Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course

I have played this course many times over the years and it has gone in the wrong direction. They have permitted the fescue to grow off the fairways to the point that any ball not too far off line becomes lost, even if you saw where it landed. Made the playing experience much less enjoyable. Spend some money, Iggy! This is a good golf course if you maintain it.

Nice course , good scenery good layout . Would play it again

Course was wet given all the recent rain, but that can't be changed. Everything else was excellent - quick pace, great staff, good conditions, all for under $50.

The price is right but I found the service and the attitude of staff in general quite poor. First off, my husband usually does the checkin a the pro shop and then gets the car while I arrange for beverages and snacks before we tee off. They gave him a hassle about taking the golf cart to the car to get our clubs. Have never had this issue at any other golf course and we golf often!

When I came out with the beverages from the bar (two for each of us) the Starter commented on "stocking up" and said that there's a cart girl out today. I thought he was extremely rude and not at all professional.

I agree with other comments and the "sand traps" were nothing but huge holes with grass.

All in, we would play there again but not our preferred course at all, which is a shame given that they have the ability to make it an awesome golf destination!

If you are going to take a fee to play your course then provide a product that is worthy of a $50 fee. Your traps are literally a joke. If you don't want to put sand in them then fill them in and don't ruin the playing experience, no one want to his out of mud and or rock hard dirt, I mean really. Also I know you are public but, if your players won't fix the ball marks and divots with the brown woody stuff you provide on the cart (yes we used it), then you need to fix them. Some of the ball marks of which there were hundreds on each green are weeks old.

We are high handicap players and found the Escarpment nine challenging.

The Iron Bridge nine was more user friendly.

Fairways were excellent and greens rolled true.

We will go back again.

We teed off at 6 am Sunday morning because we wanted a quick pace, we were the first players that day. After the first 9 we were told to play Escarpment for the back 9 unaware they were starting fresh golfers there. We got stuck behind 4

foursomes !!!! After playing the front 9 in 75 minutes it took us 55 minutes to play 3 holes. I called the pro shop and was told that we could have played another 9 where there wasnt anyone on it. Why we were not directed to play that 9 by the marshalls is beyond me. The pro shop said they were doing split tee times. We moved over to 9 and played it back to the clubhouse. We missed 4 holes . The staff need to be better trained. I am not happy about this. I have played the course many many times but will not go back.

Played on a Saturday for the first time in a long time, now I remember why. Especially around the Niagara area. Probably many boys weekends or wedding party groups. Had a group of 11 guys in front of us some barely hitting it 100 yards down the fairway, then waiting five minutes in the fairway for the green to clear 250 yards away. At one point, they re grouped themselves and we had a fivesome in front of us! Not a marshall to be seen. 5 I/2 hr. round!! The course itself was interesting and in good shape! challenging though.

I'd play again but never on a weekend again!

Overall Good course, Pace of play was very slow on front 9 and all due to foursome in front playing very slow. Did not see a Marshall all day, other than that good experience. Greens were a little chewed up for so early in season, but some really cool views of Bridge and water on a few holes

For anyone planning on playing there this year they have gone cash less, they do not accept cash anymore.

Cannot beat the price we paid for this round of golf. It was like we had the course to ourselves.

Highly reccommend

This course has all the potential to be great. Greens are bumpy which made it difficult. Open enough for those who have problems keeping it in the fare way. Course management a must . Will play it again . To bad they did not put some money into the greens.

Advised and arrived 20 mins late as a single.

The gentleman greeted me with no smile and put me with another single, which turned out to be a great companion local. But we were put in between some kind of league playing their regular.

There are 3 nines, don't understand why we had to play at the same nines.

I haven't played this for a couple of years coming from Toronto. The course is in pretty good condition.

Overall, other than the wind, it was fun.

We always play Royal Niagara early and late in the season because they open early and close late. Would probably play more but Im a member elsehwere. Gotta Love this course as its a regulation course who opens early and closes late in the year

We played Iron Bridge course on Victoria Day long weekend. Took advance of the hot deal but did not account for the cold and windy day. The only issue we found was the Asian foursome ahead of us that choose to look for every ball they lost - very painful. We were surprised that there was no marshal manning the course. Anyway, we would return.

EXTREME WINDY DAY MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT BUT WE STILL ENJOYED IT..COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION.

The staff were friendly the course was in great shape for the time of year. The only down side was the course doesn't except cash?????? Yes I said no cash which isn't a problem paying for a round of golf but it's a pain in the half way house. When you are trying to buy a pop and some chips and have to go through the debit machine. Despite that would certainly play there again.
