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 and greens are very challenging
The course was awesome but the play was very due to the JR tournament.Not the fault of the course as everyone was very friendly.
An excellent venue for a golf outing
We played the Escarpment Course and the Old Canal Course. The Escarpment Course was excellent but the Old Canal Course was rather difficult especially with very high wind conditions. It would be great if the course allowed customers to choose the 9’s we would like to play. We had 2 ladies who found the Canal Course way too difficult and stopped playing after the first 2 holes.
Great Course will definitely play again
Rain chased us off the course at 14th hole. Course was in amazing condition. Fairways were well manicured and greens were perfect. Some very challenging pin placements.
Course great beyond check-in
I very infrequently post a positive or negative review.
That said, once on the course...Royal Niagara was a pleasure to experience. Unfortunately, the staff at the pro-shop and the starter tainted the round. They were pompous, rude and disdainful to this customer to the point of posting this review and hence a poor recommendation.
Very unfortunate that staff and customer service tainted an otherwise enjoyable round and a great course.
Great course with great staff
I got a chance to play this course for the first time, and I have to say it was great experience. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating and went out of their way to make sure that everything was taken care of for me. The pace of play was wonderful, and the conditions of the course was top-notch.
Great condition
The course is in great condition, there were a few wear marks from people driving carts in the EXACT same path (nothing the course can do to prevent the herd from following each other ) . The greens were a bit on the wet side but in great shape . I just wish people would repair their own ball marks , which again the course can’t control . Overall , this is my wife and I’s favourite place to play together .
