Slope N/A
Rating N/A

The Hawk Niagara Falls Golf Club (formerly know as Peninsula Lakes Golf Club) is home to 27 holes of golf. The Blue Niagara Course, the club's original course, is named for its layout, which descends to the bottom of a quarry and then makes a gradual ascent to the clubhouse. There are four large lakes throughout this nine-hole course that comes into play on four holes. The golf course is challenging with well-placed bunkers, dense patches of rough, and careful mounding throughout but the more player-friendly fairways are quite generous and mid-size greens that putt fast and true. It begins with two signature holes, first a par-4 dogleg left and then a challenging par 3.

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.

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.
