Ariss is located on the outskirts of Guelph but with three nice 9s, it’s worth the drive.
Usually one of the nines isn’t too busy. If you play the Pines, you finish on a spectacular pro hole but each track has a couple of really nice holes.

Arrived for our 10:40am tee off about 15 minutes early. Had a great chat with the starter who was an Olympic Medalist and Rose Bowl Champ!
Teed off and it was like our private course. Group ahead kept a great pace and nobody behind us in view. It was hot so that kept the fair weather golfers away I guess. Great cart service, course was is top shape, my wife and I played 18 with carts in 3hours 40 and I shot 92; awesome day!

Greens were in fastastic shape, fairways and tees very nice. Tough getting there with Sawmill construction. Everything about the course itself is top notch.

My 9 year old son attended golf camp here earlier this year and we’ve played here twice since. Sunday October 1,2017 was the last day of operation as it is being torn down for commercial development. Always sad to see a golf course close but even harder when it holds special memories.

Basically played 9 holes on my lunch; 70 minutes. Caught the couple ahead and they let me play threw. I was by myself and the course is in great shape and 70 minutes for 9 is glorious!

Discovered a gem only 20km from my door. Had a great round playing 2 of the 3 9s; Willows then Pines. Was surprised to see a Great Blue Heron guarding my birdie putt (missed it) on the Willows 8th! Very fast play, some tricky greens and some very nice holes. Lots of Geese on The Pines 2, they were safe on grass as I put two in the long pond beside the fairway. Other than that, all good!
