Lowville Golf Club

Course is picturesque and has nice playing layout. Some construction but not too intrusive. Staff were friendly and it was good to see marshall around monitoring play.

Great Course Conditions. Hole #13 under repair, So u take an automatic 2 on mock green. But should be up and running soon. 2nd Cut and fescue tough...try and keep it in play or else will be tough to find the ball. Greens are in good condition.

There are few holes are under maintenance and the course should have closed until it is fully open for 18 holes

The front 9 at Lowville are an attractive and fun set of holes to play.

The back 9 seem to have poorer maintenance and significant construction.

In addition the drink cart should come around more often

A decent course but not fantastic

To be fair, please note my threesome apparently started right after last group of a tournament. Marshall did drag one golfer off course around the 8th hole for either driving about 400 yds on golf cart in reverse, or for being smashed. Group ahead of us was slow (one hole open ahead of them for entire back 9 - I assume because the drunks got kicked off). Finally, i found it a bit upsetting that the 14th or 15th hole had a shabby temp green located on fairway, and that the course website, GolfNow, the starter and the pro shop didnt let us know. The course was fairly challenging however, and quite scenic, however, i wouldn't feel confident in recommending this course to anyone.

I played the course on a Thursday afternoon. I arrived an hour early. After stopping for lunch in the clubhouse ( 10..00 for a pre-packaged Tuna sandwich and sport water!) I proceeded to check in. A young lady checked me in and after finding my time and reading the HOT DEAL sheet went to another staff member. She said something to him about the cart. The hot deal included the cart and he mumbled about "We never include a cart in Hot Deals" After reading my reservation, he said give him a cart and i'll have to call Golf NOW!

Definitely NOT the best way to handle the situation, especially in light of wanting a golfer to return and feel welcome. I do understand that HOT deals don't provide the regular rate of return for the course, however, in light of the light play that day, it was better than having no income.

After leaving the club house a little more than put off, i grabbed my clubs and proceeded to the starters area and picked up my cart.

Both Starters were super friendly and suggested that if I was alone, (I was) that there was no need to wait the extra hour before my tee time. The Tee was free and clear and could tee off any time I was ready!

The score card on the cart was used from the previous players. No problem as they usually have scorecards in a box at the first tee.

The box was empty so I made do with the used card and tee'd off.

The round took approximately 3 hours and would have taken less time except I caught up to a two some on the back nine that figured they need 2 mulligans each on every tee and had no intention of letting anybody through.....

Staff on the course were super friendly, except the cart staff that seem to drive up at the most in-opportune moments.... Putting, teeing off it didn't matter she made everyone on the course aware that she was there driving her noisy cart regardless of what was going on around her.

After my stale sandwich and 4 dollar sports water in the club house I wasn't prepared to spend anymore money on an inflated menu.

The course has added a new extremely large irrigation pond on the back side to improve drainage. It is the primary reason for the temporary green and almost unplayable hole. The left side of the fairway has been torn up and sprayed with liquid grass seed to help but he area is roped off and I would be surprised if it is playable (fairway) before the end of the season.

While the round provided value for my HOT Deal, I will not return at any price based on the attitude of the Pro shop staff member and the cart issue.

I have played the course many times and at regular rates, however, there are many more courses that provide much better overall experience and will not subject the paying golfer to a challenge on something as silly as a cart!

Some improvements being made to the course which necessitated a temporary green, but overall the corse was in excellent shape. First cut could be a little shorter.Would certainly play there again & would certainly recommend to fellow golfers.

Very little (if any) savings using golfnow, but the course was fine.

Experienced physical assault and racial abuse. Staff didn't seem to care and said they were helpless. We were assured to get a call back in 48 hrs and it is more than 72 hrs and no response. By remaining silent, they are condoning and even promoting such behavior which has no place in Canada let alone on a golf course. Will make sure all my fiends and family never go to this course.

Went to the course with a friend, some guest on the course got abusive with Racial remarks and physical threats. Complained to staff at clubhouse and left the course immediately and promised myself never to return again. Still waiting to hear from Staff as to what actions have they taken against abusive guest on there property. People like these should be banned from the Golf Course entirely as this kind of conduct is not acceptable in any form of sports.

Challenging course - well maintained. There are a couple of holes curently under construction with one temporary green. Unfortunately, the temporary green is 100 yds short of the green under construction with no guidance as to the distance to the temporary green. 2 of the 4 in our group overshot the temporary green.
Very hilly course - I would reccommend using a cart.

Perched on the Niagara Escarpment, Lowville has wonderful views from its rolling 18 holes. Long par-4's & challenging par-3's make it an enjoyable round.

Lots of undulation, great views, fast greens, a little slow pace of play, take a cart don't walk

Highly recommended , can't wait to come back!! Staff were friendly and provided great tips on selected holes.

It took over five and a half hours to play. There were players hitting 3 balls at a time, foursomes splitting up into twosomes. It was a very painful round.

Staff should let the customer know that there is a tournament happening.

The Marshals should as encourage everyone to watch the pace of play.

Lot of course repairs underway with temporary green.

2 holes shortened-discount at least!!
greens were slow and bumpy.

The fairway on this course wasn't very well maintained (maybe difficult to do, since it's on the side of the escarpment). Parts of the fairways were almost like playing out of the rough (or weeds). Bunkers also had WAY too much sand in them.
Tee times were overbooked. Waits were 5-10 minutes for each tee and fairway shot. It was a long weekend, granted, but tee times every 8 minutes on a challenging course makes for a long round.
I had no issues with the construction. Glad the facility is making the necessary upgrades. Temporary green (14th) and shortened hole (18th) weren't issues to me. Both of these holes will be spectacular once completed.
If the tee times were more spaced out and maintenance crews paid more attention to the holes that weren't under construction, I would recommend this facility.
Will try again after construction. Having those holes open might space the groups out a bit more. Plenty of other good courses in the area. Will try those before returning to Lowville.

Two holes under construction. This was not called to my attention at time of booking. The temporary green on #14 is a joke. Wait until all the construction is completed before playing this course.
