Royal Stouffville Golf Course

The course was okay. I haven't played it in a few years, since it was known as Maple of Ballantrae. After checking in, I wanted to get a sandwich for the course. I was told that they don't make food to go, and that I would have to eat it there. Then I was told they didn't have any bread to make a sandwich. Okay then. I'll go without, and I won't be staying after my round for dinner.

As for the course. It was in okay shape. The ground was a little hard, but that was to be expected due to the heat and the little rain we've had. The cart paths, on the other hand, were terrible. Pot holes and ruts everywhere. Has staff never seen this? How hard is it to grade them once in a while.

Having never played before, we were pleasantly surprised at how great the course was. The day was very enjoyable with no wait for groups in front of us and some nice challenging holes. The greens were also in nice condition.

Will definitely play again.

Always good value. But dislike the 1st Hole. Hoping the new owners will consider changing it in the near future? Favorite holes are 2, 7,8,10,15,16,17 and 18. Can back-up at times. Really need a marshall out there to keep things moving along. Staff very friendly. Stayed for a beer. Will be back.

Played this course before as Maples of Ballantrae. The corse condition has improved much with the investment of the new owner. Fareways are debris free and the greens are in excellent condition.

Play this course many times and enjoy it. Wish the car path would be repair as someone will get hurt. One of the bridges looks like its ready to collaspe into the pond so be slow on it.

the course this year is much better maintained and the renovation to the clubhouse is good

hot deal was amazing

It is our first time to play in this course. Just to be clear, four of us are all new golf players in our second year in playing golf. So we were slower than some others. However, we encounted difficulties with the staff every step along the way.

At the starting point, the staff rushed us and told me to aim at the right direction. The course marsal tailed our group from Hole 2, then approached me on Hole 3 and asked me if I speak English. He ordered as to skip Hole 6, even though we offered to let the groups behind us to over take us. He sent one of his people to follow us, to make sure we did. The other staff took that example, and came along every the other whole to tell us to keep up the pace, even when we were waiting for the group in front of us.

It was not a bad course, maintenance is OK, the wheather is beautiful. But the very unfriendly staff ruined the fun for us. Not recommended for any one wants causual game for fun.

Starting the golf season, I make sure I play this course to prepare myself and elevate my level of play as the season starts. Used to be called Maples of Balantrae, the new name at least does not confuse from the nearby Balantrae Golf Club. Fairways and greens are perfect. Would be playing again soon.
