With a location tucked away between the Niagara Escarpment, the Bruce Trail, and the Welland Canal, Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club offers 27 scenic holes. The Iron Bridge Course is one of the three nines at the club. The first hole runs across the magnificent Iron Bridge, which passes over the rambling waters of the Welland Canal. There are undulating greens and deep, well placed bunkers throughout the golf course. Although all of the courses at Royal Niagara Golf & Country Club are equal in difficulty and beauty, each layout is unique with an interesting set of challenges that pose a formidable test for players of all skill levels.

Great MorningRound

Really enjoyed my first round at Royal Niagara. The course was in great shape and there was a real variety of difficulty within the two (of 3 nines) tracks. We played Escarpment and Old Canal. We were supposed to play Iron Bridge on the back, but there was a huge group on the first tee and the Marshall quickly, and thankfully, moved us to the next nine. The only thing that wasn’t great was the tedious electronic waiver form which could be improved. Staff was great and I’ll definitely be going back again.

good course

We played in under 3 hrs with a 15 min rain stoppage. Signage could be better where paths split.

Course is dead. They have priced it too high. It is a $50 course not more.

Terrible pace

3 1/2 hours from nine made the turn to hole 10 and we were the fourth to t off. Unbelievable, called the pro shop and they said they would send someone out well too late, never seen a marshal up to my call. Called back to the pro shop asked for a comped round and they hung up on me. Never again. Callled golf now and I have an ongoing case # with them. Poor, book elsewhere and save yourself a huge headache.

Horrible pace

31/2 hours front nine nine, made the turn to 10 and we were four deep on the tee box no marshalling anywhere until I called and they sent someone to do what? Way too late to do anything. Asked for a rain check because of pace of play and got hung

Up on .. unbelievable. Called golf now and I am now holding a case # waiting for a response. Been a member of GN for many years and this was by far the longest round ever. Quit after 9 and and in called GN and stated my complaint. Let’s see what happens.

Great Niagara Course

1st of the season and the course looks good. Greens still need time to get in peek performance. 1st time I played in 3 1/2 hours. Glad to see marshals out.

Starter was ignorant to my group and other golfers

When I played this course a couple of years ago I was really turned off by the poor customer service and professionalism of the staff. I said to myself I wouldn’t go back. A friend of mine was in town and wanted to play this course recently so I regretfully decided to join him. I do believe in giving second chances, however there will never ever be a third. The same level of unacceptable customer service was yet again happening. The starter was not only rude to myself but also made a very offside comment about 2 golfers who were of another ethnicity, to another waiting golfer nearby. The amount of rules and waivers and things I couldn’t do before my round including moving the cart to the putting green was quite ridiculous. I can assure you I will never be back to this facility or any other one owned by this company.

Horrible Pace of Play

Course itself is nice. Old Canal 9 very challenging. Staff seemed indifferent except one friendly cart girl. 1:55 to play front nine (Iron Bridge) over 3 hours!!! To play back nine. They called out a ranger who did nothing to speed up play. Plus numerous groups placed in front of us after the turn. . Could have been a nice round but the pace and indifference of starters and marshals were unacceptable.

Royal Niagara

The course was in great shape. Staff very friendly. Pace of play was great. Im also glad you kept your bunkers, and they were in good shape as well.

This is now becoming the course to play in Niagara.
