Royal Niagara Golf Club - Iron Bridge Course

Unfortunately there was alot of water in most traps as we played after 3 days of heavy rain. Had a chance to play one trap and it would be good to play when they dry out as the sand is good

Pace of play was slow, they had every nine booked solid and so the crossovers were messed up. Stay away from the Old Canal course if you can, it is just a lot of trick golf, the other two nines are decent.

Course has a great layout with very challenging greens with lots of slope and breaks. Some of the holes especially iron bridge are tight that require some shot making shots.
The course is in Great shape from fairways to greens.
My only negative thought is the tee blocks are not level.,very hard to find a level lie

Originally I had thought we had scored booking this time for $39.95+taxes and fees. Was I ever wrong. Although this course has three nines, the pace of play was horrendous. The pro shop staff was too busy to talk to us and we waited for over 5 minutes to get acknowledged. I don't like courses that take the driver out of your hands on par 4's and 5's. Many of the holes on this course, that was the case. Also, added Marshalls would improve the pace of play. I would not go back to this course unless the price was reduced. There are far too many good golf courses in the Niagara region for this place to be charging what they charge.

I signed up to play, and was going to be put with a threesome, but arrived early and was allowed to go off as a single.
The course had a few places where repairs were needed, but overall was still in good condition. The staff was very helpful, even when I caught up with the green cutter, he even recommended to me to replay the last two holes, so that he would be able to finish cutting the 18th before I got there and I would have a better experience.

Staff were very unfriendly and very over bearing...price vs quality = horrible

Greens were quite slow but in good condition on Canal and bunkers where hard but fairways were good.

Great course and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Too slow in playing in most holes.
No marshall showed up to check
Speed.
The Most greens are not well managed,
poorly managed.

I expected far more from a course that has green fees as high as $70 and more. The greens were terrible; divot marks everywhere, no ability to make proper reads and some of the greens had weeds in them. The rough was inconsistent and burnt, it seem to have been cut with a lazy attitude and grass clipping were just left to build up. The worst was a par 5 on the escarpment that I should have been on in 2 had it not been for the last 40 yards not been cut, no fringe available and my ball was caught up on what should have been the fringe but it was about 3 inches thick of uncut grass. I heard from many people I the Niagara area that it is a poor course, but I have it a chance given the golf now price but I will never be back again.

A lovely day indeed. Very nice course with some interesting holes. Challenging enough for me and most golfers with a 15 plus handicap. Lower, just move back on the tees. Rain a few days earlier meant the Bunkers were not in good shape. Hard. too hard ... need sand. Water in the traps happens but they are still too hard. I liked the course very much ... greens were good .. tough to read ... decent condition.

Great course....good value.
Greens were rough. Due to golfers NOT repairing ball marks. Inexcusable.
Food -restaurant closed too early....5 pm. Nothing to be had at the turn...
Facility locked its doors too early....luckily an employee saw us and let us in to use the restroom.

Course is in great condition as always with soft clean fairways and really decent greens. Only one green, I believe it was the 6th on Escarpment, had some kind of blight along the right edge with no grass. Butoverall great greens with pretty challenging hole positions.

Facilities are great and the staff were extremely friendly. Course looks great overall, well watered and everything was very green.

Pace of play was bad. Stuck behind a group with space ahead. Apparently they were having cart trouble which was eventually fixed but only saw the marshal once about it.

Only other issue were the greens, tho well watered and rolled nicely, were so dug up with ball marks, areas with dirt. When you got a smooth area they rolled true but that was rare. Really only knock because fairways were in great shape, tee boxes looked great and overall presentation of course was great.

Gave it an overall 5/5 for potential which honestly may be a little wrong of me. Based on the rest of the course being top notch I can forgive them slightly for having green issues. The really need to move pin placement.

Greens have many teers, lots of deep bunkers placed throughout fairways and around greens. Difficult course and it can play long with raised greens. Feel like it played more difficult because the greens were chewed up tho.

Played this course for the second time in a few weeks. Like our last outing the cart died in the back nine. It died on the 10th hole and the beer cart girl radioed in. The staff member didn't know we were with the cart girl and very rudely told her to tell us in a nice way that we should have switched carts at the turn. Our cart died on the 10th, not at the turn. The staff member that brought us a new cart would not even respond to our questions. Never again. This course wanted to be prestigious but we now know why it will never be. We will not be back.

Weather was suspect so the traffic was light and we (3) got off 30 minutes early. Played the round in about 3.5 hours.
Course was in excellent condition and we will be back.
Drop your clubs at the drop.. Will not let you take your cart to the parking lot.
Green to Tee is a journey on some holes, take a cart.

A pleasure to play any time, accuracy is a must or bring lots of extra golf balls

There is no restaurant to talk about nothing to eat at all besides sandwiches not satisfactory

Course was in great condition. Pace of play for the front nine was a nice flow, pace did slow down on the second nine. Completed round 4Hrs and 15 Mins.
Will return for second round before end of season.

Having played here on several occasions I was very disappointed with the condition of the greens and sand traps .
This course can be quite penal to misplaced shots but the poor quality of the traps and the poor putting surface this time made it very difficult to score well.
We notice that some of the pin positions where crowned suggesting that the green staff had not used a plate when cutting the hole..
While the bang for the buck is still quite good the course needs some TLC..
