The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club - Red Talon

Played Hillside/Quarry

I've golfed here numerous times because it's only a 5 minute drive from my house, and because the course conditions are great - but the staff - is quite the opposite.

As one of the premier courses in the Niagara Region, the course conditions at Pen Lakes are exquisite. Most courses have a Canadian Geese problem, but here, it's minimal. The greens are impeccable, the bunkers have some of the nicest sand around, and the course is challenging...BUT

and it's a big BUT...

if you don't drive up in your BMW or Benz or Audi or Bentley, don't expect the staff to treat you with respect.

They look you up and down, and if you're not wearing the latest golf fashion, forget it. If you don't have this year's newest clubs, forget it. That's not a $600 Driver, bug off. If you're not opening a brand new sleeve of ProV1's, forget about getting their respect.

I called the club house a few days before our tournament for a practice round. After explaining the reason for my call to the young girl, I was quoted a price higher than I could have booked on their website !!!!

I've turned down playing this course when a buddy of mine got a deal for unlimited play $50/golfer. That's $25 a round for a course that warrants $75-100/round.

Until the culture surrounding this property changes, I will not recommend anyone golfing here, unless they can avoid any interaction with staff.

We had great weather for an early November golf game.
Course was in great condition.
One funny thing was they had removed all the rakes from the course. Are they worried they would damaged from frost?

amazing condition, beautiful and fun to play, can't wait to play it again

great course greens were great very picturess love to play it again

I have played this course about six times and every time it was a treat, course is always in excellent shape and the views are spectacular. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Course was in excellent shape, and the deal on golfnow got us great value for the price we paid. Strongly recommend it

Fab course in great shape, alway enjoy my round! We golf here yearly!

I really enjoyed this course .. Quarry and Hillside.
Very Green and well watered. Traps a little hard, I prefer more sand. Could have used a marshal to ask the group in front to pick up the pace a bit. None to be seen.
Very happy to play here and will play again.

The course is beautiful and well maintained! Will definitely recommend

nice coarse-pace of play was very good-would plat again

Played with a member, who pointed out all of the 'dangers'.

Great day of golf will definitely play the course again

Senior player playing the senior tees which were placed closer to the white yardage which made the round a lot more challenging. Course was in fabulous shape & would love to play again this year at a more appropriate yardage for my game. Shot 82

Beautifully maintained , and well layed out with a little bit of everything including long winding par 5's. It has a very professional feel.

We've played Peninsula Lakes a couple of times and when I saw the GN deal I jumped on it. Played as a twosome with my wife. Course was in great condition, staff was friendly and helpful and two foursomes let us play through so the pace of play was excellent. My wife shot her lowest round, 84 so the reverse of the old saying "When momma ain't happy..." was in vogue yesterday. Really enjoyed the day.

had great time course was in great playing shape from tee to green whould have no problem playing again

It's a nice course. It's better than average, but it's price is not in line with the layout.
The starter truly believes it's a better course than Grand Niagara. This is a joke. I would rank it behind GN, Battlefield, Bridgewater, and Thundering Waters in the Niagara region. I would rather play Royal Niagara for considerably less $$$.

Nice to play a course where the greens are kept in excellent condition,
Played the course a few years ago and was good then but is even better now.
In top 3 courses in Niagara area

This golf course is the best deal on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, as far conditions and value for money. It forces you use all your clubs. My advice is to club up. Greens are large and undulating. Make sure to take your time and you read them carefully. Enjoy.
