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.

Nice Course
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.
An afternoon At the Royal Ontario Golf club.
Coarse was in reasonable good shape. Some of the bunkers didn't have enough sand in them. The greens were a little bit torn up probably from traffic and there were the remains of other golfers not repairing there divots. On a whole the coarse is a good challenge for your game and requires coarse management and not just the long ball. I would and have recommended this coarse to anybody.
tough greens
The course was in great shape and really tough to score on. The eleventh green pin placement was diabolical. Overall a great outing that leaves you wanting another chance to play it
Round too long
The course did not have a single marshall out. Several groups were very slow. Round ended up being 5:15, way too long! I have found this with all Kaneff courses on the weekends.
Great course
Practice your putting before, practice your putting before,, hope I am clear !!! Enjoy
Five and a half hour round!
No starter was present and the only marshal we saw appeared to spend his afternoon searching for lost balls. Greens were quick but beaten up by tournament play. Fairways and bunkers were well kept. Water hazard margins are overgrown with cattails and not clearly visible from the tees. This along with undulating and dog-legged fairways yield a course where a GPS is a necessity. Practice range was closed. Design was quite interesting. This could be a lot better course with a few management tweaks.
Didn't meet expectations
Layout was nice, but greens and fairways were in rough condition. Practice facilities were so-so. Sand bunker practice area has been completely neglected. But this course gets a mulligan with me due to a very busy tee sheet and a harsh winter.
Course management
A great course to challenge you in ball placement, a definite second round will change your risk/reward shots!
Narrow fairways and lots of out of bounds to shot over
The course was beyond our expertise, we shot about 100. Found fairways too narrow for our game level and too many obstructions going across the fairway that you needed to shot over, greens were very undulating , 1 puts were rare, rained day before so sand bunkers were not really sand but powdery clay material, sand wedge could not get under the ball.. It just bounced off the hard surface creating a skull most times.
Challenging but fun
course is challenging but a lot of fun.
Play from blue tee is much longer than white, some holes need strategic long drive to hit the safe landing pad. Par 5 9, 18 hole are pretty, long, with a big pond along the fair way, with elevated greens. drive, 2nd shot have to be long and accurate to make a possible birdie chance..
Very scenic golf course
This course will challenge any level of golfer. Every hole is unique. You never feel that you are playing the same version of a previous hole. The 9th and 18th holes are two of the best finishing holes that I have ever played.

Great course but very tight and lots of hazards, better for experienced golfers.
No Food /Bev cart
The course was busy but moving well at 4pm. Saw the cart girl on hole 2. That was it!! It was hot, needed some energy and a drink, figured she had to be around soon... at about 12th hole, game fell apart. 120 a round and no cart girl???? Whats with that?
Great course
Nice challenging course with some very narrow fairways, pack some extra balls. The greens were fast, had to really tune down my shots on the green.
Tough but fair
The course was in excellent conditions. The greens were also excellent, fast and true. We found the sand in the traps inconsistent and none of the tee boxes had the markers in place. These are only minor annoyances. For first time players, definitely invest in the yardage and layout book. It will save you from surprises.
challenging tight fairways, large true greens
In this parkland setting many holes have tree lined fairways tight to the hole. Also the open holes have ponds. Placement of you drive is crucial in low score. On the par fives the second shot to the fairway to be in range for the elevated greens is very narrow. I enjoy coming back to this course because it makes me think of the shot, plan where you want it to land. When it is executed it is very rewarding.
The greens are slightly undulating but true to read, all the same speed, hats off to the greens keepers.
Very nice course.
tough track
pay attention to the scorecard and where the trouble is...any local knowledge is welcome...stay below the hole
