Tough but fun challenge

The course is in fantastic shape. There is a nice variety to the holes, with differing distances and doglegs adding character to the course. I find the regular cost a bit high, but with a reduced rate through GolfNow is a fun round. Fairways can be a bit tight, so be prepared to lose a few balls if you don't hit it straight.

Lunch

Food could be better but I'm picky that way, beautiful view of the 9th and 18th hole from the clubhouse patio.
Lost a few balls found a whole bunch.

Conditions were excellent

The course was in great shape. Pace was a bit slow, but we finished in just over 4 hours, so it wasn't too bad. I blame the scheduler. He had a 3-some, followed by a twosome, and a single, and then a 3-some. Two holes ahead of us had a gap of at least 3 holes. Marshall should have been all over this. We didn't see one. Otherwise, everything else was good. Coffee was also not so good.

Hot

Too much sand on Teebox and Greens. Very slow pace of play, may of been because of heat. Greens were in rough shape, why can't people fix their ball marks, its common courtesy.

Pin placements

I've played RO many times before and have enjoyed it thoroughly; great course - - challenging but fair. That was until yesterday; the pin placements were just way to difficult to hit, especially on 18 where it was impossible to hold the green if faced with a downhill putt. I was lucky to at least stay on the fringe, unlike my playing partners, who ended up at the bottom of the hill.
Overall, we were happy with everything else... But it seemed like someone was having too much fun placing the pins.

Don't go for the food!

I've played this course many times and it is fun to play. For the first time, I had lunch with a business guest before the round - what a mistake! I have a gluten-free requirement and this kitchen is stuck in the stone age. The only option was salad - oh well. I ordered the greek salad ($6.95) with grilled chicken (extra $6.95) and received a side salad with a few chunks of chicken on top. So, if you are planning an event or, god forbid, a wedding - do your homework as they jip you on the food.

Golf was great however, like the course and will play it again.

Terrible greens

Not worth the advertised price of $100 +
Greens in really poor shape and look like they havent been rolled.
Too many fresh and old pitch marks to count.
Carts not checked before round, no water in club cleaner and little sand in divot box.
Overall not worth the price.
Dissapointed especially as its a Kaneff course that is supposed to set a higher standard

Nice Track, but slow pace

- Nice lay out
- Fun to play
- Course condition was good
- Green was slow
- Tee Off at 9:50, pace was slow, twosome in front of us lest after 5 holes due to slow play. We had to wait virtually every shot.
- will try to find a tee time much earlier next time.
- if the pace was faster, this course would be really really fun to play.

A Very Challenging Track

Beautiful course in great condition. We played early and finished just under 4 hours. Felt like we were the only ones on course. Very satisfying round.

Can find better course for the value

Course is beaten up. Tee box have huge divots. Grounds crew maintain the course while you're playing instead of pulling aside or stop the mower while you're putting.

lack of Marshal

Amazing day, great conditions and the course was in excellent condition also. The pace of play was really slow. The foursome in front of us was taking mulligans every hole playing from the gold tee's. Didn't see a marshal all day, the only thing that ruined almost a perfect day

Great course. Greens crew need some etiquette lessons.

This course was a lot of fun to play and was a good challenge. It was in great shape and the greens really challenge your game. Only negative was the lack of etiquette of greens crew. Staring to mow tees when we were preparing to hit. Mowing around fringe when we were putting. We didn't need silence but be respectful.

Great Course at Discounted Price

The one problem with Royal Ontario is that it takes a long time to play. Fortunately, this time my partner and I were able to play through several foursomes, thank you to all that let us through.

The course was in great condition except for sand bunkers that were thin,
