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.

Very disappointing
The crew cutting grass 50-100 yards behind us on every shot
No respect for the players
Very disappointed
- made effort to complain to management because I just had to leave after 16holes (9holes of lawn movers)
Managers comment: it is out of my control..
Cart
I arrived and was well received at the club house and was asked to sign a waiver for the use of the cart and after I signed I was given a credit, all was well until I got to the 1st tee and was approached by the starter who asked me actually rudely to return my cart and share with a total stranger. I objected to the ask and I informed him I don't want to ride with a total stranger who's a smoker (he had a lit cig) and the starters response was "I don't care, if I want to ride alone I should pay for the cart" . I was very suprised by this and after going tothe club house to pay for a cart while my confirmation clearly states cart included. You need to warn customers about this changes.
Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and Putting surface was in great condition and based on your putting rolled very well. Played only 9 holes , wish it was back Nine instead.
Not a straightforward layout
For someone playing this course for the first time, there are too many holes that feel a bit like a gimmick. Too many blind shots or little room for risk/reward on some of the shorter holes. If the best strategy is to tee off with a 9 iron on a par 4 that feels a bit too far fetched..

Sign in procedure to rent a cart is terrible. No cell service in the pro shop. Needed the email address and Gave us the wrong password twice for the wifi. Fellow behind the counter tried his best to help us out but all 4 of us had to sign in and wasted alot of time. Starter at the first tee was a nice fellow and apologized for the inconvenience. Course is very tough but 4:45 was very slow and the slow group in front of us let us through on #11. Could have easily been 5:30 min. Expected better for $140. Our group will not be back!!
First timer.
This course is not for the faint at heart. Riddled with challenging holes from bunkers to water hazards and high fescue. I challenge you not to lose a ball or two.
Unfortunately, it was cart-path only which definitely affected the pace of play.
Mind you, at this time of year not very surprising.
Staff were great. Putting, chipping, and driving range are all in good condition and well paced.
