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.

2 of 3 nines are excellent - why can’t we play them?

Didn’t understand why we couldn’t play iron bridge nine instead of old canal (holes 7-9 are extremely lame). Marshall insisted that men’s league players were only 2 holes from xing to iron bridge nine. I told him we had just played the front nine in 1 hour 45 minutes and certainly wouldn’t be holding anyone up. He refused and said we had to play old canal nine. Our 4some went over to canal and they had parachuted a 2some in front of us- long story short- our 4some waited on every shot on the back.

Walked

Fun Course

Played iron bridge and escarpment. Both were in nice shape. There are some long walks between some holes if you’re walking. Fun round. I’d play again and again.

Money needs to be spent here

Greens are uneven with different kinds of grass. Maps are horrific and no use to a first time player here. Yardage no longer appears on irrigation heads. Some trees are overhanging where they shouldn't be. This feels like a real estate development in waiting, and whoever owns it now doesn't want to spend any money on it
