Thanks for the positive review. We are glad to know you enjoyed the round.

We have passed your comments onto our operations team. Unfortunately with the difficulty of the course there are times when the pace of play is slightly longer than anticipate. Our standard pace of play is expected to be played in 4 hours and 45 minutes on weekends, and 4 hours and 30 minutes through the week.

We hope we see you again, and don't hesitate to use our 'play fast' times in the early morning each day.

Bad starter alignment of golfers

Course is always a joy to play
It was very busy with back to back 4-somes but starter decided to plop a 2-some ahead of us. We ended waiting on every shot.
Overall course in great shape

No marshalling

Noon tee- off and course not busy
We were 2-some.... got behind a 4-some that played so slow; no Marshall in sight to ensure pace of play

Pleasant surprise

Hills/woods were nice tracks and surprisingly tough off blues. Greens rolled nice but didn't hold. 453 yd par 4 and 243 yd par 3 were difficult for a 10 handicap. Played in under 4 hrs. Only complaint was bar staff who basically ignored us and told us it would be 30 mins for a sausage; very rude! Starter was very pleasant

Variety

1pm tee off on a Sunday and got to love the 3.5 hr round. Greens were in great shape and rolling really nice. Fairways were in good shape for most part.
A combination of easy, wide open holes, to longer narrow holes surrounded by the marsh. There are some holes that if playing first time, you will most likely get in trouble. the island par 3 was a real nice touch for a course out in Wasaga Beach area. I believe this course used to be called Links of New England or something like that. No cart girl or even alcoholic beverages being sold. It seems like the course is 2 steps away from surrendering to housing development.

Great Layout

Great links course with lots of sand traps. Fairways wide enough to be fair but once out of that, the fescue was thick and ball gone. Greens were great on front nine but back was aerated (no notice from Golfnow or course). the course wasn't busy until we ran into 1 very slow 4-some that dragged down the pace; had to talk to half-way BBQ girl to find a marshall to come out to speak with them

Sorry to hear about the slow play, I hope the marshal was able to help and have you play through.

Response from on 04/21/2017:
Thank you for playing Granite Ridge Golf Club. We appreciate you coming out early this spring, and hope that you will come back in the next few weeks once our April rains have slowed down, and the course will be in great condition!

Flood Zone

Recognizing its early in season, but this course does not drain well at all. It should not have been open as there were lakes on the fairways. We lost a few balls dead center in the fairway as the ball plugged out of sight.

It is always a challenge opening in the Spring at Century Pines. The conservation dam above us seems to randomly flood our course. We will do our best to make sure we open appropriately. Thanks for the feedback.

Bad Greens

I have played approx a dozen rounds staring in March this year and these greens on the old course were the worst greens I have played on this year or for while. They were bumpy and slow like putting on the fairway. there was no sign of aeration. Typically Hidden Lake greens are good and quick but they were pathetic and ruined the round.

Danger Zone

After reading the reviews of this city course, our expectations werent too high but thought it still would be worth the visit and the golfnow rate was reasonable for a quick 18.
this course should be bulldozed. The conditions of tee blocks, fairways, roughs and green are horendous. Then to top it off, the danger on this course is crazy; there are tee blocks that cross over other fairways; there are greens directly beside the next tee block; there is a city nature trail that cuts through the course so you have to wait for joggers, walkers to pass through; there are paths from other holes that have to cross your fairway to get to their next tee block. You are a sitting duck out there to get nailed by a ball! and the course is only about 5800 yards. for a few more dollars, there a tons of better courses to play. This was our worst round of golf EVER! stay clear.

Masters

Masters course at Lionhead always provide a challenging round! Good to see that greens have recoved from the winter ddamage.

I would like to see them fix their "starter" process. it seems always unorganized in getting to the 1st tee on time. this time groups were down on 1st tee that shouldnt have been there causing us tee off 30 mins behind schedule.

Always a great course to play!

Another good day at Willow Valley. the course is always in great shape. I personally dont like the new setup where you start on the old 10th hole. we were making good time but then ran into a slow group that had 2 carts/3 golfers and one walking; a good recipe for slowness and no marshall to be found. Food in snack bar was not very good.

But always a great course to play!

Note that there is a go-cart track nearby and sometimes that noise can be annoying. Plus the farmers fields were fresh with maneur so the air was pretty strong!
