Royal Ontario Golf Club

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.

Is one of the fist courses open this season and is in good conditions after winter.

only got to play 16 holes before it rain but it was well worth it

This is a nice course with a good layout. For late in the season the course was in pretty good shape - especially the sand traps. Regular price is way too much - good value on GolfNow.

Cold, wet, leaves everywhere. Lost a ball after driving it down the middle of the fairway but what can I expect with leaves everywhere. Had the course to myself. Nice layout, but some tough blind shots. Greens were recently aerated and fairways were all chewed up, but again, what can I expect being late in the season. Was just happy to squeeze in a round on what seems to be a nice course when its not raining with 50 km/hr winds. Surprisingly shot well despite the conditions...go figure. Would never pay the regular green fees but got a great deal on golf now so overall I was happy with the experience. Nice clubhouse, friendly staff. Will give it another shot come spring.

Typical fall weather, little rain, lots of leaves and some aeration of greeens; but lucky it was very warm day. Course was still in good shape although greens needed a cut.

course beatiful and grat to play.
staff does not friendly to hot deal customer.
I exprienced today that;
when We arrived earlier than our time, proshop said we have to wait till on time because many plyer waiting. and starter said proshop order to hold us till on time. Only after another golfer start earlier than 30 min, proshp let us play but starter follow us at 1st green ask us go back to 1st tee and wait till on time. he hasitate appology us even recieved information from ptoshop. they very rude and impolite very much

There is no way this place is worth the $120/round that is posted on their website. Overall the course was in ok shape. Fairways and greens were good, greens were hard, and chewed up (it is the fall though) and the sand traps were in good shape.

Worst part about this course was how slow the pace of play was. We finished the round over the 5 hour mark, and it took us 3 hours just to finish the front 9. The course was clearly packing in as many people as possible to get their last few dollars for the season......if you want to play at this course, wait until next year or your going to be waiting at every hole.

Great course but too crownded. It took me 5:45 to finish 18 holes.
The washroom outside at nine hole is dirty. Was not clean for many days.

Although, not the best public course in the area (crosswinds, pipers) it still can hold it's own. Some really tight fairways and elevation changes along with some very undulating greens make royal Ontario a true test of ones golfing abilities. A negative at this time of year are the greens which were pretty chewed up on some holes. Other than that, a great day at royal Ontario!

Played with a friend from Michigan .. we both very much like the course.
We would definitely play again!

The greens were in horrible shape worst greens I've played on all season

good course to play from any tees. a good test of your golfing skills.

I golf often but usually at same course. Really enjoyed this course. Very good condition.

Booked through Golfnow.com as a single player. I was paired up with another person who also had the same type of booking. There was no starter to control the T box; many groups who started at 10 turned up at first T to continue their game. There was a big line up so we went to the pro shop to report the matter as well to ask whether an we also start from 10. They said we can't start at 10 and asked us to go back 1 and wait ; somebody will be there shortly to control the situation. Nobody turned up after even after 10 minutes. By then we had very well passed our booked T time. Seeing our miserable condition one of the foursome groups waiting there was nice enough to let us go in front of them . So we started our game. Fairways were nicely maintained but some of the greens were no up this clubs standard. Expected more professionalism for sure. The cart given to us ran out of battery power at hole 18. We had to push the cart uphill to the cart return area.

First time playing RO, I had heard a lot of good things about the course.
The course is a little untidy (rough, fringe, 1st cut un kept etc) and the greens need some work but I very much enjoyed playing here. Would not pay full price mind you.

will be back!

Just an all around great course. Challenging but Fair!

Friendly staff on a well maintained course with lots of trouble if you're in the wrong place. Overall, a fair but challenging test. We plan on playing there again soon.

My score did not reflect my enjoyment of the course. I wandered into the rough way too often and paid the price. The scenery is lovely, and the course is mostly flat, but shot placement is important.

Very nice course, and well maintained, but greens need a bit of work. Overall with the golf now discount, it was a great deal. Definitely not worth paying the regular price of $120/person. Course was fairly slow. No one on for a while, so my group went on a half an hour early, after hitting a bucket at the driving range. Marshall came chasing us towards the end of the first hole to complain that it was not our proper tee off time. Hardly any golfers there. I understand if course is somewhat busy, but not when really slow.
