The White Orchard Course is one of three challenging nines at The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club (formerly known as Peninsula Lakes Golf Club). The course's layout features tricky elevation changes and there are also sand traps and bunkers bordering the greens and fairways. Like the other two courses, the White Orchard features several lakes but it is flatter, straighter, and more narrow than the other nines. It also plays a bit longer. The par-3 sixth is a scenic challenge with an elevated tee that looks upon a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water. The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club is garnering a loyal following for the interesting challenges offered by its 27 unique holes.

Amazing

I had a absolutely amazing day. The Marshal was extremely accommodating. Gave me lots of time to warm up before I went out even though I just made my tee time. He was so pleasant, he literally made my day. Course is beautiful and now that it's the hawk and no longer peninsula lakes the cost makes much more sense. $155 instead of $350. A gem and i can't wait to go back.

Perfect Day

Amazing upgrades all around the course. Absolute showcase of what a Niagara course can be when such a significant investment is made. Could use a first cut of rough so balls that slip off the fairway aren't punished so much, but otherwise a fair test. Would like to see a local rate for residents in the immediate area.

Great game at the hawk

Me and my buddy played here on Saturday and ended up being a gorgeous day out, and the course was an absolute pristine condition

The only thing I would have to comment is just on the cost. I understand that golf is just getting expensive nowadays, but as a casual golfer and a father, it’s very tough to justify paying the original price of $300 plus for a round of golf if they keep it at about $120 around with car included, I would play here every single time I played the course is beautiful. I really have nothing bad to say about it. I recommend getting out and playing here for sure. I wanna come back and try the red course. We played blue and white and again very very very nice area. Very wonderful course. Just the price was high. We were lucky we got the deal of the 155 around. I just asked that it’d be dropped just a little bit so I could justify coming there more.

I was able to play at a reduced rate of $120 which was great value. Not sure about the $350 posted rate though.

The Hawk

Overall experience at the newly transformed Pen Lakes Golf course, now called the Hawk, was a fantastic experience.

The customer service really shines at the course, the pro shop, starters, Marshall's and on course cart personal are exceptional. Made every feel welcome, had some laughs and enjoyed a great day on the course.

The greens are phenomenal, they run quick and true. A couple of the holes confused me on the Red Tallon. Play started to back up on the first 5 holes because they are short par 4's or 5's. Holes 2 & 5 are driveable par 4's (someone in or group accomplished both), hole 3 is a short par 3, hole 4 is a very short par 5 (we had less than 160 after our drives), and hole 1 is almost driveable. Pace slowed during these 5 holes.

I will definitely be back, would like to play the other nine, white orchard, it has also been fully redone.

Thank you for a great experience.

Good but not great

Greens tough to sick, hard. Bit more sand needed in traps. Rough could be shorter, saw where it landed but a tough find. Staff top notch!

I am a Legends member and this is as good for a change.

Having said that I liked the layout of the old Penisula Lakes over the Hawk.

Great course

New upgraded course. Greens and fairways in great condition, few holes still in transition but still very playable. Staff were amazing and friendly. The only downside at the moment was that the course has not been updated on golf apps.
