Course Highlights
Fairways and greens consistently arrive in excellent shape, with putting surfaces rolling smoothly and the layout delivering a genuinely challenging, rewarding round. The course features water hazards, bunkers, and fescue that keep experienced golfers engaged across all 18 holes.

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.

Tough as nails

Great course, hadn't played it in years but I am glad I gave it another go. The elements were too much that day as the wind was too much too handle on this very tight course.

Course has great potential, good layout with good challenging holes. Slow play is a problem.

Course has a great layout with many challenging holes. I would play more often if the speed of play was better.. On 4 occasions, took 5 hours plus to play. On 1 occasion, it took 31/2 hours because we had the first tee time for the day.
