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.

Great Shape

I was met by friendly pro shop staff and starter. Starter remembered my name after 18 holes! Pace of play was 4 hours on a Monday morning. The course has a Monday special all day, 18 holes and power cart for $39. I played with two members and had a great round of golf. They informed me how putts break on the greens with regards to the Niagara Escarpment. I would return to this course and I would recommend it. No beverage/food cart during the round but there is a hut between 9th green and 10th tee. The course is a 40 minute drive from Burlington during the week.

A Good Round

Despite extremely dry conditions in the area greens, tee boxes and fairways were all green and lush. Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways are generous, but you can get in some difficulty if you stray.

Rockway

an extended dry spell left the course hard and dry. Greens and fairways pretty good despite the lack of rain. Bunkers groomed but very little sand; tough to get the ball up with any kind of spin. Pace of play 4 3/4 hrs. Only peeve is the 2 or 3 blind tee shots to fairways with large dips/valleys in them; can't see the group ahead unless you go 50-75 yds ahead of tee box. Easy with a cart; a pain in the neck if you are walking! Overall a pleasant day; food was good after our round.

Greens and Fairways

I just think we picked the wrong time to play.

The course had aerated their greens five days prior, and of course there was no warning of the issue.

The Greens were slow and bumpy, nothing i hate worse.

The fairways were also very thick and long, the ball never seemed to sit up at all, also the turf was very sticky. You have to strike the ball perfectly.

The course was in good shape. although the front bunker on 18th was complete disaster, not sure is they are going to repair it or remove it.

Gem of a course

Great little course that really changes depending on which tee block you play from. Played from the blues and this really changed the club and shot selection. I am looking forward to playing again soon.

Pretty good

This course is "almost". It's almost a great layout, it's almost in decent shape, it's almost picturesque, etc. Just leaves one feeling it could be better. But still pretty good.

PACE OF PLAY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

the course is SO beautifully kept it is like a walk in the garden of Eden at times!
However, yesterday there was a foursome who were way off the pace and after we had caught up to them (with 2 groups between us) it was like torture waiting 10 minutes of more to play a shot. Plus with another 3 or 4 groups caught up to us behind us we felt crushed in a assembly line...

Nice course

Enjoyed this course. Greens a little slower than the last 3 courses I played in the region. Quite wide open and hard to get into trouble if you are careful enough.

Very Pleasant Day

I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to spend a great day in the country. Not only is the drive to the course a very nice experience, the course itself is wonderful to play. Everything is well cared for. The greens are in good shape and are much more difficult than they look. Fairly long, especially from the gold tees. Keep it in the fairways because the rough is long and not easy to play from. All in all, a very nice day!!

Fun in The Vineyard

Course was in real good shape. Fairways were nice and soft and greens were in good shape and fast. Pretty straight course but adds difficulty with traps and a little water. I got a good deal on GolfNow at %50 off so for the money GREAT value! Also this is a picturesque course set right in the heart of Vineyard country...post card type scenes!

Enjoy this course today!

This is one fine golf course. From the courteous people in the club house to the fabulous food during and after the round. The course is challenging from the members tees and tough from the pro tees. The tee blocks, fairways and greens are in great shape. As a single joining others to play, I've had only positive experiences. Surprisingly, the people I had the privilege of playing with were from the Toronto and Brantford areas. Quite the way to travel to play golf, especially with all the quality golf courses they would have passed by to get here. It says a lot about the course. My last round was just over 4 hours on an extremely busy day at the course (men's league, junior training etc.). Love the course. LOVE the food. And there is a winery on the property with a great selection of wines. Wine tasting before the round anyone! A must try golf course.

Return to Rockway

I'll be coming again. One of my favourite courses. I also appreciated the senior's tees. Not many courses have that feature. By the way, they have great wines as well.
