Rockway Vineyards Golf Course

The course was well maintained and was in good shape typical of the season for the Niagara region. The course wasn't overly busy for a lazy Sunday afternoon of golf.

My wife and I live in Mississauga and enjoy travelling through out the Escarpment region. On the Canada long weekend we took the trip to Rockway Glen. We were paired up with another Golf Now twosome and were able to complete the round in approximately 4 hours.

Pace of play was steady and we were never held up or rushed. Greens were steady, medium sized and had a variety of contours and levels dependant on pin placement. Medium speed with a few unexpected breaks challenged our short games.

Bunkers were maintained and although I didn't spend anytime in them, they looked playable.

The day was warm, sunny and with little to no wind it didn't play overly long. With 5 sets of Tee's the course should be playable by beginner to advanced and still maintain a good test of the game we all love.

Carts are equipped with GPS (first generation) since the layout is relatively flat, the basics were all that was needed. The course website describes water coming into play on 10 of 18 holes, however, since my spouse didn't complain about long carries over water, most won't find the hazards too severe.

Par 72 with yardages from 5000 to just under 7000, a mid size pro shop attached to a large club house and Wine boutique/museum/retail store on site. We saved the wine for last and the staff were very friendly and had a (discount outlet) for some of the clearance wine.

Since our primary reason to visit was Golf, unfortunately, we did not do enough planning to allow us to explore and enjoy the entire facility.

I would highly recommend Rockway Glen to any GTA area golfer looking to escape the traditional 6 hour weekend round. While not a PGA Course by any means it does provide a good solid golf experience and combines it with fine dining and wine at reasonable prices.

We will certainly return and play again. Next time we will make sure we have sufficient time to experience more of the ding and winery!

very nice location at vineyards, mostly flat with some rolling hills, fast greens

Most fairways are flat and wide with very little trees crowding the flight. Greens were fast ( > 10) mainly due to playing in the late afternoon on a windy and sunny day. Fairway first cut were thick. The flags were colored for hole location.

The course was good overall condition. The fairways and rough could use a cut but the greens were in good shape.

The front nine was quite slow - 2 hours and 40 minutes. Pace improved to 2 hours on the back nine.

Generous fairways and some water challenges especially from the blue tees on a couple of holes.

Impressed with the design no holes too easy and none too crazy. The greens are fast speed in very good condition with no annoying slopes and fairways are very good too. Lots of bunkers but well maintained too. I really like this course and will play again many times. This is definitely one of best courses I have ever played this gets my highest rating.

I really liked the Gps unit on the carts. My only complaint was that there was a foursome in front of us who were trying to teach the wife and daughter how to play golf and we waited on every hole but 1 the whole time.

Good day of golf for a round in April after a rainy day.

Good condition for time of year. Greens in good condition.

Nice practice green and chipping area with a bunker.
Caught behind a FIVESOME on the front nine!!!!
No marshals around.

A course thats has a great mix of holes with water hazards,doglegs and long par 5s . Open enough to recover from poor tee shots but with enough trees, well placed bunkers and water hazards to challenge anyone.

Nice course have play many times Course is always in good condition,greens roll nice. 18 th hole a par 3 with water in front of green The only bad thing about this course is when the vineyards are blasting to keep birds over the grapes.

My husband said it looked like it was set up for the US Open - very difficult placements. Greens were very quick but having said that we enjoyed playing there.

I've always enjoyed this course. It's always well maintained and offers a range of challenges as well as a level of forgiveness. At full price, I would not play, but definitely worth a round any price under 40$ golf and ride.

Course in reasonable shape given the dry summer. Greens variable. Bird deterents in adjacent vineyards somewhat annoying, but adaptable. Extremely slow play not monitored or corrected due to insufficient marshalling.
