Lookout Point Country Club

My 3 star rating is based on two opinions. First the golf course. That is a 5 stars. There is nothing bad to say about this 100 year old gem that consistently makes the top 100 in Canada. Always in great shape and you never get bored playing it. The escarpment "effect" is always in play and always tests your course knowledge and patience.

The membership experience is a 1 star so averaging the two opinions together comes out as a 6/10 or 3/5 stars. Food and beverage are good for both food and service. Most everything else has been disappointing when you consider this is a private golf club. If it wasn't for the initiation fee I would have left this year. This is a typical "old boys club" in terms of how it is run. If you are in "the old boys club" you will probably have a good membership experience. If not you will always be an outsider looking in. I have found a couple of good guys I play with once a week so I keep my membership at that level.

Membership is now full and tee times are impossible to get unless you are in the old boys club then you will always have tee sheet access and can simply not show up if you don't want with no repercussions which the rest of the membership face if they don't call to cancel the time.

If I would have known what I know now I would not have joined. Initiation fees have gone up as well. Weekend prime times are lottery so you can't book specific times and restricted memberships will run at least $5000 when you included your F&B minimums.

Great golf course though and if you get the chance to play don't turn it down as you won't be disappointed. BUt unless you already know people there your membership experience will be disappointing.

Spectacular course

Absolutely my favourite Golf Course. Walter Travis created a Hidden Gem that everyone that knows it works to keep it that way

The best course in the Niagara Region and it’s not even close!
