Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Escarpment Course is one of three nine-hole courses at Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club. The course is so named for its layout, which begins at the base of the Niagara Escarpment and snakes upwards to the top of the wooded Escarpment; afterwards it goes back downhill to the clubhouse. The golf course has been built to championship standards with carefully sculpted fairways and cavernous bunkers. There are also undulating greens and water hazards coming into play throughout. The challenging round is complemented by the scenic views provided by Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club's idyllic location between the Escarpment, the Bruce Trail and the Welland Canal

Nice course
Played early in the morning, they must have watered like crazy as fairways were soaked, didn't expect this in October. Course was in good shape except for the bunkers which were wet and not raked.
Range was closed as there was a tournament that was starting at noon, we were there at 8! Staff said no one to pick up balls...
No beverage cart.
Will play again next year
One of my favorites
I really enjoy playing royal Niagara. The course is very well designed and it plays very tough. I would play here more often if they had deals
open
they need to open up the other nine and pace of play will improve.
Good layout, slow pace of play, average conditions
Disappointing as the layout could be great, but the pace of play was terrible (5hrs 10) and we did not see a single marshall all round. Staff seemed limited and disinterested. Cart girl went home at 5pm, not great as play so slow. Great potential but course conditions average, many greens with issues.
Wet conditions but playable
It was cartpath only, course was in decent condition considering all the rain locally this year. Found this course challenging for my skill set but had fun being challenged, still broke 100
Course does not accommodate handicapped players
First time to the course with with 3 friends one of which recently had a kidney removed and is still not back up to full strength. On arrival we were informed that it was cart path only so for my friend we asked for a handicapped flag and were told that the course will not accommodate handicapped players when it is cart path only.
We thought that was very strange not to accommodate a guest and found it even stranger since there was no standing on the course at all except for 3 sand traps.
Cart path only in almost perfect conditions makes no sense at all. And because of that the round lasted 5 hours.
Tee boxes all in bad shape and most are slanted.
Greens are full of ball marks and don't seemed to be repaired.
Wouldn’t return
Awful from bag drop to course conditions to fairways to abandon bunkers ( likely ownership reduced operating costs by eliminating them in numerous locations) this is a total waste of money and time considering what available in and around the region .
Just awful
From pro shop check in to awful conditions. Clearly a coarse interested in vacation crowd who haven’t gambled their money away . It’s horrible value horrible fairways and rough and in a cost reduction situation they removed bunkers and let weeds grow over as though they planed grass bunkers . I would quit golf if that was the last coarse left on earth .
Everything was great, the only complaints were the old guy in the first tee around 920 when we teed off. Was really miserable and a unfriendly. The marshal also seemed to hover abit when our pace of play was under 15 mins a hole and I was walking, maybe just read into that too much. Course was fantastic shape, all other staff was very friendly. I’ll be back!
Really Nice Course
Great course. Picturesque with challenging holes. I've played 3 times mid-week and all 3 times we pretty much had the course to ourselves.
