Rockway Vineyards Golf Course
About
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 Round
Overall course was in good shape given the time of year. Lots of wet spots which were pretty easy to avoid.
Pace of play was painful. Course could really use a Marshall, there were lots of people taking far too long. And no one seemed willing to let faster players play through.
Will maybe try again later in summer, but will check to see if they are using a Marshall first, waiting on every shot gets very old.
1st. Round
Played Rockway many times before and had a good idea of what to expect for mid April in Niagara. The course was wet and very soft. Pretty good shape none the less considering it snowed a couple days before It was busy but pace was great as everyone was walking. Nice people at the pro shop and well organized.
It was a beautiful warm spring day and we were back in plenty of time to celebrate Sergio's win.
We will be back
Poor conditions but very early in the season
You can take this for what it's worth. We had a lot of rain and its early in the year, but it seemed like the fairways had not been cut yet and greens were shaggy. Not the norm for this course during prime time, but I'd ask if you are going to open the course for the season please ensure it is ready to play.
November Golf
Playing in November is a challenge. This course was in great shape for the time of year.
Great Course
great course...challenging but fair
End of Fall
Here we were, golfing on November 1st, and with a temperature hovering around 17'C... The Course was in great shape, and the staff even tried to clear all the leaves off the ground before the day even started.
The beverage cart was out and about, and the employee manning the cart was extremely punctual and friendly.
I would come back in a heartbeat!
Very pretty course
Great course. Well groomed and staff was fantastic.
Beautiful course except
Enjoyed great weather, scenery and a well- layed out course in good condition. But nerves of steel are required to deal with the "bird bangers" firng randomly in vineyard to deter birds until grapes are harvested.
Green in great shape
Course in good shape with the long drought we have, green run ture and fast when it dry up, take a few holes to getting use to the air cannon sound, according to the 3 club members I played with, it only happens in September and October. Done go right in the first hole .
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.
the course was good
Do not entertain going into club house, very very expensive, I will play golf there again, but will definitely not go into club house, way way over priced.
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.
Good condition for early in the year
Overall very nice. Greens were recently "punched and top dressed" - but rest of course well maintained. Greens will be nice next week.
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.
