Thundering Waters Golf Club, so named for its proximity to the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, has a unique layout that combines a parkland course with the tricky elements of a heathland golf course. There is an interesting combination of drivable par 4s and scenic par 3s that will provide a formidable test for even the most skilled players. The golf course first winds through heavily wooded patches and then finds its way to rugged hills dotted with thick fescue where true links-style holes with deep bunkers and large, undulating greens await you. The layout also features several doglegs and more than 100 bunkers strategically placed throughout. Water hazards come into play on 10 holes. Thundering Waters Golf Club was Canada's first John Daly signature golf course.

Fair price point

I don’t get why they don’t have sand/seed on the carts nor do they encourage fixing divots or ball marks. Could be so much nicer if people fixed theirs!! But can’t complain about the price at least, fair for the course conditions

Traps

They should fill bunkers properly and forget about sand other than 9 and 18.

The first par 5 should be back farther for white tees.

Awesome Course

Great course for the money. Fairways and greens are great quality, and there is a good variety in shape of each hole. Some of the bunkers are not well maintained, but to be honest I think this made them easier to play out of haha!

Excellent course for a nice day out for a great price

A little confusing with the signage moving hole to hole but do appreciate the 5 passes of the halfway house.
