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.

Amazing Value
Cannot beat the price we paid for this round of golf. It was like we had the course to ourselves.
Highly reccommend
Just like Kanif
This course has all the potential to be great. Greens are bumpy which made it difficult. Open enough for those who have problems keeping it in the fare way. Course management a must . Will play it again . To bad they did not put some money into the greens.
Nice cool but windy spring day
Advised and arrived 20 mins late as a single.
The gentleman greeted me with no smile and put me with another single, which turned out to be a great companion local. But we were put in between some kind of league playing their regular.
There are 3 nines, don't understand why we had to play at the same nines.
I haven't played this for a couple of years coming from Toronto. The course is in pretty good condition.
Overall, other than the wind, it was fun.
Thanks. We will work on the smiles and be smarter about starting you!
Early and Late Season Favourite
We always play Royal Niagara early and late in the season because they open early and close late. Would probably play more but Im a member elsehwere. Gotta Love this course as its a regulation course who opens early and closes late in the year
Nice course - very windy
We played Iron Bridge course on Victoria Day long weekend. Took advance of the hot deal but did not account for the cold and windy day. The only issue we found was the Asian foursome ahead of us that choose to look for every ball they lost - very painful. We were surprised that there was no marshal manning the course. Anyway, we would return.
EXCELLENT COURSE
EXTREME WINDY DAY MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT BUT WE STILL ENJOYED IT..COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION.
Great day.
The staff were friendly the course was in great shape for the time of year. The only down side was the course doesn't except cash?????? Yes I said no cash which isn't a problem paying for a round of golf but it's a pain in the half way house. When you are trying to buy a pop and some chips and have to go through the debit machine. Despite that would certainly play there again.
Great conditions
The course is really nice right now even after all the rain we have had!
The course was in good condition considering a heavy rain the previous day
I plan to play the course again. Pace was great. Greens were excellent
Terrible greens!
They should be ashamed charging that kind of money for greens like that! 39 putts and only hit 1 bad putt!
Glad we played it...
My fiancée and I were in Canada for my birthday and were able to get an early season round in. The course was lightly trafficked and we got around mostly unobstructed. We played the Escarpment/Iron Bridge combo and greatly enjoyed the layout. That said, the price ($52-Canadian) was pretty steep, especially considering the early season course conditions; and the fact that our cart crapped out after 15 holes. A phone call to the pro shop and the cart problem was quickly addressed by the staff (to their credit). All in all, we had a nice time and would like to return one day to play the Canal 9.
What a day....
The weather was excellent for November and the course was in great shape, given it was getting ready for winter. The greens were in very good shape and few leaves to distract you. Highly recommend playing this course any time.....will be back for sure.
good
It need more guide to next hole.
Golfing in November in Canada
The weather was nice, windy and chilly at times but nice for November. The fairways were in very good shape, some of the low areas were wet but still well kept up. The greens were fast, well groomed and pretty much leaf free and they rolled true. There were only about 20 golfers spread out over the 27 hole course, so the pace was how we wanted it to be, no-one pushing or dragging. The staff was very pleasant and patient, the kitchen was open at 8 am for a breakfast sandwich which was very good and reasonably priced. Definitely a course to play and well worth the money. It has it's challenges for the experienced golfer but is also playable for those starting out playing the tougher course.
November 7th? Awesome
Greens were punched but for late fall golf in ontario it was better than expected.
Very few leaves and perfect soft conditions.
Thanks, yes it is always a challenge trying to get the greens done!
Fun course
Well kept course with a fun to play layout
Royal Niagara worth every penny.
Course was in great shape for this time of year even with the aerated greens. More signage would be appropriate to get around the course layout without getting confused on the next hole/tee block locations. That would probably really speed up play. Overall love the course.
Course was in Excellent Shape
An enjoyable round. First time here. Played in a foursome, with some great guys. Will definitely play here again. Mixture of moderate and challenging holes and fairways. Greens were quick.
To over prices and rated course.
Not really spectacular. Green was not good in shape. Rough was too high, you lose easily your ball.
Thanks!
