Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course

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.

The course is really nice right now even after all the rain we have had!

I plan to play the course again. Pace was great. Greens were excellent

They should be ashamed charging that kind of money for greens like that! 39 putts and only hit 1 bad putt!

My fiancée and I were in Canada for my birthday and were able to get an early season round in. The course was lightly trafficked and we got around mostly unobstructed. We played the Escarpment/Iron Bridge combo and greatly enjoyed the layout. That said, the price ($52-Canadian) was pretty steep, especially considering the early season course conditions; and the fact that our cart crapped out after 15 holes. A phone call to the pro shop and the cart problem was quickly addressed by the staff (to their credit). All in all, we had a nice time and would like to return one day to play the Canal 9.

The weather was excellent for November and the course was in great shape, given it was getting ready for winter. The greens were in very good shape and few leaves to distract you. Highly recommend playing this course any time.....will be back for sure.

It need more guide to next hole.

The weather was nice, windy and chilly at times but nice for November. The fairways were in very good shape, some of the low areas were wet but still well kept up. The greens were fast, well groomed and pretty much leaf free and they rolled true. There were only about 20 golfers spread out over the 27 hole course, so the pace was how we wanted it to be, no-one pushing or dragging. The staff was very pleasant and patient, the kitchen was open at 8 am for a breakfast sandwich which was very good and reasonably priced. Definitely a course to play and well worth the money. It has it's challenges for the experienced golfer but is also playable for those starting out playing the tougher course.

Greens were punched but for late fall golf in ontario it was better than expected.

Very few leaves and perfect soft conditions.

Well kept course with a fun to play layout

Course was in great shape for this time of year even with the aerated greens. More signage would be appropriate to get around the course layout without getting confused on the next hole/tee block locations. That would probably really speed up play. Overall love the course.

An enjoyable round. First time here. Played in a foursome, with some great guys. Will definitely play here again. Mixture of moderate and challenging holes and fairways. Greens were quick.

Not really spectacular. Green was not good in shape. Rough was too high, you lose easily your ball.

Hadn't played the course since it opened, but really enjoyed my day. Managed to get in 27 holes just before the sun set. The three nines all have interesting and picturesque holes. The holes are challenging, and there is a price to pay if your shots are too far off course. The greens were receptive, with lots of character. I just wish more golfers would fix their ball marks! I could have easily spent another hour of my day fixing everyone else's craters. Grrr...

Only quibbles were that many of the hole maps were missing the yardages (guess the numbers have peeled off over time), and there's an error on the scorecard for Canal #9 - it's a short par 4, not a short par 3.

Awesome course, great shape.

I have not played this course in about 10 years but I am glad I did today. I played early in the morning and played The Old Canal course first and I played alone. This 9-holes was for the shot maker as it was smart to play strategic golf to set up your best chance for par/birdie opportunities. The Old Canal was an enjoyable layout. I then played the Escarpment course and met up with a 3-some on the first tee. One of the players works at the course and he offered some incite on placement off the tee and it certainly was helpful. This 9-holes was more out in the open and windier but it offered more chances to grip and rip the driver. I played a full 18 holes with this group as I continued on to play The Old Canal course again as it was a perfect day for golf. The Iron Bridge course was closed due to maintenance, but I will be back to play here again as I enjoyed the conditions as well as the layout at Royal Niagara.

We arrived 45 min early and were greeted by a very pleasant starter who has a sense of humour - he suggested we could tee off earlier than our scheduled tee time - nice - during our round we encountered a couple of pockets of course workers who were courteous and respectful of whether or not we were hitting so we can't blame missed shots on them(ha, ha) - bunker placement is fair and most have decent sand - the real negative about this course is that there are quite a few blind shots and with no course map (most Kaneff Golf Courses have them), it meant some surprises - we golfed Escarpment & Old Canal (the most difficult of the 3 nines) & when we come back, and we will, we will request Escarpment & Iron Bridge
