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.

Nice few days

I have played here a few times before and was looking forward to getting another round in. Was able to play 18 holes, two days in a row, and really enjoyed it. I feel the course is one of the best in Niagara, with a good variety of interesting holes, including some elevation changes that you don't get on a lot of our flat Niagara courses. Some small issues with one or two of the greens, but the course was well manicured in general. I am already looking forward to going back.

Course was wet

Cart path only due to heavy rain day prior. That made for a slow round but understandable. Otherwise enjoyed the round, course is somewhat challenging, have played here a few times, always enjoyable.

Let down

For the money we paid kind of disappointed in the conditions. First nine tee boxes weren’t great a lot of crab grass. Greens had some bare patches. Disappointed

Somewhat Disappointed

I liked the course and clubhouse, the staff were great and helpful. I was a disappointed in the condition of the tee boxes, some which looked like hogs had rooted on them, and many of the greens were inundated with ball marks even though we were the first tee off time. The fairways were immaculate and well tended. I would play here again but with some trepidation.

Royal Niagara

Course is challenging and has an interesting layout. Lots of elevated greens, blind shots and carries over hazards. The course needs to improve maintenance or adjust their cost. Many burnt out areas on the greens, uneven tee decks, and unexpected bounces from firm fairways.

Beware

This course was once a beautiful gem. The fairways are the only thing left that is kept up on the course. Greens were full of marks and divots. Tee boxes were dirt with little to no grass and very uneven. Make sure to drop your clubs off with your car here. Otherwise you will be walking 1/4 mile back to the parking lot, only to walk them back again. No carts can leave past the pro shop. I think for $90+ tee boxes and especially greens should be in fantastic shape. Definitely not the case here. Could have played eagle valley and saved money.

What a gem

This is now my favourite course. Other courses should use this course as a standard of how a course should be established and ran.
