Other then the interest in not compensating us for a 5hr 30min round

The course is in amazing shape and challenging but also not harsh, the staff are friendly but the marshaling team needs to be trained in course management when it comes to having tournaments that are very slow. To be fair we started the round at 3:30 pm behind a large tournament that took us till 6:30 to finish 9 and made it to the 16th at 8 which if we kept on that pace would have been enough to squeak in just in time. We came apon the 17th to the whole tournament standing around doing god only knows what , we just skipped the last two holes and proceeded to mention to the staff our frustrations over the lack of control over the group and all we got in response was what can we do. Wasn't something I was expecting from a highend course that promotes itself as one and even heard a story from the staff about a member leaving after three holes because of the same group. Even left a message with the office about the experience along with my number and haven't heard boo from anyone so either we are out in left field or no one cares, could be a combo of both. Anyways, call ahead to see who is there before going but the course itself is very nice.

always great

The fairways were in great condition and the greens were fast and true. A little slow on the second nine, but an enjoyable round of golf.

Gem in Niagara

Every year a group of friends and i go to the falls for our annual golf outing. Grand Niagara is our top destination course to play. The layout of the course is one that will challenge you throughout your round and offer you a variety of tough holes. The driving range is large and accommodating. The only down fall to this course is the Clubhouse could be larger and i am sure that is in the future plans for the facility. Again this is (i think) one of the gems in the Niagara golf area.

Best course in Niagara

I have a place down in NOTL and played a number of the better courses in the area but still have not found a course better than Grand Niagara. Yet again, the course was in excellent condition, the staff are friendly and the course is wonderful. If you're planning on only playing one round in Niagara, this is the course you should play....

Best in Niagara

This course is a MUST play when I'm in Niagara. The course is challenging to the average golfer but fair. This was the fourth time I have played it and it was once again in great shape. Kudos to the greens keeper and his team.

The only sad thing is that they really need a better clubhouse and pro shop.

Falls Golf at its finest

Grand Niagara was a great course, challenging layout and in great condition. Greens rolled fast and true. Grass range+++ and short game/putting green were great warm up amenities. Paired with a friendly group of Canadians, was great day in Ontario.

Best Course in Niagara

Great course very challenging. Staff is excellent from the time you arrive and until your finished the round. If I need to say something negative is that no food service in the morning.

A Must Play

Hands down the best course in the Niagara Region, Grand Niagara is a must play for anyone coming to the region. A beautiful Rees Jones design full of opportunities to put up a great score with greens that roll extremely true. From your first tee shot (a little intimidating) to the par 5 18th, every hole is picture perfect.

Get there early, hit some balls and practice putts (this is essential since the greens are quick), and chat with the very welcoming staff.

We had another amazing experience and will be returning again soon.

The best course in the Niagara region

Always a pleasure to play this course when we visited the Niagara region. A bit pricey but worth the money. Nice layout with excellent fairway/greens. In my opinion this is the best course in the Niagara regions or may be in the GTA region.

A must play (at the right price)

One of the better courses around in terms of design and conditioning.

Course is in darn good condition given our slow start to spring.

Not too many golfers this day (90 on the tee sheet) so we had a great leisurely round.

The price was right on GolfNow at $65 (albeit that's on the high end of what I normally pay for playing golf at other courses after searching all the deals out there and by purchasing promotional coupons at Christmas).

I'd play here a lot more if the $65 price held up.

The rate for this course is $99 on peak.

I think that is too high.
