Royal Ontario Golf Club

Course in great shape

group in front should not have been on vorse

players below 16 handicapp should not play here

This golf course is very wet and full of mosquitoes at this time

Spent my bday here and had a perfect time. Got rained out on the 18th hole but that didn't spoil the great round. Course is immaculate , staff is friendly , carts have gps, we love that. Greens were delicious, pace of play was solid. All in all just a great day! I will def be coming back.

This course is notorious for slow play. They only allow five minutes between each foursome, which is ridiculous. If you’re playing here be prepared for five hours plus

Arrived early for my round of golf on the hot day. Staff were great and went out of their way to be helpful. Used the putting green, sand trap and pitching area before starting my golf day. Course was in great shape and greens were fast. Course runs through rolling hills which made the round enjoyable. Loved the course layout. Great golf day

We really enjoyed our experience!! Staff and all personnel very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely play here again. Course in beautiful condition.

The course rating is a 1 star, but I preface this by saying that it was 1 star on the day we played. Overall the course is beautiful, scenic, well-maintained - a great track; however, there were 2 incidents that occurred while we were playing which resulted in my 1 star rating. My concerns are twofold: one, on hole 13 (blind dog leg to the right), I checked if the group in front was gone, there was no one on the green, I hit my shot and when I came around the dog leg, there was a young child of 2 or 3 years of age, running around the green and playing with the pin. We were shocked, first at the possibility that I could have hit the child and second, that there even was a child on the course. We called the pro shop and they sent out a marshall, who said he didn't see a child. However, he did return to us a 2nd time and confirmed there was a very young child in the group. Course policies say max 2 persons per cart (there was a child sitting on the driver's lap, unsecured - meaning 3 persons were on a cart), also every player must have clubs, this child did not have clubs (of course he/she was too young to even know what golf is). The second incident occurred on the 18th hole when we ended up backed-up by 4 groups because a wedding group was taking photos, not on the green, but halfway down the fairway. No one could hit. As a longtime golfer, I have never witnessed something like this. Usually a green photo, but never halfway up the fairway, backing up 4 groups of golfers. Unacceptable. Both of these incidents were concerning, particularly the one that saw a 2-3 year old running amok on the greens. To also be clear, we are not looking for anything regarding these matters, but felt it important to bring these to the attention of Royal Ontario and Kaneff.

We had a 12:20 tee time which was booked nearly 1 month in advance, We arrived to the pro shop to check in at 12:00. The staff member kept correcting us and saying no your tee time is 11:50, it's 11:50 in my system etc.

I explained that I was certain it was 12:20 and asked what we were going to do to resolve it. He suggested that we play following a tournament at 1:10pm. We had to wait for every single shot, the marshall only drove through when we hit hole 14.

We only left the course at 6pm.

This is really unfortunate because the course condition was excellent, it was a fun course to play. However evey other aspect was offputting and hugely impacted my experience here.

I think what happened is we were double booked with the tournament and they decided to screw us over, I never even received a phone call about the new time or anything. I would have happily came earlier if that was an option provided to me. There was zero apologetic nature from the guy working in the pro shop, he just double and tripled down on "it's 11:50 in my system"

Not impressed.

Course was in great condition given the recent heat wave. Only complaint was that the greens were too slow. Crew does not know how to groom bunkers. All of the sand has been raked to the top/edges leaving no sand in the bottom.

I would not reccomend at the current $145 price or $125 afternoon rate. Try Cosswinds especially if you are a senior as rates with cart are under $80 with taxes.
