Royal Niagara Golf Club - Old Canal Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Old Canal Course is one of three nine-hole courses at the Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club. Situated between the scenic Niagara Escarpment and the Bruce Trail, the Old Canal Course is named after the historic 120-year-old Welland Canal that borders it. The challenging layout was designed to championship standards, employing several tricky elements including carefully sculpted fairways, rolling greens, and king-size bunkers. True to its name, the golf course features plenty of water throughout. There are several dramatically placed tees perched on the edges of the canal, providing stunning scenery that is unmatched in the Niagara region. All three courses at Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club were built to the same high standards, but each one offers a unique set of challenges.

Terrible pace
3 1/2 hours from nine made the turn to hole 10 and we were the fourth to t off. Unbelievable, called the pro shop and they said they would send someone out well too late, never seen a marshal up to my call. Called back to the pro shop asked for a comped round and they hung up on me. Never again. Callled golf now and I have an ongoing case # with them. Poor, book elsewhere and save yourself a huge headache.
Horrible pace
31/2 hours front nine nine, made the turn to 10 and we were four deep on the tee box no marshalling anywhere until I called and they sent someone to do what? Way too late to do anything. Asked for a rain check because of pace of play and got hung
Up on .. unbelievable. Called golf now and I am now holding a case # waiting for a response. Been a member of GN for many years and this was by far the longest round ever. Quit after 9 and and in called GN and stated my complaint. Let’s see what happens.
Great Niagara Course
1st of the season and the course looks good. Greens still need time to get in peek performance. 1st time I played in 3 1/2 hours. Glad to see marshals out.
Great course
Played a last second round and the deal was outstanding. Course conditions were very nice, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely would recommend and come back again.
Best course in Niagara
Played for the first time, what a course. Cart path in impressive. We played Iron bridge/Escarpment. Fairway and greens are beautiful. A must play.
Starter was ignorant to my group and other golfers
When I played this course a couple of years ago I was really turned off by the poor customer service and professionalism of the staff. I said to myself I wouldn’t go back. A friend of mine was in town and wanted to play this course recently so I regretfully decided to join him. I do believe in giving second chances, however there will never ever be a third. The same level of unacceptable customer service was yet again happening. The starter was not only rude to myself but also made a very offside comment about 2 golfers who were of another ethnicity, to another waiting golfer nearby. The amount of rules and waivers and things I couldn’t do before my round including moving the cart to the putting green was quite ridiculous. I can assure you I will never be back to this facility or any other one owned by this company.
Great course!
Course in great condition!
Tricky greens to read
Really enjoyed it.
Horrible Pace of Play
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.
Royal Niagara
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.
Divots and ball marks
Very good greens but a lot of ball marks in greens and divots without being repared
Confused
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
Royal Niagara
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.
Good course but slow play
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
