Coppinwood Golf Club is an incredible course with
wonderful scenery. Very tough and punishing if you are not on your game.

Coppinwood is a private golf club so you will need to play with a member but the guest fees is expected to be about $120 which includes your range balls and a pretty nice gas golf cart. This price range falls into the B rating category.
The difficulty for this course was off the charts. It was very challenging. The slope is rated at 137 from the golds and it plays tough. You really don't have a lot of space outside the fairways which are average in size, but around the greens it seems like it was always very tight. You'd better be on your game if you want to score well at Coppinwood Golf Club. A+ rating for this course is about right.
Coppinwood really is a work of art. It uses the surrounding area perfectly by mixing in elevation, sand, fescue and some water and trees for background scenery. The shape of the holes, bunkers and greens alone make this course a pleasureto play even in the midst of wanting to break a few clubs over your knee. This course is well deserving of an A+ rating for scener y.
The green conditions were as good as I've seen this year anywhere. They were so smooth and true it gave me a very good feel for the putting distance and allowed me to challenge the hole most of the round. Even though the greens were pretty fast, they really werea great speed that wasn't unfair. A+ rating for these greens for sure.
Fairway conditions were excellent at Coppinwood. They were pretty well trimmed and there weren't many divots. I think an A+ rating for these fairways is appropriate also.
The clubhouse has a full bar/restaurant, locker room, pro shop but is didn't seem to have banquet capible facilities. The look and feel of the clubhouse itself is like a mansion in the English countryside. I think an A rating is right for this area.
The layout was pretty much perfect. The designer, Tom Fazio, created an amazing flow to the course going from bunker protection to elevation to valley crossings and of course, all the fescue surrounding every hole.
It really seems that the course was designed so that you need to know the course, as well hit tees shots on a slightly off line could mean fescue or sand.
I'm not sure if cart is optional or not but walking Coppinwood would be a challenge. Consider getting a cart.The course rating for the layout is an A+.
Very good practice facilities, however the range was small and very far from clubhouse. If you are running behind and only have 15min before your tee time, you won't have enough time to hit any practice balls.
Coppinwood Golf Club is a Tom Fazio designed course found in Uxbridge Ontario, just east of Toronto.
