A hidden gem,

This course is well worth a visit, whether walking or riding the course, it offers a great challenge for a very reasonable rate

Royal Ontario is next door and at 50% more, is not worth it compared to WyldeWood

I would recommend to anyone

COURSE IS NOT RATED, so you cannot post a score to Golf Canada

Golf Now shows this course as rated, Well, they didn't pay their subscription to Golf Ontario, so they are no longer rated and anyone with a handicap CANNOT POST THEIR SCORE

GolfNow should remove the following 'rating/slope' information, because it is no longer valid and is misleading to anyone who plays it based on this information, as it no longer shows as a course in Golf Canada or USGA listings.

Tee Par Length Rating Slope
Black 72 7074 yards 75 146
Gold 72 6785 yards 73.4 142
Blue 72 6385 yards 71.5 136

Thanks for the feedback. Our course will always have ratings (par and slope) whether we have joined Golf Canada or not. We joined many courses across Canada and did not pay our membership. The golf industry is extremely challenged right now with increased costs, over supply and less golfers. As a public facility we made a decision not to join as an effort to keep people employed and maintain cost feasibility.

WyleWood Golf Course

I have viewed this course from Royal Ontario next door, got the chance to play it on Friday, no-one around on a Friday afternoon, it is in great shape, some challenging holes and will certainly come back, need a couple of rounds to know where NOT to hit the ball.

The staff are great, very friendly, better value than the Kaneff venue next door

Quick round by normal standards

This was a 4 hour round, things kept moving along.

The greens were 'tined' and a lot of sand was on the green and not in the tined holes

Admittedly, the course did call to advise of the tining prior to going to the course

I wish they would learn a lesson from Scotland and Ireland, there they do one half of the green one week, placing the flag on the side not tined, then the following week, they do the other side, thereby allowing play to continue with enjoyment.

Great Fast Round in perfect weather

Pleasantly surprised that I completed a round in just over 4 hours, that is a first at Lionhead, where it tends to be very busy when the weather is good

Course

The weather was great.

For the most part the course is in good shape except for the bunkering, which from storms over the past months have little or no sand in them, with landscape cloth and roots visible on some

They need to renew the sand, remove the big stones and maintain the course

Other than this, the rest is OK

Thanks, we have a bunker rebuilding program starting this fall. Also worked with the course architect to start filling in some of the bunkers that are not used.

You too can play Lionhead Legends in Six Hours

The round was scheduled for 10:21am, it finally started at 10:43am at 1st tee, it progressed normally until 9th hole, where I booked another round for 4:03pm.

The back nine seemed to more slowly to the point where we finished at 4:08pm

I hustled to get going on my second round without a break, The second round took 4.5 hours, which is what would be expected.

No marshals moving things along, seen one marshal once on both rounds.

The staff seem not to care about my nearly six hour round, like it was a normal experience and didn't warrant an apology or anything else.

This is not a premier golf facility in my eyes. The course however is in great shape and is a real test, no complaints about the course

I'm updating my own posting.

I did comment to Lionhead directly and I was not expecting any great response, however ......

I did receive a response from John D., who took my comments on board and will speak with all concerned to see what lessons can be learned. John D. even provided a complimentary round, which is way more than I was expecting (maybe a discount or a free burger/coke at best).

So, Lionhead has stepped up to the plate and does value their customers and customer comments
