Royal Ontario Golf Club

A great course to play; challenging but not too challenging. The staff looking after the carts were very friendly and helpful.

As with Lionhead, RO is simply immaculate. It has a private club feel and is priced well.
I enjoyed the variance in shot decisions throughout the course. If there is one gripe its that the front nine has several very tight shots and for a first time player this can be daunting.
I look forward to playing RO again.

Thought the course was very aesthetic, challenging and a great addition as a go to track, would recommend playing, only quarrel is there is a number of blind shots off the tee that would be frustrating for a golfer playing there the first time, luckily enough we got paired up with a golfer who played the course before to guide us off the tee..

This is a challenging and scenic golf course. Would not hesitate to play it again and again.

We have learned that in order to play here under 4.5 hours you need to play before 7 am. For some reason they always get behind and you end up with rounds lasting more than 4.5 hours. We played at 608 am as a 2some and played in just over 3 hours. AWESOME. Greens were rolling nice and the recent rain has the rough very thick.
All in all a very good day.

The course was in good condition, the pace of play was good, but a course Marshall tarnished the experience. All other staff were top notch.

The course is generally playable off the tee but the approach shots are challenging as there isn't a lot of forgiveness if you miss the greens by too much. The food was ok but very slow. In fairness to staff, it was a busy day and only one bartender and one waitress were there that day.

I come from Scarborough to play this course that is well groom in great shape and the staff treat you very well, challenging trap that should be played by all once and you will go back. It's worth the drive to ......... Halton !!!!

I managed to get a half price deal on GOLF NOW and thank goodness I did. I have wanted to play this course for a long time but after playing it, I would not pay the full green fee rate. The fairways are not that great for the full green fee price. For the regular price they charge they should at least give you a free GPS on your cart. Overall very disappointed..

I had been looking forward to playing this course for a long time. I savers $40 per player through golf now, but even that wasn't enough to make up for the terrible pace. We were 20 mins late teeing off and for the entire front 9 got to watch two groups tee off and enjoy 2 groups watch us tee off. Things sped up on the back 9 thankfully because we finished just shy of 6 hours. I've since learned that they overbook on a consistent basis. Had I paid through the course directly I would have been talking to a manager to get my money back. First and last round at Royal Ontario.

The course is good, but the layout is very tight, and congested with a lot of rubbing shoulders with other groupings. You'll see and hear a lot of other golfers during your round.

Great deal on golf now but round was slow. Course was in good shape, very busy. Some quirky holes but overall a good track. Bring lots of balls!

The course was playing very short and easy until you got around the greens. If you went long you were dead. If you were above the hole, look out! but a nice challenge for the good to great player who can hit the ball to a target. Great conditioned greens!

I thought the course was amazing considering it had just rained less than an hour before. My brother and I had a great time. I would definitely play this course again. It was worth the money.
Thanks

The course itself was in really nice shape, one of the best I've played this year. The greens played true. We played Lionhead a few weeks ago and we encountered the exact same problem at this Kaneff property, a BACKLOG of brutal players!! I know golf is a business and everyone wants to make money, but either they need to spread out the times by at least 5-8 minutes more or figure a better way of having marshalls deal with players that hit 9-10 balls a hole. To those of you that are newer to golf, have some etiquette and don't play a course that is out of your league. Play on some 'learner' courses until you are good enough so as not to slow others down. I would agree with other reviews that many of the holes need to have better markers and a better description perhaps on the scorecard diagrams in terms of yardages for 'blind' hits. If you have a gps , bring it.

Played early afternoon. Some construction being done on the course, but nothing too distruptive. I find this track gives you a good chance for par on every hole, much unlike Lionsheads. $130 for the course is too steap as well, wait for a deal. GPS's in the cart would be nice too!

Course was in great shape but overall play was slow. 5 hour round.

Large greens with changes in elevation. Beautiful day enhanced the play. Course in excellent conditiion.

I agree with the general consensus about slow rounds here as ours took close to 5 hrs. Conditions were better than average, greens played fast and true. I am not one to complain, but what happened to me is truly incompetent. BOTH cart girls had malfunctioning debit/credit machines. I left my visa with one of the girls as she promised to see me before my round ended and if not, would leave it at the pro shop. After the round, I proceeded to wait for 40 minutes with the staff trying to locate Erin and my visa. Radio didn't work, even text messages. To my dismay, after the debacle and after I finally had my visa returned, there was hardly an apology from the staff. I feel as if i should bill royal ontario for the 407 bill i am going to receive for taking it when the 40 minutes i lost would have been prevented by having a proper working debit/credit machine.

Great day for golf, Friends and weather were good.
