Lionhead Golf and Country Club - Legends

Early in season so many places underwater
Conditions here were perfect!!

The Legend course requires course management on every hole to position ball on fairway to score well on well protected rolling greens. Long drives not required but ball placement for approach shot is key. The rough around some greens and off fairways is thick and deep. Better to take a penalty stroke than to hit out. Greens were rough in places and would have been smoother if rolled. Pace of play was very good considering all tee times were booked.

When we arrived at course we asked pro shop to evaluate our handicaps for course per our index, not a clue. Would be nice to have a chart for us to understand. Course was very wet, and don't think there was any rain for 24 hrs. Greens were terrible compared to other courses we played the next couple days and paid more to golf Legends.

We have had hot weather and I know that can be tough on greens, but like I said played other course and greens were much better. Probably not a choice in future.

Have heard the owner is a piece of work with his staff, maybe having trouble keeping good staff for grounds and it shows.

Oh well.

Lionhead is good, challenging golf. Was shocked to see that a course of this caliber would allow a 5 person group to play on a weekend afternoon. Pace of play was absolutely brutal with no sign of a Marshall the entire day.

Legends is a tough course. You will need all your clubs to get around this track.

Over 5 hours to play with only 1 person on the beverage cart covering 36 holes. For the price, the service was horrible and the round was slow. No Marshall in sight and overall would not go back.

It’s now the 2nd time I’ve booked and had confirmation from golfnow and arrived at course with no tee off booked? The gentleman at the course had to call and get upset with someone at golfnow, he squeezed us in but not good looking on your website forsure!

Always enjoy playing Legends, over the years the course condition has gradually gotten worse, was disappointed in the shape of the greens but pace of play and layout still made for a good round of golf.

Through the generosity of a colleague I had the privilege of playing Lionhead in Mississauga this golf season. There are two courses and while I enjoyed the Masters, the Legend course was amazing. I hit a few drivers but this course required precision irons and course management. Carries and layups were staples and even though at times I had to drive up to know where I needed to go, pace of play afforded me that.

The courses are maintained by Peter Petrov and kudos to him for the immaculate fairways, bunkers and greens. Even the rough I couldn’t complain about-I had no business being in them. I played good golf –shot 81 and without question, Legends was my course challenge of the summer.
I didn’t like having to walk the distance to the range with my bag but other than that I had a fantastic experience.
Thanks again Peter Petrov; you do exceptional work.

Pace of play is abysmal. Marshalls were non existent on back nine. People in front of us were ridiculous. Waited for people in front of them to be on green before they would tee off on par 4s and 5s. Course is very difficult. Too many hackers playing this track. They should play a course they can manage. Tees are not in good shape. Greens and fairways were decent.

The Course was wonderful but the 4 sum guys ahead of us played like beginner's. They kicked the ball like soccer with clubs. The Legend course is not easy, over 7 thousand yards long. They might don't know regular play time.

Now listen - I have played my fair share of slow golf courses. This, however, was about the pace of a tortoise...that had its legs removed. 3 hours to play the front nine is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Was very disappointed after hearing good things about the course. Will not be returning.

Awesome great golf with my best friend! I loved the par 5 at back course. I will try to play this course coming this Friday again and get birdie!
