Gem in the heart of the escarpment
Kings Forest is a beautiful coarse within the Niagara Escarpment that provides great scenery with a challenging coarse that includes great elevation change and beautiful tree lined fairways. This all comes together to provide a great golf experience that I encourage all golfers to include in their golf schedule.
