Really nice course, we’ll maintained, greens were quick, ground staff doing a good job. My only issue is the staff allowed a 4 ball to slot in in front of us as we started the back 9. Pace of play for the first 8 holes was perfect but inserting another 4 ball meant waiting at the tee as the new group waited to play. I’ve never known a golf course insert a 4 ball between groups like this before, it killed pace of play for us and the group behind us who quickly caught up. The guy in the pro shop then flat out denied they’d done this which added insult to injury. Aside from this Issue I like the course and would play again.

My favourite city course, I live mid-town, it’s 30 mins door to door. Staff very friendly, course is fair and playable for all levels, the whole experience is always enjoyable. Not cheap but city courses aren’t in general.

Really nice links style course. Some very picturesque holes, several quite challenging. Almost every hole requires a solid tee shot and the significant bunkering forces you to plot your way around. Was very windy when we played which made it especially hard at times, especially 10-13. Really liked it, will play again. Proper good course.

For a course that is within the city and therefore relatively pressed for space you can’t beat Don Valley. I love the front 9, some great holes, in particular 2 through 8 but I like them all. Back 9 is shorter, much tighter and very hilly which probably means less fun for the average weekend player. Pace of play can sometimes be an issue as with all municipal courses but one should expect this. Price is fair and the condition of the course is great every time I play. It’s close to home so I play majority of my golf here and think it’s a local gem.
