Lowville Golf Club

Do due to the horrific winter, course conditions were generally poor. A number of greens were severely damaged. Three holes had temporary greens, but was not mentioned by the starter. A number of Tee Boxes had been moved up...yardage was uncertain. Fairways also experienced a fair amount of winter kill. Hopefully, the course conditions will improve by mid summer.

greens suffered lot of winter damage. Three temporary greens and rest all have damage that makes putting difficult. Other than that, course is good . Just wait until summer when greens get in better shape.

They should have set up the entire course to be played from temporary greens.

Advised of 3 temp. greens only after payment was made. Greens, tee boxes, and fairwaiys have considerable winter burn throughout 18 holes. Would have liked a heads up at time of booking in regards to course condition. Pace of play was excellent....completed 18 holes in just over 3 hours. Course is in brutal shape and would not recommend playing until late in the season. Food & bev staff was great.

I would normally recommend this course, however I will not be playing it any time soon due to the conditions of the greens.. This course usually has excellent and fast greens. Currently the greens are in poor shape with 3 temporary greens. This may be due to the harsh winter we had this year. I have date stamped the Review Title so that it is clear that this is not a normal state for this course.

Normally a good course to play on. Bad winters affected the course.

Every time this course has some maintenance issues that couldn't play 18 holes.
Same as yesterday front nine closed due to maintenance.
So couldn't play due to golfers lined up to play back9 twice.

Normally love this course and have played before, but disappointed this time - when we arrived, found out that there were only 9 holes playable, and this was not disclosed on golfnow.com when the booking was made - course was in poor shape with airated greens - feel that disclosure of the course conditions should have been provided - rating provided is specific to this particular day, not overall, as mentioned, prior to this particular date of play, would rate the course as excellent

Tarps beside the greens, greens unplayable, fairway not identifiable from the rough.

Don't bring anything but your "A game" for this pretty and challenging test of skill and nerve! Nestled on the edge of the Niagara escarpment, Lowville is a course full of undulating greens, elevation changes and beautiful vistas! At no point on the course can you allow your attention to lapse, and so this all makes for a great day of golf! Totally worth the drive whether you're a beginner or a scratch golfer! :)

The day I played, the course was very wet with a lot of leafs on the ground and the rough was a little too long making it difficult to find your golf ball. Would enjoy playing this course under better conditions

Good value, fair way in good condition as well as the green

Would like to play this course in warmer, calmer weather as we had to pack it in after nine holes due to the cold and wind.
Although not long from forward tees, each hole has its challenges. Cart path rule gave us our exercise just getting to our balls. This was only in effect due to the soggy conditions. The staff were super friendly and there were some great deals in the pro shop which I definitely took advantage of. We got a rain check for the cart for nine holes which was nice. I will definitely go back again. The greens were running true and were tricky due to their sloping nature. Unless you are in great shape, this course requires a cart!

This is a very challenging golf course, quite hilly and some greens seemed short with steep slopes. Your accuracy is tested every time. Although the course is maintained, they could have done a better job keeping the tee box in good shape. Anyway, it is a great golf course for above averages players.

The marshal always push," quickly! quickly!" it is golf not a running race. Never play there again.

The course was in good condition and even though we followed a tournament, play was fairly well paced. I liked the view, the terrain and the overall feel. It plays a bit more difficult than the slope rating would suggest given the ups and downs on the mountain. Overall very happy with it and will play it again.

Overall I will go back there again. The setting is awesome

First time played. Very impressed with the course by all standards. Extremely challenging from the back tees. The only negative thing I can say about the course is there were no information available about the pin placements and all flags were yellow, so we had to guess a lot.

On an incline ,which would present a challenge to the mature folks,although I like to walk ,this is definitely not the one to do it on.The backdrop is pictureques and the staff vry helpful..all you need is a nice day.!!

Love the course but was let down when I played just once this season to see that green fees were the regular price and the course was in bad shape. Mind you it was May. Course went through huge construction and I was not told about it when booking. Temporary greens, makeshift tee boxes and a lot of mud. Will not play again in 2013. Hopefully by the end of the season everything is back to normal and I look forward to playing again. Green fees are just too expensive to not have great conditions.
