Beechwood Golf & Social House

Great value if you can get a hot deal

Loved the fact that there are a variety of tee boxes which permitted me to play the course longer while it was shortened up for my wife. Good variety of holes made challenging by well placed bunkers and tree lines. MAJOR COMPLAINT - no directions between holes 14 and 15, Therefore, unless you have played the course before and know where you are going, getting lost is very easy. Just put out some signs directing golfers at this point on the course.

Course is scenic with some interesting holes.

We had a great day at Beechwood. It wasn't too busy, but I think that the twosomes should be paired up by the starter, and not leave it up to the players. There were 3 twosomes in a row, and we caught up immediately to the first set and turned it into a foursome, but that made it difficult for the two left behind. A more detailed card that showed the hazards would be helpful.

On arrival praking not paved. Management and people in the pro shop need to learn custoner service. Golf course rough. For the price there are many courses in the area that are 4 star. Never again will I play here. Plus my team of 18 will never book here. The owners are rude.

I was not impressed with the fact that it was hovering around 40'C with the Humidex and they did not have a beverage cart out on the course. There were also no drinking water stations provided through out the 18 holes. No Marshalls were patrolling the course, and as such, there were some foursomes that were loud and boisterous while we were trying to play.

The conditions of the greens were excellent. For the cheap price, this course was above average. The pro shop is average at best, and golfers should not expect much there. The overall course was challenging enough for an average golfer like me. It is definitely worth the money charged...I paid $30 walking.

Had a fun day with the girls. Only negative was that we had a foursome hop in front of us and then we waited for them for what seemed like an eternity for the next few holes.

Got attitude from the lady in the Pro shop. Tee times were not honored and members were put out in front in fivesomes. Pace of play sucked, members suck

Nothing special but a good golf test.

Been playing here since the 70's and have never seen the greens as slow as they were. Fairways and rough were in need of some TLC as well.

I will always like the layout but it seems like they have neglected to keep the course as it once was.

Couse was in need of some maintenance in a few areas. Overall not bad value for what you pay for a round

Course was in very good condition. they have some very challenging holes on this course, I had a bad driving day and paid the price as secondary rough is very thick and trees also caused lots of trouble, Greens were a little slow but in great shape and traps are around quite a few greens keeping your approach shots honest. Staff was very friendly and the dress code allows denim which is nice in this day and age, I believe collared shirts should be worn but neat blue jeans should be allowed . This course is a good challenge for any level of golfer as they have 4 sets of tee blocks that change the level of difficulty considerably

No hole layout at each tee box makes it extremely frustating with hidden greens and hazards.

no negatives nice layout great greens

fair condition for this early in the season, challenging with a good layout and enjoyable difficult greens, excellent value for spring play

I cannot believe the condition of this course, in relation to the ratings I've seen on this website. 18 reviews in last 6 months, and 11 RECOMMENDED this disaster?!? Wow. FAR too many other courses in Niagara (at this price), in far better condition. Rolling Meadows, Willowdell, Sawmill, Sparrow Lakes. I used a coupon and only paid $20 and for this quality of course, it was $10 over priced.

Pros:
In late Oct, there was 10 other golfers and us.
The greens were in pretty good shape.
The ProShop staff was friendly and courteous.

Cons:
Fairways were a mix of different grasses, mud, dead spots.
Then - you couldn't distinguish between rough and fairway because they were cut at the same height
Their tee boxes tended to be uneven. It's my belief that a tee box should be as smooth as glass, so that you're not teeing you ball up above or below your feet. They were hacked up by previous customers, and they weren't trimmed low enough (should resemble a green, not intermediate rough).

I have heard that this place USED to be a hidden gem. It will likely take too much hard work, dedication and $$$ from the course owner to get this course back to something that could be called "average".

For the price of a green fee here, golfers can play at other courses in far better condition - OR - if they want to pay a bit more - choose from dozens of top quality courses, all within :20 minutes of this place.

I golfed here last about 3 years ago...what a difference from then till now! They held a Junior Championship here a few years ago. The fairways all were bare patched all over and the grass that was there was all different types and densities. The rough was mostly like a rock. The greens were ok for the most part and pin placement was challenging which was the only good in this day of golf. VERY disappointed in the course condition. Its like they gave gave up about 2 months ago trying to maintain a good course. Still amazed people play this course regularly.

This course used to be a pleasure to play. However, it seems to have been let go a little bit over the past two years. The fairways were in bad shape, probably due to a grub problem. The greens were OK but some needed work. With the number of courses available to play on, they need to do a better job to attract more players.

The fairways were in very poor condition & it seems like nobody fixes their divots. The traps had no sand in them so very tough to get out of. All in all I thought the course was not in very good shape. Our cart had not been cleaned up from the last person who used it & there was no scorecard on it when we got it. Thank goodness we booked through golfnow & did not pay full green fees
