Royal Niagara Golf Club - Old Canal Course
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
Amazing course… cheap for the quality . nicest staff ever! love it here.
Slow Pace of Play
The pace of play was severely compromised by walkers on the course. The distance between some of the holes is very long, one hole in particular on the Escarpment course, is probably a 1/2 kilometer. On that hole, we had 2 groups in carts behind the walkers just inching along until they reached the next tee box. As a result, the round was a very disappointing 5 hours long. This is a nice course but I would not recommend it until they address the pace of play issue.
Kaneff Making Improvements to Royal Niagara
Played Escarpment and Canal. Escarpment which is my favourite of the 3 and Canal the least favourite. Sand bunkers vastly improved on Escarpment , whereas Canal still has the old, hard, waste sand bunkers, but hopefully they'll improve that this year. Both courses the greens were slow, and some tee boxes need weed control. However, overall glad they are heading in the right direction.
Great course
Had not played the course in at least 5 years, it is better than I expected and remember.
No too bad
Needs some more traps and a bit of work on the drainage. Greens were fantastic. The staff was really friendly. I look forward to playing this course as the maintenance improves..
