Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Legends

Pace of play very slow. No marshalls seen anywhere on course

This course has some holes that I don't care for, 2,6, and 16 but other than that it's quite good. It's very tough, and was in nice condition. They have changed the 9's around which makes good sense. The hole that used to be #1 was to difficult for a starting hole and made for slow play right off the start. Over the years as the trees have matured the course has gotten much tighter. They need to cut some trees down and cut others back in order for the course much more playable.

Teed off at 9:36 Sat am - Incredibly slow - Took 1 hour to play 3 holes. Called Proshop for refund as its no fun playing a 6 hour round. Staff was excellent in providing us with a rain check and we quit and went in for a pint.
Changing the front and back nines does not make sense - yes the 1st hole is now easier than the 10th but the 2nd and 3rd are tough holes and really slow things down. The 10th is a tough starting hole but the 11th, 12th etc are pretty easy and I've never had issues at Lionhead with extreme slowness until now. Please consider switching it back. Also, it would help if signs were on the tees that told what yardages were to hazards ie include distance to creek hazard on 2 and 3 tee blocks. Could also use marshalls on 2 and 3 to get things moving. Great course just needs to be sped up.

For the price they are charging the course was in terrible shape. The bunkers were so bad.

I booked legends and found out at the course the greens were just aerated 2 days before so we switched to the Masters course but paid for the Legends course. We should have been notified before hand of that and been offered some type of reimbursement

Greens at Lionhead Legends were in the worst shape I have seen them since the course opened for play. Had been punched a month ago and many still not well recovered. Slow and patchy in many spots. I know it's fall but many bunkers full of leaves. Just not up to the usual Lionhead standard.

The weather was great.

For the most part the course is in good shape except for the bunkering, which from storms over the past months have little or no sand in them, with landscape cloth and roots visible on some

They need to renew the sand, remove the big stones and maintain the course

Other than this, the rest is OK

The legends at Lionhead is a very challenging course. If forces you to double think your shot and club selection. Remember to bring extra golf balls as this is not a forgiving course.

I would definitely play it again

A top notch public course that is always a pleasure to play. One small complaint is that we did not see the beverage cart for the entire back 9. Being that it was over 30 degrees celsius, we suffered as a result. This should not happen on a course of this level.

That was the slowest round of golf to date. 5.5 hours to play 18 holes. Challenging course, not for beginners

First impression......starter was rude. Would not let us take the golf cart to the driving range. Held us up for no good reason.....just not friendly at all. Golf course charges for range balls....at this price point you should not be charged for golf balls. Golf course does not take cash....just a strange rule that again is not customer friendly (why would you limit how you get paid). Some holes had aerated greens........this should have been communicated before we teed off. Bottom line the policies and attitudes at this place do not make you feel like they care about the customer or the customer experience. Maybe this comes from management......I won't be back. If I am going to spend my hard earned money to golf I want the place to at least act like they care that I have chosen their course.

Played the legends and was very disappointed with the course conditions.

Seems to me this course will be turned into housing in the near future because there not spending money on the course.

Don't recommend and won't play again.

I remember when this place's philosophy was that it was a private club experience for everyone..

Well they sure got rid of that credo. Staff were indifferent at best,. It was complete chaos trying to get to the tee. Maybe put a starter on the first tee to explain the course., welcome you etc.

Course was slow from the start waiting 10 minutes on every tee, people playing tee's they had no business playing. If you can't hit a drive 200 yards why they heck are you playing the blue tee's??? Of course no marshalls to keep things moving.. but a load of cart girls..can't miss out on a profit opportunity.

The course itself was in ok shape. It had rained the day before, so some wet was expected, but sme of the fairways were saturated. The greens were mediocre, they were true, but slow, full of ball marks and patchy. The sand is horrible, to much like sandbox sand and grass clipping all over the fairway. The layout is ok, but too many similar holes and too many forced lay-ups if you play the whites (Blue's were almost the same...The signae from hole to hole was horrible. Maybe turn the signs towards you so you can actually read them.

Overall disappointing, this place used to be the moel for a top notch public course, they set the standard when they opened. Obviously profit and tournament golf i their focus and if that's there choice, then fine, it is what it is, just don't expect myself or anyone I know to play it again there are several courses in te GTA that are much better value for your money. Oh well, I am sure it won't be long until it' gone, with house replacing it.

The Legends course is a challenging layout that lured me back several times during my 8 week stay in Toronto. I had to hit every shot in the bag and pull off some good sand saves to get under 90. Most mis hits are punished with lateral hazards, which tends to slow the pace. Not a course I would recommend to newer players. The Masters course may suit them better. Some of the toughest uphill approaches I've ever played. Lost a few balls, but worth it! Course was in excellent shape. Friendly staff.

I used to play Legends 6 or 7 times a year, however this year only once so far. They have reversed the order of the nines for some reason, the signage is confusing now. Several paths are blocked off. The Greens were in poor shape with bare patches and dozens of divot marks. It looked like people had been dancing around the holes with golf shoes. I saw the Marshall once during my 5:00 hour fourteen holes. That's right, left after 13 and that's how slow it was. Told the cart server several times how slow it was, but they couldn't do anything. The group in front of us needed to be moved up a hole at least. A general lack of concern by the course. It seems like the Marshalls are their for free golf and little else. A real shame because this used to be a really good course. Not worth$50, let alone $90.

First time at this course. Was in excellent condition. Very challenging but enjoyable to play
