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.

course was closed when we got there. Would like a refund. Very disappointed drove from Burlington to Niagra Falls to find out course was closed.
Double booked
When I got to the course, they said they didn’t have my teatime. They said GolfNow teetimes weren’t even there. And they had their own bookings for the same time I booked. I would’ve had to wait an hour and a half just to start the round and would’ve never gotten done before it got dark. So we left the course and I got stuck paying the reservation fee of five dollars and change. Very disappointed!
Overbooked
I had book golf reservation through GolfNow and when I got there, they were double booked. They didn’t get our bookings till later in the course and a double booking everything so we’re an hour behind. We did not bother going because by the time we would finish it would be dark Very disappointed with Royal. Thank you.
PS. I still am short convenience fee!
Old Canal fun to play as was the escarpment course. Very few leaves
The Escarpment Course is very challenging but was fun. The course was in great shape except for the recent aeration of the greens. Once you got he speed down 2 puts were normal. The Old Canal course has several blind landing locations so familiarity helps a lot. It was cart path only so we tried to play cart golf but that didn’t happen fun. Fall golf much fun.
Amazing layout
Been a few times to this course as it’s local. Went after they punch the greens and put sand on them…..there was A LOT of sand. The greens were pretty much unplayable after this BUT this is just what happens at the end of the season. To be expected. The one thing that would’ve been nice with the greens being so terrible would be a little bit more of a deal than they offer, I had $3 taken off the original green fee. Any other time this course is so good! The fairways are very nice, pace of play is always normal, people are good and just really enjoy the setup.
Aerating Greens
Would have been 5 stars all around but greens are being prepared for next year. Otherwise, all good.
happy to be here
First time on this course. Conditions were fine and layout not too challenging for an intermediate player and good pace of play. Pretty good value for the money. Friendly staff.
Nice course
Played early in the morning, they must have watered like crazy as fairways were soaked, didn't expect this in October. Course was in good shape except for the bunkers which were wet and not raked.
Range was closed as there was a tournament that was starting at noon, we were there at 8! Staff said no one to pick up balls...
No beverage cart.
Will play again next year
One of my favorites
I really enjoy playing royal Niagara. The course is very well designed and it plays very tough. I would play here more often if they had deals
