Royal Stouffville Golf Course

Not only were we pushed the entire time, the Marshall's followed us and told us to hurry up for three consecutive holes, twice. Two different Marshall's Told us we would take 6 hours, finished in 4. And the starter was angry because we were 2 minutes late...

love this course...lots of water...wide fairways and controlled rough...greens in great shape given the brutal winter we had...will play here a lot this summer I hope

We had a special round in snow storm weather !
It is so cold but we have fun!

My friend and I played here for the first time last week and enjoyed ourselves enough to come back again this week. The prior week we saw both the cart girl and the marshall at least four times during our round. Was much busier last week but the pace was great. This week was horrible. On the fourth hole some idiot sailed the ball over our heads as we were standing right in the middle of the fairway. He was playing by himself and decided he would play through us while we were in the middle of the hole. We had a twosome in front of us. They looked like they knew what they were doing but were the most brutal golfers I have ever golfed behind. They played four balls off of most tees and made sure to play each one even though they were scattering them everywhere. They would stand in the middle of the fairways for no apparent reason other then they didn't want to put their smoke down. By about the 12th hole we had had enough and called the clubhouse to see if they could send a marshal out. The clubhouse attendant gave us the "well we're kind of busy but I'll see if I can track him down." Not surprisingly, no one ever (marshall or cart girl) showed up. A group of four men a couple of groups behind us had obviously had enough and skipped to the hole ahead of the brutal twosome. The foursome must have then decided that they were playing Augusta and took an inordinate amount of time to play each hole from that point forward. When we finally finished the round, we asked the attendant if the bar was still open but it had closed a while before. Never had I had a more frustrating round of golf in my life. A word of advice to management, if you are only going to offer 10% of the services, perhaps your prices should be adjusted accordingly.

The course was in very good condition for this time of year. The greens were very good. There were no fallen leaves on the fairways or greens.
The course would be better if the tee boxes were more even. On too many your feet are either above or below the ball on the tee shot.

I was a single player, so I was teamed up with 3 others, all seasoned players from another location of town.
We all had similar views on the course, which was poor.
The last time they had played this course was several years ago, and they concluded that no improvements had been done since then, as a matter of fact, there was an area that was very wet, note: We have not had rain in 3 days, and one of the vets said that, that was a problem the last time he played there.
Also there is a wooden bridge over water, that is leaning, precariously to one side.
The pathways are in bad shape, with T boxes that make one feel disorientated, very slanted, or crooked. As for the greens! they are very bad, almost like they have not been rolled in weeks.
To conclude, we did not think playing that course was worth the price charged.

The first two holes are challenging; the rest are average. The greens have long grass. The carts have no screens, which is a negative. We played with a discount;otherwise, the course is too expensive for the quality of it. Usually, the pace of play is slow, although yesterday it was not bad.

Granted it was a mid-morning start, but the pace of play was the biggest thing. They were worried about my 9-year old son (who shot 126 by the way), but with my 77, we were able to keep up just fine (with an average-paced couple as our partners). Marshals seemed to be out and helped on a couple of holes since I was unfamiliar with the course.
Greens were banged up, so putts were a bit of an adventure.
There are some blind shots, so we got hit into a few times - no one's fault really, but just beware.
Cordial staff. Nice beer options at the 19th hole.
Not sure if I will head back anytime soon. I think there is better value out there...

Clubhouse, starter and cart girl were great. Nice course. Good value.
One blemish was restaurant. We were only table and two waitress's totally ignored us and chatted away behind the bar. We asked if they were closed but it was mid afternoon. One even left the building for 15 minutes. Food was really lame as well.
Go to course but grab your beer and wings in town.

Played on a chilly and rainy day in September. No crowds. Course was in good shape with the exception of the bunkers that were hard nnd some full of water as they had not been drained yet. Grass was just cut so the spikes stayed grassy. Enjoyable round.

Enjoyed the whole day from arrival to completion, marshals were friendly and not at all pushy, maintenance staff were respectful and friendly. Great atmosphere and an enjoyable experience. Well done..

Interesting course with some variations in layout and elevation. However, some areas within the course require more attention of maintenence. Length of grass in many rough areas next to fairway is mostly long. Often even just off the fairway, it is difficult to find the balls. The ground is also a bit hard especially at the rough. Sand is bit hard. Unless you can play at discounted rates at odd time, the green fee is bit high relative to the course conditions.

The greens are all inconsistent, pace of play is slow even after this was brought to the attention of the marshall.

Fairways are wide open, a lot of hazards exist throughout 18holes. I would remmend this golf course for intermidiate golfers

I found the course was too crowded for a Thursday morning. Maybe it was overbooked. We felt a little rush as the marshall was pushing us along.

Mature course and friendly staff, used almost all of my clubs in my bag.

Played this course a number of times, only because of it's close proximity, and I think it's over rated. Very bumpy and long grass fairways, greens pose a bit of a challenge but that's it. Good starter course but way to expensive. $50 cart included is all one should pay.

Good course, challenging holes, lots of water. Not a lot of amenities - 10th hole follows directly after 9th - no chance to get food. But great value for money. Not pretentious.

Good value for the course. too slow on a sunday afternoon

Lots of trees. Tight fairways. Course was well maintained and staff was friendly. Greens were excellent and challenging.
