Aultsville Creek runs alongside Upper Canada Golf Course, adding to the already scenic setting. It's located just across Highway 2 from the St. Lawrence River. Built in the early 1960s, the course has a classic design that still offers challenges that rival those that can be found on more modern courses. The golf course measures just over 6,900 yards from the back tees. There are four tees total and they are diverse enough for players of any skill level to play to their ability. Tall evergreens line the fairways and they also border the numerous ponds and wetlands that are scattered throughout the golf course. Strategically placed bunkers complement the natural hazards, adding a striking contrast to the lush greens. Upper Canada's 12th through 16th holes are a challenging stretch of holes that play right along the creek.

Great course bad score

Four of us decided to play at upper canada and while we had a spectacular day weather wise and the course was in great shape with a really good track we all played terrible of course until the 18th
Such is golf, we all really enjoyed the challenge it gave us, the conditions were perfect
We cannot wait to go back and play again but bring our better game next time

Good for all

Upper Canada is a nice course, reasonably challenging but still mostly fair. It is also playable for golfers of all levels. The course was reasonably well maintained and greens were in decent shape. We took a cart because it was included in our fee, but it's easily walkable.

Staff was friendly, well, other than the restaurant, they didn't seem to want us there.

I rated the value as average, it's not great for prime time, it's OK for afternoon but it's great if you grab one of those Hot Deals which just happened to be offered for the time I wanted to golf anyway.

If I'm in the area again I'd definitely consider playing it again, but I doubt I'd go to the restaurant (though for the quick beer we had there it did look nice, so maybe another chance...)

don't waste your money

This course has several flaws starting with mgmt. They seem to have a lot of trouble just answering the phones let alone getting the groups right at booking. My suggestion is that women should avoid this course as it is too long(5600 yds) and the rough is too long(4-6 in) for them to enjoy themselves. They set every hole up to be the toughest on that particular green. Not the way to attract holiday or green fee players. Seems mgmt. has lost control of the grounds crew and they pretty much do whatever they like. Go play a local course and enjoy your game and don't support this poorly run although good shape,tough golf course

Terrific conditions

I have played Upper Canada several times over the past 30 years. The conditions of the course continue to be top-notch. With the discount from Golf Now it is an incredible value that I recommend to everyone.

quite slow and. nobody seems to care

Though I would have a nice relaxing round on a mid afternoon Saturday. if you don't mind 10 to 15 minutes waits between lots of shots then this is a nice place. Really nice course but beware the pace of play.

great price

upper Canada is a great course to play the greens super does a fantastic job to keep it in excellent shape the management team here doesn't seem to care what people think of the experience of the course no beverage cart on the course when we played at 30 degrees the only beer available was in bottles at the turn really bottles glass is a n accident ready to happen wish this course would be run by people who treated it like a business instead of a manager looking for a government pension what a shame this course could be one of the best in eastern Ontario but until the management changes it will struggle

Framed by water

The course was in nice shape. Well kept fairways and smooth rolling greens. Although not overly busy, I was forced to hop between holes to overcome backups.

Great course, well worth the detour.

We loved the course. It was in great shape. The greens were in excellent condition and quite fast. It was well worth the drive from Montreal to go play that course.

Great course.

I am fortunate enough to live 10 minutes from Upper Canada and have played it several times this year. It is a great parkland style course. Most fairways are lined with huge old trees, so there is no room for errant tee shots. The greens are in perfect condition, soft and moderately fast, larger flat tee boxes, and the fairways are in good condition.
The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. I almost always get out ahead of my tee time if I am early. Not a super busy track which makes for a stress free, enjoyable round.
