small drainage, tight driving course, lots of trees and hazards, fun to play layout, greens average size and speed, overall good conditions. Area has had a lot of rain this year so a few boggy spots.

Slowest round ever

Never ended up finishing the last 3 holes. It was 5.5 hours with no end in site. The marshal was nice and friendly but the only excuse for the slow play was they were busy. Won't be playing there again.

Challenging course close to city (actually in city westend)

Course for the most part is narrow, up 1 side of Humber River tributary & back down the other side, so lots of water involved , very pretty course & you would think you were much further north in country except for low flying jets landing at Pearson, this is only really a distraction on the start & finish of your round! (not too much though) The course itself requires accuracy & can be unforgiving. Very good mix of holes , hazards, whether part 3,4,5 part. The bunkers (sand ) are for the most part in poor shape , this is my only complaint! Otherwise the course on the whole , greens, fairways & tees very well kept! Cart girls , bathrooms & beer hut available with food on course. The restaurant at the clubhouse has excellent food & variety! All this makes a round here very enjoyable.
