happy to be here

First time on this course. Conditions were fine and layout not too challenging for an intermediate player and good pace of play. Pretty good value for the money. Friendly staff.

Nice course

Played early in the morning, they must have watered like crazy as fairways were soaked, didn't expect this in October. Course was in good shape except for the bunkers which were wet and not raked.
Range was closed as there was a tournament that was starting at noon, we were there at 8! Staff said no one to pick up balls...
No beverage cart.

Will play again next year

One of my favorites

I really enjoy playing royal Niagara. The course is very well designed and it plays very tough. I would play here more often if they had deals

Good layout, slow pace of play, average conditions

Disappointing as the layout could be great, but the pace of play was terrible (5hrs 10) and we did not see a single marshall all round. Staff seemed limited and disinterested. Cart girl went home at 5pm, not great as play so slow. Great potential but course conditions average, many greens with issues.

Wet conditions but playable

It was cartpath only, course was in decent condition considering all the rain locally this year. Found this course challenging for my skill set but had fun being challenged, still broke 100

Course does not accommodate handicapped players

First time to the course with with 3 friends one of which recently had a kidney removed and is still not back up to full strength. On arrival we were informed that it was cart path only so for my friend we asked for a handicapped flag and were told that the course will not accommodate handicapped players when it is cart path only.
We thought that was very strange not to accommodate a guest and found it even stranger since there was no standing on the course at all except for 3 sand traps.
Cart path only in almost perfect conditions makes no sense at all. And because of that the round lasted 5 hours.
Tee boxes all in bad shape and most are slanted.
Greens are full of ball marks and don't seemed to be repaired.

Just awful

From pro shop check in to awful conditions. Clearly a coarse interested in vacation crowd who haven’t gambled their money away . It’s horrible value horrible fairways and rough and in a cost reduction situation they removed bunkers and let weeds grow over as though they planed grass bunkers . I would quit golf if that was the last coarse left on earth .

Really Nice Course

Great course. Picturesque with challenging holes. I've played 3 times mid-week and all 3 times we pretty much had the course to ourselves.

Everything was great, the only complaints were the old guy in the first tee around 920 when we teed off. Was really miserable and a unfriendly. The marshal also seemed to hover abit when our pace of play was under 15 mins a hole and I was walking, maybe just read into that too much. Course was fantastic shape, all other staff was very friendly. I’ll be back!

Great Course & Staff

The Escarpment course was in fantastic condition. Fellow golfers were friendly and allowed fast players to play through without fuss.
I played independently, and it took me 1 hour and 10 minutes (I just started golfing consistently this year, so I'm relatively new).
