About
Royal Ontario Golf Club sprawls across gentle hillsides blanketed in mature trees and thick fescue. Formerly a stable, the course features large meadows and dense groves of trees that frame the fairways and greens. The layout has a more traditional, links design that features occasional water hazards, most notably on the par-5 ninth and 18th holes that share a large lake, but the tree-covered hills are the true challenge of the golf course. Although there are many difficult elements on this course, five sets of tees make it accessible for players of all skill levels. Royal Ontario Golf Club is often compared to the Masters Course at Lionhead Golf & Country Club.

Enjoyable round, terrible service
I agree with the general consensus about slow rounds here as ours took close to 5 hrs. Conditions were better than average, greens played fast and true. I am not one to complain, but what happened to me is truly incompetent. BOTH cart girls had malfunctioning debit/credit machines. I left my visa with one of the girls as she promised to see me before my round ended and if not, would leave it at the pro shop. After the round, I proceeded to wait for 40 minutes with the staff trying to locate Erin and my visa. Radio didn't work, even text messages. To my dismay, after the debacle and after I finally had my visa returned, there was hardly an apology from the staff. I feel as if i should bill royal ontario for the 407 bill i am going to receive for taking it when the 40 minutes i lost would have been prevented by having a proper working debit/credit machine.
Great course. Still expensive
It's a really nice track and well maintained. However I found it worth I paid on GolfNow but not the full $100 tag through the Kaneff web site. Will try your play again
Out of our way ' but worth the drive .. Great course
Will be back for sure . The course was in great shape
Good challenge
Good challenge. Nice layout. Very slow pace. Over 5.5 hrs to play. Very crammed plus tourneys.
SLOOOOOOOOOOOO Pace, and why have Marshals?
Very close to a five hour round round on Sunday. The foursome ahead of us ended up about 2 holes behind. We asked the Marshals (2 different ones) if they could go speak with them. The Marshals were looking for golf balls when we came upon each one. So in the back nine we phoned the pro shop, and a Marshal came up to us and told us he spoke with them, but did he follow them to ensure they listened? Apparently not because they were conducting the same antics again. Where it said cart path only, they ignored that rule, and they parked beside the green right next to the hole, not on the sidewalk, they spent forever to look for balls, they took an average of 6 to 7 shots off the tee on almost every hole. The 2 groups behind us said they would never come back. Very bad experience!
Golf should not be stressful game like at work at times, and when you golf it should flow, but not like here you feel like your stuck in rush hour on the 401!
Great shape!
The pro shop and staff were great. We flew around in 4 hours withy no trouble. The course was well maintained as well.
Royal Ontario G&CC
Not a bad course at all and good friendly staff. Enjoyed my rounds and will come back again.
Just alright
Pace was a little slow, but conditions were decent.
This course was in good condition
The course was in great conditions especially the greens pace of play was a bit slow staff were great overall very good experience
great course
good day, good company, excellent greens and fairways.
3 club course.
Beautiful, great grounds & facilities. As a full course though, I'd expect to use most of the clubs in my bag. I could have shot an 82 on this course using my 3wood, PW & putter. I'd drive.....wedge in. Drive.....wedge in. Only one par 3 needed a club longer than a PW, a 7 iron. Only timeout left my bag.
Challenges are plentiful !
Great course for mid - low handicaps. I found the course to be in very good condition for spring golf. Greens in particular were very fair for this time of the year. Look forward to returning when it warms up!
Cart died after 15 holes
Course is always in decent shape and runs smoothly. However, the most recent time I played there the cart died after 15 holes and we had to push it with our other cart and friends. Was provided refund for the cart rental but with the effort and inconvenience of the issue I don't feel we got our fees worth that day.
Masters Day
Had a wonderful Masters Sunday on the coarse. Weather was great, company fun, and the coarse challenging. Great shape for this early. The rounded ended with two beer and the last 4 holes of the masters in the club house.
Love when a plan comes together.
Early season review
Played in 50km/h wind. Heavy rain the night before caused standing water in areas, but in general the course drained very well. Greens were completely dry and somewhat sandy from topdressing in the fall. One major letdown for a course that charges premium pricing and forces you to ride is that the cart paths are in VERY poor shape, and our cart ran out of juice on the 12th hole. Inexcusable considering the cart was taken right out of the pen. This time of year, if you can catch a deal it's worth it but come the summer months Royal Ontario is known to be unplayable due to 6+ hour rounds in the afternoons and weekends.
Great Conditions considering time of year
Played April 6th. Greens were sprayed/cut/rolled day of. Greens didnt have a rough winter at all and will be excellent once summers rolls around. Course had great conditions considering time of year.
