Rockway Vineyards Golf Course offers an 18-hole championship round with the Niagara Escarpment and the Rockway Conservation Area serving as the backdrop. The course sprawls across the vineyards of the Rockway Vineyards Estate Winery. The rolling landscape provides tricky elevation changes and there are numerous ponds and bunkers throughout the golf course. The layout features large, sculpted greens and fairways that are flanked by more than 60 sand bunkers. The front nine features a challenging set of par 4s and fast, undulating greens. Vineyards's back nine begins gently with short approach shots and birdie opportunities but becomes more challenging once you hit the 13th hole, a par-4 dogleg left.

Best value for the money

Course is in great shape, the greens are pretty fast and they’ve done a decent job getting the leaves off the fairway. You have to keep your ball on the short grass & if you don’t you won’t find it until the snow melts next spring. Course is supposedly closing around Nov. 13th. I will definitely look forward to playing here next year. Must not forget the most important thing the support staff. They are very friendly and eager to please as always.

Five hour drag

We were behind a few four balls in carts who were playing best ball and still 9 holes took 2.5hrs. It was ridiculous. Got to the 10th to see 3 groups waiting to tee off!!

We decided to back to one and play the front 9 again.

We haven’t played here for 3-4 years and in that time the course quality has deteriorated so much. Tee boxes poor, fairways ok, greens were being aerated.

You get what you pay for and $39 is fair for a poor course.

I’m afraid we won’t be back here for another 3 years.

Still a must play course even after aeration on the fairways and greens

I Have always enjoyed playing this course as it’s always in great shape. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play it this summer. Was fortunate to find a great price on Tee-Off app. The course had been aerated (fairways and greens) within the last week or two I’m guessing but this didn’t seem to be a problem playing on. The greens were still fast even uphill with very little ball path issues so no real reason to play temporary green rules. Enjoyed the day on the course and look forward to playing it again next summer. The employees here are also very pleasant and helpfully if needed.

Awesome Golf in Niagara

A gem of a course in Niagara.

The thing I recommend is that you don’t bring beginner golfers to an upscale course especially when busy as it holds up pace of play for actual golfers.
