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.

Huge disappointment
I thought I would give this track another try and now I am 100% convinced that I will not play there again. 5.5 hours! three foursomes on many of our Par 4's and the Marshall came by just to chat!! The tees were do chew'd up that we had to go outside of the box to get a blade of grass. Pro shop and food counter look ready to go out of business! It looks terribly uncared for. With so many choices to golf in Niagara and at prices equal to RN, you would think that they would be in better shape on all fronts.
Good course.
Good course. Some maintenance issues but nothing to worry about, this will not spoil your game. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Worth a visit.
Pace of play
Nice course, good condition, challenging, several blind shots into green. Pace of play was horrendous. Longest 18 holes ever played(5+hrs)
Hidden Gem!!!!!!
Last couple years coarse was not maintained as well as it should have.
However this year!! Wow, I can't say enough great things about this coarse!!!,
From the clubhouse to the tee box the rough to the bunker ,the fairway, to the greens. Just all around well looked after course thank you for turning it around!!!!
Course has potential but is unkept
Layout provides potential for nice course, but the course was unkept. For example, lost several balls in high grass (frustrating!!!) and had to clear geese poop to be able to putt on several holes (disgusting!!!!!!!). We had a less than desirable experience.
Inconsistent
This was my 5th round this season at Royal Niagara and played Iron Bridge and Escarpment. Most of the greens and fairways are in good condition. On the other side, some of the tee blocks and roughs are in very poor shape.
they had an issue with Ironbridge today , so put over to escarpment,,, other than that top-notch well done groundskeepers .
