Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course

Upon arriving golf shop staff was professional. We were told to see the starter outside, who was less than welcoming and advising first timers on what to do. He told us to put on bags on cart 71. We did that and waited for a staff member to give us some more information. No information was given until the starter came over and said you’re playing with these 2 guys. The men we were playing with were SLOW players. My wife and I were on vacation and did our best to deal with it. About the 5th hole the ranger comes up to my wife and says you need to pick it up you’re 2 holes behind. My wife and I are 3hour a round players. Explain that the 2 guys we’re playing with are SLOW. He made the mistake of assuming that my wife was the slow player. To say his attitude upset me was would be a huge understatement. So we rush to the next tee to see the group in front of us and wait 5 minutes to tee off. Now I’m really upset! To say this facility has a bias against women is again an understatement. When I got to the turn I made my point in an assertive manner and they sent us to another 9 where we finish our game in peace. I worked in the golf business for 5 years and can only say, this is not how you do it. In the end they made it better, but only after I forced the issue. Recommend try someplace else.

Went on Sunday noon to play a round a golf with my wife

Surprisingly it wasn’t busy not that we were complaining

The course was in great condition

This is a course that everyone should try at least once

Great experience from beginning to end. Staff was excellent and the course is in great shape! Thank you!

Played July 31st, course was restricted to cart path only and there was absolutely no need for that..!!! Fairways were dry enough and groups behind us were driving in the fairways. It has been 5 years at least since we played there because the rates are way overpriced for the course conditions, bunkers are still bad. The only improvement is paved cart paths now. Save your money...not worth over 100 bucks each with carts.

For an 80 dollar round of really wasn’t anything special. Poor layout which is unfortunate, greens were in good shape but everything else was very mediocre. Seems like kaneff courses really have been let go and for 80 dollars a round I wouldn’t play here again

Played in a twosome and was paired up with a single. Booked the hot deal 🔥 a week earlier and got a great price for a primetime Sunday afternoon. My first time playing here, however the course was in great condition for it being such a hot and dry summer to date. Fairways were well watered, greens were fair. Challenging course layout at times , not many bunkers but alot of holes where you gotta get the ball up in the air to get over rescue and different kind of hazards. Didn't interact much with the staff, however I noticed they had a fully licensed bar and lunch spot as well as a beer girl out and about.

Course is much improved since last time (5 years ago) ,new cart paths , removal of some bunkers. If they add new directional signage , I would give it 5 stars. Lots of goose poo on course ,

course was is great shape, greens ran true. its a great test of shot making with a good variety slopes and doglegs. cart paths look freshly paved and signage was overall help full. pro ship staff and the starter were extremely friendly and nice.

Course was in great shape, played in under 4 hours, highly recommend.

We where lucky to get out early as a group as we tend to play best ball , depending on our foresome. We had no one in front, or behind us, so we totally enjoyed the round.

It was as if we owned the golf course. The staff was great as they got us out there a little earlier than our tee time as we told them that we intended to play best ball.

Two thumbs way up.
