Royal Niagara Golf Club - Escarpment Course

Course itself is nice. Old Canal 9 very challenging. Staff seemed indifferent except one friendly cart girl. 1:55 to play front nine (Iron Bridge) over 3 hours!!! To play back nine. They called out a ranger who did nothing to speed up play. Plus numerous groups placed in front of us after the turn. . Could have been a nice round but the pace and indifference of starters and marshals were unacceptable.

The course was in great shape. Staff very friendly. Pace of play was great. Im also glad you kept your bunkers, and they were in good shape as well.

This is now becoming the course to play in Niagara.

Very good greens but a lot of ball marks in greens and divots without being repared

So unorganized

Attitude

Disappointed before I even started

Course conditions were awesome

Cart girl showed up 2nd last hole dieing of thirst

Won't be back

Was told that I would enjoy this course and I can say others were right. Typically well kept clubhouse, carts, range and course. Standard for any Kaneff course. Would definitely play here again for the money it is well worth it.

Course is great, challenging but fun with forgiveness. Only downfall was the pace of play. Waited at every hole for the group infront to tee off, and they were waiting for the group infront of them. Over 5 hours to play 18

Two of us on a cart were paired with a walking golfer. Too slow

Should not be playing with walkers if on a cart

We had a perfect day to play Royal Niagara and played an emergency 9 holes after playing 18- ( Iron Bridge 2X and Escarpment 1X) . Next time will budget for 27 holes and hopefully will play the Canal Course as well. Consider a membership for 2025.

A perfectly above average experience ... with the chance to be so much more. The course is very well laid out and requires quite a bit of strategy. The views are nice and the prices are reasonable. So it's hard to complain when all that is factored in. The course conditions were lacking and greens just didn't roll true. With some modest improvements (this course would seriously benefit from GPS in the carts - a modest upgrade that all premium courses should have nowadays) and a little more attention to detail, this could be one of the best courses in the Niagara region. For now, it's just a very solid B with the potential to be much better.

The course was in okay condition, there was a tournament that morning so there were a few extra ball marks on the green, Otherwise it was a perfect day of golf. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

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.
