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.

Course has potential but is unkept

Layout provides potential for nice course, but the course was unkept. For example, lost several balls in high grass (frustrating!!!) and had to clear geese poop to be able to putt on several holes (disgusting!!!!!!!). We had a less than desirable experience.

Inconsistent

This was my 5th round this season at Royal Niagara and played Iron Bridge and Escarpment. Most of the greens and fairways are in good condition. On the other side, some of the tee blocks and roughs are in very poor shape.

What an improvement!

Previous years the course was a cow patch. Went this year and the conditions were amazing. Didn’t feel like I was at the same course. Apparently new GM

Well Manicured

Played Iron Bridge and Escarpment. The course was in prime shape. Tricky pin locations, soft tee boxes and a well manicured course. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
