Beechwood Golf & Social House sprawls across gently rolling hills dotted with natural water features and trees, providing a terrain that is ideal for golf. The championship layout features fast, undulating greens and carefully contoured fairways. Ponds come into play throughout along with meandering creeks and streams. There are also a few strategically placed bunkers in play. Beechwood Golf & Social House's finishing hole is notable for both the scenery and challenges it offers. To begin the hole you need a precise drive between out-of-bounds on the left and a creek to the right that cuts into a landing area, and then you must make a skillful second shot to a triple-tiered green that slopes towards the creek's edge.

"it's blowing over..."

Beechwood is terrific value for the golf dollar. Have been playing this course for years. It's a wonderful "out there" experience. Unfortunately we got the front 9 in basically unscathed by weather and then these were the common in jest phrases uttered by the group: "it's blowing over" - "yup just passing through" - "look see there's a break in the sky" - on the 17th hole a Marshall came over on a cart just to check in on our health and status. Everyone had left the course and club house facilities and we apparently were the only ones keeping the last club house soldier standing. He accepted our commitment with a smile and a shaking head...

Needs some TLC

The course was dry, dry, dry. Needs water and generally needs some TLC.

Sand bunkers are not sand.

I did like that the yardage was properly marked.

It was very windy on Monday so made for a tricky round. But 2 of us in a cart went around in 3.5 hrs.

Food is limited to only hot dogs on a Monday.

But I did notice that they will send you out with beer in a ice filled cooler.

We paid only $34 tax included, and that is about all the course is worth in its current condition.

this course is fun for guys who can't play as much as they would like.

The course itself is in good shape and well taken care of. It is mostly wide open, but there are a few holes that can pose a problem if the ball is not well placed. There are some water hazards that can also pose a problem.
All in all, a fun course to walk and play.

Challenging but user friendly course

Par 3's are a bit difficult. The course has lots of variety which I like. The water hazards create the challenge to this course, as you have to choose your clubs, not according to distance to hole but what you are capable of hitting that would get you over the water.

Solid golf course

Beechwood is a solid golf course with 4 sets of tees to challenge anyone from a low hdcp to a beginner. The holes with water provide the opportunity to lay up for the average golfer, but can seduce the longer hitter into a risk/reward situation. Ball placement of the tee is very important on the tree lined holes.

Greens were in good shape for normal spring golfing conditions in the Niagara Region. They are are the smaller side which make accuracy most important.

Our foursome enjoyed the cool windy day and plan to return to Beechwood in the future.

Older course with some fun holes

Not a bad track for being a 55 year old course. Obviously there are some
Rough spots on the course but overall a decent track. Play from the silver or gold tees for a real challenge. The white tees are pretty short. Have fun

Be Sharp

Classic treeline layout combined with small/medium greens, positional fairways and hidden hazards will contest your resolve.

The greens were impressive and rolled true considering fall golf.

Overall, this is a course that requires accuracy, precision perhaps a little luck as well on approach shots onto small raised, medium/fast paced greens.

Factoring the tree trouble percentages, it's not a surprise to have 3-6 strokes swings to your rounds.

If you do play the back tees, the trees are not trimmed which is unfair for a person who likes to work the ball right to left as you have to thread it thru a 3 foot window, ie, 11th, 14th hole.

Beechwood

There was a patch of two foot tall grass just of the edge of the 10th fairway that you can't see from the tee box. I don't remember it being there before. It took me several holes to recoup my composure after losing my ball there.

Beechwood sept 9.2014

The course was in fairly good condition. Greens were a little rough due to aerating. Overall very worth the green fee. It's a fun course to play.

course is good the staff not so good

everytime I play this course there is always a problem. They book too many golfers per hour. The average is every 8 minutes, however this doesn't work for this course. Slow play , 5 plus hour rounds are the norm because time slots are not managed properly, We were a twosome and tried to make the turn after nine, there was a foursome just getting to the green on 10 , a two foursomes and a twosomes waiting to tie off

This course is not managed properly , won't be back.

great place to play Golf

As a first time member of Golf now I was pleasantly surprised how smooth the online booking went.
The course was in great shape.
I brought my 10 year old boy out for the first time on a large course like this and he too thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a challenging course but not overwhelming to a beginner.
Good times @ Beechwood.

Not overly impressed

Not overly impressed with condition of course. Found out the "white" tees were now the ladies tees by an employee after teeing off one the third hole so changed to Blue tees after that but hole lengths seem to be the same from Blue tees as listed on card as the white tees. Just not overly impressed. Would play another course for same price rather than going back.

Worht the price we paid on Golf Now.

The Tees, fairways and greens were in great condition. Greens were very nice and challenging. Cart paths could use some work and a bit better signage from hole to hole could be improved. They need to change up their signage at the holes to be more reflective of the hole itself. They could attract more golfers but they need to stop thinking like a local course. Never did see a cart girl except in the distance.

Playing in the rain

We played 18 holes with a cart in the rain. Drainage of the course was good. The greens still played well considering it was raining. If you're looking for a good pace of play this is the place to go. The Marshall was always around making sure everyone was where they should be. The staff was average. Not the friendliest but definitely not rude. Overall, I would play it again and recommend it.
