Rating 70.7

Tucked away in the scenic Niagara Escarpment, Lowville Golf Club offers scenic views of the greater Toronto area. The layout blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a picturesque golf setting that the Toronto Star's "Bogey Man" has touted as the most scenic in the area. The golf course has also received top honors from the same publication as the most improved club. This challenging, 18-hole course features several downhill tee shots that can really carry, making it a fun course for long hitters. Lowville Golf Club's 12th hole is notably entertaining. It is a long par-5 that requires a long carry off the tee to a tricky green.

Course under repair

The course is in good condition. However they are rebuilding the pond beside the 15th so you can't play the 15th and 18th as they have made hem temporary shortened holes.

good course for the money

we played and it was cart path only and at the start of the season that's normal but this is not a course you want to do much walking on as it is very hilly. i strongly recommend taking a cart. the course was very well maintained considering its that start of the year the greens were lighting fast. they are doing a huge renovation of the 14th and 18th hole and this pretty much makes 4 of the last 9 holes par 3s and the 14th isent even a hole its a 65 yard chip to a fake green. but being that said still a strong value for your money the staff is very friendly and the beers are cold. hope everyone hes a good round

DISAPOINTING

I'VE PLAYED LOWVILLE EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS OR SO AND EVERY SPRING(USUALLY APRIL OR EARLY MAY) IT'S BEEN GREAT. RIGHT NOW THE COURSE IS REBUILDING A COUPLE OF HOLES ON THE BACK NINE AND THE COURSE IS TERRIBLE. I'LL GO PLAY AGAIN BUT NOT UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION FINISHED. WOULDN'T RECCOMMEND IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

Can't complain for the price

Very early in the season so you can't expect perfect conditions but other than the few holes being renovated this course was in great condition. One heck of a walk but all in all a good experience.

too wet, disconnected drainage systems

always been a good course but was totally water logged

shouldnt be paying $50 to play a course under water, they shouldve had reduced rates that day because of the rain and course work being done on the drains.

that par 3 on the back with the fake green (no bigger than 8x10ft)was totally unacceptable

that day was worth $30 max

Under Construction

was not made aware of the construction until after we had paid. Several par 4's have been chopped into 80yd par 3's. THey basically took the ladies tee deck, put astro turf over it and stuck a pin in the middle. THe 18th hole is now a 150 yd par 3 where you hit from the fairway.......yet they still charged full pop...oh and one of the greens was still half covered by a tarp

Course wintered well but...

The course has wintered well and the greens were in great shape. Unfortunately, the course is still a work in progress from the construction of the reservoir such the 14th hole is under construction and 18 is now played as a par 3 from the 150 yd marker. The course is offering unlimited play in recognition of the above so for an early spring tune up where the goal is just to play it is not a bad option.

Lots of options out there..stay away from this one...

I have played this course a few times, but it is not well marshalled and can be slow. I did join a foursome on a Saturday and just prior to tee time, they took me out of teh foursome to put me with a single(who they also happened to take him out of a foursome) So they thought a 3-2-3 was teh way to do this? I could tell after holes this was going to be a very long day and went in the pro shop to complain. The pro said that the other four some was actually a 3 some and didn't want that single to join them so he made a 2 some. After questioning this decision making process, he said "what would you expect me to do, I didn't want to listen to him whine any more". They would not give me a credit, but offered a rain check. When I used the rain check at teh end of August, I was put with a 3 some, after 7 holes, they did the same thing. Apparently a single showed up who was supposed to golf with them (they never told me anything like this) and said I would have to go on as a single.
This place is seriously mis managed. There is alot of competition in the area for gold, so I belive you will have a better experience golfing somewhere else.

great views

Last 3 holes on back 9 are under construction
therefore course played longer, one can get a bit frustrating
especially that no info is provided regarding this issue,
and green fee should be adjusted accordingly until constructions are done,

A formerly unknown gem; it's tempting to keep it that way.

I played Lowville for the first time this fall. Although they are now under construction on the 13th/14th holes, the rest of the course was in very good condition and is very enjoyable to play. When they finish the new green on 13 it will be spectacular. It would be tempting not to write a positive review, purely to keep this little gem hidden; the price is right on GolfNow, and I see tee times regularly available. I will DEFINITELY play Lowville again.

Fun course, under renovation

Beautiful course, always in pristine condition and great fun. Normally quite busy, occasionally frustratingly so. They are reconstructing some holes and I guess we are getting into winter season so course maintenance left a bit to be desired. Gorgeous views, beautiful colors, and very well laid out!

A solid course with room for improvement

The 14th hole is under construction. It has a temporary "green" in the fairway. The pro shop did not inform us of this.
The other 17 greens are in excellent condition, and putts run true, but break severely - play more break than you see. The tricky greens are basically the only defense this course has. There is very little trouble off the tees, and few bunkers or water hazards. The par 5 holes are on the short side (all under 500 yards), but they play uphill (all 4 of them) so that adds to the challenge. All told, it's an interesting course, with spectacular scenary (if that's what you're after). It will be part of my regular rotation, but the prices are a bit steep - so wait for a deal.

Rude starter. No green on 14th hole!

Time on my golfnow paperwork said 8.12am. they had me booked at 8.21. they struggled to get me out before a tournament at 8.30am. The starter was rude and very unhelpful. No mention on website that the 14th green was being reconstructed, just a flag in the middle of the 14th fairway. I have played this course several times before. I will not be going back.

A beautiful setting and a moderately challenging course

The setting makes this course! Overlooking the Niagara Escarpment especially in the fall is breathtaking. The course offers the right amount of challenge for my level of play.

Just wish they had a real driving range to warm up at instead of a cage.

Overall very good value for the money!

Nice views. Do not harass a foursomes which plays in 3:50 min.

The entire foursome arrived in plenty of time for our tee time, even so, a abrupt and miserable employee drove over to our cars where we were loading our clubs onto the carts and said the tee was open and were we ready. As we were early, obviously they had not filled all tee times and there was a gap that they felt the need to push us to fill. So starts the feeling of being rushed. On the third tee a quite friendly older gentleman came up to us and asked if we could speed up because "we have got some twosomes behind you ", felt like we were being penalized for booking a foursome, and something about inclimate weather this afternoon, guess they wanted to push everyone so more walk ons could get around before the rain. The same gentleman, while not saying anything, continued to follow us around until the seventh hole actually slowing down the process by driving (hoovering) past the greens as we were lining up putts, forcing us to step back on occasion. At the end of the day the foursome had one golfer shoot in the 70's, two low 80's and one low 90's and played in 3hrs and 50 minutes. Absolutely, there was no need to harrass us about speed of play. If the twosomes want to play faster than that tell them to get up earlier and be first out. Ruined a great day for golf. As for a recommedation, I was the one who just did and had to listen to my buddies get agitated so why would I moving forward. Cheers

All that said. What did you think of the course and its layout. Sounds like you and your group were beating it up.
