The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club - Red Talon
About
The Red Talon Course (formerly known as The Hillside Course) is one of three nine-hole courses at The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club. It is similar to the original course at the club, the Blue Niagara, in that water comes into play on four holes. This golf course, however, uses the many lakes scattered throughout its landscape in creative ways to provide a unique set of challenges. There are also strategically placed bunkers bordering the fairways and greens. The golf course starts out with the shortest par-4 at The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club but bites back with a tricky par 3. The fourth and fifth holes are built between two lakes, making them particularly scenic but they also demand hitting straight.

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.
Beautiful Golf Day
Had heard various reviews about this course before I arrived and the course lived up to its high standards. Staff were very helpful upon arrival and you knew that you were at a quality golf club course is very beautiful and laid out with challenging holes. Great golf day on the beautiful 🤩 golf course. Thanks 🙏
First class
This course ranks with the best in Canada 🍁 impeccably groomed, perfect bunkers. A little more work to go on renos. Bring your A game, must play. Staff very professional.
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.
Beautiful day of golf
Thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf . Golf course is in great shape . No complaints !
course well thought out with new design. course is in great shape give it a couple of years to fully grow I.
would definitely play again
Incredible Staff & Service
The moment you drive in, you know the experience will be surreal. High points on the course lets you oversee the Niagara escarpment alongside the perfectly maintained course. The workers approach you with a fully loaded golf cart (aside from clubs and balls) for you and your group to avoid confusion and focus on golf. The putting green, chipping green, and driving were easy to find and ready to go with practice balls. We played Orchard & Red Talon, great layout with hazards or traps on every hole. Bunkers are so nice, you don’t mind landing in one! Special shoutout to Callum & Cole for their incredible hospitality & service, they represent the club amazingly.
Great course
We enjoyed the day but it took quite long to play.. they compensated us for the delay. We were happy.. it is still expensive but thru you we got a great deal
Not worth green fee
Greens were rock solid. Fringe around green was not maintained at all. Ordered a sausage and it was mushy and raw in the inside. Staff was great though
Overpriced
Owner is an absolute sellout who is trying his absolute hardest to make it private.
Out of their freaking minds, gouging people for these green fees they should be ashamed of themselves. I would be embarrassed to work there.
Delusional ownership
The absolute arrogance to charge $250 for a HOT DEAL is a joke. While in great condition it's a relatively short easy track. This is not a PGA level course. NEVER WILL be. Glen Abbey, Angus Glen, Osprey Valley have earned the distinction to charge over 200$$.. This epitomizes GREED!! It's a 100$ course...tops. Sorry but.....@#$? this place
