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.

SLOW SLOW SLOW....

It’s a SHAME, this is such a nice course but the STAFF only care about the members and NOT public players

BIG sign On the pro shop door “must wear mask” but pro shop attendant Jordan, not wearing a mask nor was the other two staff in there.. and any member going in didn’t either... the starter had the nerve to tell us there are drones flying the course to see if you keep the plastic partition in the cart.. LMAO wow ya sure

The pass of play was HORRIBLE... all due to a MEMBER group of ladies in carts that were more then two holes behind and took 10 shots each on a par four

The Marshal was nowhere to be found... then on the 8th hole comes by after getting on multiple phone calls from players and says the ladies are only a hole and half behind and what can he do...

wow free golf to be a Marshal and do nothing

Good job

I’ve played this course many times and never had this prob... seems to be management problem with this course! Seeing how they can’t even oblige to their own rules of wearing masks inside

Good value for the money

I was pleasantly surprised on how good the traps are. You can pay twice the price and not get as good. Well watered and good shape.

Fast greens

Beautiful day, course is in good shape. Greens seemed faster than I remembered. If you are not a single digit handicap then do everyone a favor and play white tees not blue tees.

This Golf Course Won't Disappoint You Playing it

I always enjoy planing this course, and would suggest to get a cart as the front 9 has some good hills. The conditions were excellent.

A Nice Day on the Golf Course

We arrived at the course 20 minutes before tee time....with the Covid Rules in effect, we were given instructions and a cart and proceeded to the starter....we played with a couple who were very nice and made the day enjoyable.

Great spot!

Last played this course over a decade ago and wonder why I waited so long to come back. Great course, nice layout however it certainly is challenging. Two issues: the marshall was asking us to pick up the pace of play on our 13th hole, however we putted out and were waiting behind the group ahead at the next hole, a par 3?!?!?!??!? Second concern was the condition of the rough, if you were off the fairway the grass was quite thick and inhospitable, lost a few balls because of it. All in all a great course, we'll be back!!

Ranger ruined our day

After a pleasant 16.5 holes a ranger approached us on 17 and told us we needed to pick up the pace...we were at the 3:45 mark and had a senior in our foursome...he had no clue and insisted we pick up pace even though group behind us was on 16th tee...ruined what was a good day with his ignorance...other than that I would recommend

Hello, Chris. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Rockway Vineyards Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
