Royal Ontario Golf Club

Overvalued for what you get. Would not recommend unless they drop the price.

I arrived and was well received at the club house and was asked to sign a waiver for the use of the cart and after I signed I was given a credit, all was well until I got to the 1st tee and was approached by the starter who asked me actually rudely to return my cart and share with a total stranger. I objected to the ask and I informed him I don't want to ride with a total stranger who's a smoker (he had a lit cig) and the starters response was "I don't care, if I want to ride alone I should pay for the cart" . I was very suprised by this and after going tothe club house to pay for a cart while my confirmation clearly states cart included. You need to warn customers about this changes.

Over price for what you get. Tee blocks uneven, bunkers rock hard and not raked.

Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and Putting surface was in great condition and based on your putting rolled very well. Played only 9 holes , wish it was back Nine instead.

For someone playing this course for the first time, there are too many holes that feel a bit like a gimmick. Too many blind shots or little room for risk/reward on some of the shorter holes. If the best strategy is to tee off with a 9 iron on a par 4 that feels a bit too far fetched..

Sign in procedure to rent a cart is terrible. No cell service in the pro shop. Needed the email address and Gave us the wrong password twice for the wifi. Fellow behind the counter tried his best to help us out but all 4 of us had to sign in and wasted alot of time. Starter at the first tee was a nice fellow and apologized for the inconvenience. Course is very tough but 4:45 was very slow and the slow group in front of us let us through on #11. Could have easily been 5:30 min. Expected better for $140. Our group will not be back!!

This course is not for the faint at heart. Riddled with challenging holes from bunkers to water hazards and high fescue. I challenge you not to lose a ball or two.
Unfortunately, it was cart-path only which definitely affected the pace of play.
Mind you, at this time of year not very surprising.
Staff were great. Putting, chipping, and driving range are all in good condition and well paced.

Course was in great shape. My game was not. Greens were rolling very nicely and overall was very well maintained. I will definitely be back

The crew cutting grass 50-100 yards behind us on every shot
No respect for the players
Very disappointed
- made effort to complain to management because I just had to leave after 16holes (9holes of lawn movers)
Managers comment: it is out of my control..

Course was in good condition. Unfortunately greens had been aerated, making a tough course that much harder. Pin placements where silly, bunkers so so, and the tee boxes not even.
I expect better when forking out $128.00 at this time of the year.

I have played this course a few times per season over the years.On this occasion, the course failed to inform myself or playing partners that the greens were punched / aerated .
This made it impossible to putt.
If I had have known, then I would definitely not have paid the $120 green fee to play this course. My playing partners felt exactly the same.
I would at least expect that before you book and pay immediately online, that you would have full disclosure of the greens being PUNCHED!!
Very disappointed that we didn’t know.
I would urge that anyone playing this course, call before booking, in order to avoid this happening in the future..

Great course… bit of a frost delay but not unexpected… some bunkers were like concrete though
