Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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.

Good challenge, good layout

27 hole course. Orchard is very pretty and playable. Hillside is tougher with some scary water holes. Bring plenty of ammunition as out of bounds is close and the water is armed. 5 tee boxes so all levels should be able to enjoy themselves.

Course

the course was in great condition with every hole creating difficulties that are not very obvious on first view.

I will play here again but I miss the pear trees .from previous years.

A little bit up

Usually mint. But as is the case with all courses this year maintenance is secondary.

Check It off my bucket list

I've wanted to play this course for a few years. Finally got to play it. I wasn't disappointed. I'm a 18 handicapper - found it fair. I'm 70 so I play the forward tees.

Pen Lakes - Well Worth It!

The best course in Niagara. Scrupulously maintained. Beautiful mature trees and a nice amount of water. Excellent variation in elevation, used to great effect in the course design. Relatively expensive compared to surrounding public courses, but the value is tangible.

Beautiful views; moderate difficulty

Course has 3 9s. We played Quarry-Hillside.

- very generous landing areas.

- only 4 holes with water; you can bounce drives (i.e. thin/top) and approaches on most holes and you'll be fine

- gorgeous views!

- if you live in the area, its a must play. A long-is drive *from* the highway so the course is a bit difficult to get to.
