Nice course

Would benefit from a Blue/white combo tee as the front whites are a bit short, but blues are quite long…. On the back, blues are reasonable, but could insert a few whites in a combo…. Maybe 5 whites on the front and 4 whites on the back…

Course in poor shape (upper)

I have played this course since the 1980’s (when it had a different config). It is usually in ok shape, but this year almost all fairways are full of yellow bare spots. Surprisingly, the rough is ok, and mostly nice and green.

I had forgotten how ugly the power lines are, and how they get in the way on so many holes.

Overall disappointed at the shape the course is in. Given the COVID situation, probably unfair to rate the off course amenities...

Nice course, but 2 holes reduced to par 3's

The course was in good condition and for the price, it was great value. Unfortunately, they've had to do some construction on holes 11 and 12, and have reduced the par 4 and 5, respectively, into 2 par 3's. Otherwise, the course played moderately tough, as the front nine has some particularly narrow and long holes, while the back is a lot easier.

Good course if you get Green fee deal

Played this course about 4-6 times this year, and although sloped pretty low, it always gets me, and I can't score very low. Usually, I shoot in the low 90s on other courses, but can't break 90 on this course sloped at around 112 from the whites, 120 from the blues. No driving range, but they do have nets and practice chipping and practice putting greens. Starter can be gruff. The cart lady is friendly. One hole, #4, is not very well designed, in that it is narrow and the landing area to have a shot at the green is only about 20 yards by 20 yards. It's a 90 degree dogleg, so outside of that square, you can't get to the green. If you get a deal, the course is good value, but the normal price is a bit high at around $53, for a municipal course.

Tight in spots

Course in good shape and price was excellent as I used golfnow reward ... Did have to pay for balls on the range, but was only $10 for what worked out to as many balls that I could hit as there were balls left over at the range. Went as a single and hooked up with a pair of average friendly golfers, but their cart stalled around the 6th hole. The proshop sent replacement after we called, so only one group went by us... Overall good course if you can get a low price.

Royal Ontario, harder than I remembered

Course was in excellent shape. There was some waiting at every hole. Pace was about 4:40, so it should have been half an hour faster. Greens were fast and undulating and some pin placements quite unfair, although most were ok. Course was very tight in spots. Overall, a very nice track...

Ok track

The course was in ok shape, it was a bit flat, and the greens were a little bit too easy. There was some water and some holes were narrow, but it was generally quite playable. We were a twosome and we played blues on the front and whites on the back as the blues were too long and the whites were too short... all of the par 3's were difficult with the shortest at 157 yds. We finished in 415, right on their time, but we waited at every tee...

Tight in spots

The course was in good shape. I went as a single, and although I waited at most holes, I was able to practice shots and also take two shots on occasion. The pace seemed slow, with the waiting, but in fact I finished in about 3 hours 25 minutes. I had a hot deal, so it was very inexpensive ($48.01 including all taxes and fees, and included a cart). Very good value for the price I paid.

This course is much too tight is spots- we've spent a lot of time working on widening out those landing areas, but there is more to do.
Its great to breeze through a game as a single and I'm sure it felt like a lot of waiting when other players are on the course, but really, 3 hours, 25 minutes isn't too bad. Some of my favourite times on the course are when I get out near the end of day, maybe after a rain shower, when the place is deserted and I get to feel like the only one there!

Nice Course

The course is nice and somewhat challenging. Unfortunately, there is no driving range, so couldn't get warmed up like usual. In fact, had a noon tee time, and they asked if I wanted to go early (at 11:15). Since there was no driving range, I decided to go, and luckily I did, as there was a big gap such that our twosome went leisurely through the front nine in 1:45. We caught up to the group in front of us at the turn and the back was a slower 2:15, but still not bad for a full 18.

Good course

Nice course that is reasonably easy to get to... Played with a 91 year old who could still play! He hit it about 100 to 150 yds and could play out of sand better than me...

Walked the course and it was bit hilly and would ride the next time...

Great track

Played a lot at Mill Run in the 1990's, but hadn't played since the new nine was put in about 8 years ago... The course was in good shape, and the value was great at the hot deal rate. Pace was great until the 11th or 12th hole as no one was in front of us, and we played the front in less than 2 hours. The pace was still ok on the back, and we finished in just over 4 hours...

Played before, and it was in decent condition. The greens were not as fast as I remember, but they were in reasonable shape.
