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.

Great Course & Staff
The Escarpment course was in fantastic condition. Fellow golfers were friendly and allowed fast players to play through without fuss.
I played independently, and it took me 1 hour and 10 minutes (I just started golfing consistently this year, so I'm relatively new).
Great Course
They need to cut back the rough on the Canal course you can't see the greens from the fairway the rough is so high in front of the green. The staff was excellent very friendly and helpful kudos to the staff
Great Pace of play
We played early morning and didn't wait even for a minute. The course in in ok condition. Tee boxes are taking a beating and fairways are full of divots and clumps of grass left from those divots. People aren't fixing ball marks in the greens or fairways. The layout is fun and challenging, but the course is taking a beating from the lack of self responsibility of other golfers. Price was fair and staff was very friendly. We did have 2 way overpriced chicken salad sandwiches at the turn. Overall I will play this course again but I won't be expecting pristine course conditions.
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.
