Royal Woodbine Golf Club

Rough way too rough. Dangerous...lots of sharp plants even alongside the pathways from the tees
Needs to be cut way down...does not come into play...no need for the rough height

this is not a course for novice golfers but very challenging for good golfers too

Everything was great except the heat and the staff accusing us of hitting golf balls into the parking lot on the last hole... Really left a sour taste in our mouths... Probably won't go back which is a pity. :(

Course in good shape. Challenging which slowed the pace of play in front of us.

Cart service good (except being overcharged).

All in all a bargain.

Course was in good conditions greens were very nice. Pace of play was slow and we had to wait on almost every hole. The condition of some of the bunkers was less than acceptable but I did notice that they were adding sand to several. The biggest issue with this course is the noise from the aircraft. I do not find it an issue but if you are bothered by noise this is not the course for you.

Booked on Golfnow - 8:08 am tee off

Arrived at the course and was advised all golfers teeing off at 7:45 (Shotgun) - so much for warm-up/practice time.

I suggest that the Marshall pay close attention to the players in front of two-some's in particular. My partner and I were two players while in front of us we had a four-some. Mind you no issues if the four-some would have been quicker but to finish an 18 hole course in 5 hours 15 minutes is a bit extreme. These players in front of us were taking 3 additional shots each as we were on the previous hole they were always technically 2 strokes ahead of us if they played the 1st shot. So when we arrived on the tee box they were into there 3rd shot. If they were controlled to play ONE shot they would have been on the greens instead of the tee box as we pulled in, allowing us to keep the game moving faster. Hence the Marshalls should have seen this delay play time if they were timing the players in general.

Very close to Toronto's pearson airport which is why I went there while I was waiting to fly out the next day.

Greens were decently fast with lots of undulations. Lots of unrepaired ball marks though. Tee boxes were a bit torn up and not completely flat in areas. Fairways were good.

Challenging course however. Tree lined and interesting layout for its location. I enjoyed it regardless of the mentioned cosmetic issues.

Royal Woodbine is a shorter course that requires course management off the tee and the use of the entire bag. Well placed tee shots on several holes will result in excellent birdie opportunities. Poor placed shots can easily result in bogeys. Longer par 3's make up for some of the shorter par 4's. Numerous and well placed tee blocks made the course not only enjoyable for me but also for my wife. Course conditions were excellent including quick and true greens. The only real drawback to the course is its location: directly over the flight route for Pearson Airport and surrounded by noisy industrial businesses. The course generally costs around $75 on Golf Now which is a bit expensive given its surroundings and other comparable courses within driving distance, but we played for $60 which made it a good deal and an enjoyable venue change. If you are looking for a good test of your overall game this course is one to consider.

Tight fairways. centrally located course.
Well design.
Too expensive at full rate for conditions.
GN is about right price

I don't know why I keep giving this course chances. They put people out way too often so that every time I play here it turns into a 6 hour round. The course is also in awful condition as a result of that - greens just pock marked with unrepaired ball marks.

Also, despite the fact that I was out there for 6 hours in 30 degree heat, there was no beverage cart until the 14th hole (4 hours in) and the half way house was closed.

Tough course with some distractions ( planes) but a good layout
with very good greens.

The course was good but was very slow today, maybe because it was half price and was sooo busy.

Arrived early at the golf course at 7:20 AM and dropped off bags at Drop Off. We went into the Pro Shop and confirmed our reservation (including cart). Very good price. No staff to place golf bags on our prepaid cart. Small courtesy not provided. Same issue when carts are not permitted in parking lot to return bags to car.

The course was in very good shape. This is a tight course with forced carries on Par 3s and creeks coming into play on a number of holes. The course meanders in-between low industrial buildings and residential properties. A GPS device or APP is recommended.

As we played into the mid-morning, the flights from planes departing/arriving at Pearson Airport diminished in number however, it was loud for the first 90 minutes and frequent flyovers.

Unfortunately, we played too early to get any refreshments from a beverage cart. They didn't arrive until after 11 AM. Too late for us. There are no water containers anywhere on the course.

There was very little traffic on the course so that was great. No concern for undue pressure by backed-up T-boxes. There were more players on the course as we exited the course but it was quiet.

Due to the limited space on the course, there is no practice chipping green or driving range. A driving net would be a compromise.

Really enjoyed the course, tough on a first go round, can't wait to come back, hopefully hit a few more fairways

Great course. Great location. Greens are in fantastic shape. Course requires some well placed shots, but good shots are rewarded.

Great staff, except for the head pro. A lot of marshals on the course, but they didn't do anything. A foursome ahead of us might have been the slowest group I've ever followed. Marshals were there but didn't do anything.

Not a bad course for the money if you don't mind the planes coming over your head every couple of minutes. We played as a 3 some but they put a single with us who was quite possibly the worst player we've ever been hooked up with. They let him play in jeans, (it was almost 30 degrees) so that should have been a clue. He yapped the whole round even when we were hitting. We're no snobs but between this guy losing 30 balls and his incessant jabber, the round deteriorated quickly. My buddy who had to ride with him said if this ever happens again, he'd take the guy back to the clubhouse after the first hole. Grabbed a roast beef (I think) sandwich from the cart that was the driest sorriest sandwich ever made but you don't hit the clubhouse after 9 so I was starving. Very next hole we find they have a BBQ setup that serves sausages, hot dogs etc. it would be nice if they had a sign or something.

Lots of water throughout. Lots of airplanes just landing as well....

I found the course tricky which is generally okay but there was no GPS on the carts and the sprinklers were not all marked well. The fairways and greens were good but the bunkers were very poorly maintained. The service was just okay as well. It is convenient near the airport but you do have noise from planes landing which is very very loud. I never used driver as it is a target course and very short
