Awesome

Played about 50 rounds in Ontario this year and this course by far has been the best one. Pristine condition and great layout. Couldn't ask for anything more. Only knock would be The Grill really doesn't match how good this course is but really that's secondary anyway.

This course was in great shape,greens were rolling true.

We loved the everything about the golf aspect of the trip,the course,personal,the only problem we had was the wind.It was awful,it made the game bad because by the 11th hole we were frustrated with it,at some times we had to club up twice to get the proper distance.We want to go back again but only if we know the wind wont be as bad.

Birdie-fest for low handicapers.

Grand Niagara meanders through the Niagara countryside. The course is in excellent condition with fairways that are wide and fairly flat with no induced carries. The greens are protected by deep sand traps. The 11th hole is picturesque and an easy birdie for most golfers. It is a good test for the average golfer like myself but might be a little boring for a low handicaper. It is a long, beautiful, winding course, so get a cart. A bit expensive compared to other courses in the area and perhaps why the course was almost empty.

Wonderful layout & course conditions, a Must-Play in Niagara region

Great course design with very thoughtful & challenging sight-lines; relatively open but with much bunkering & mounding that must be considered in shot-planning & targeting, and can be penal. Course maintenance & conditioning is exemplary, friendliness & helpfulness of staff is warm & genuine. Look forward to many return visits, and highly recommend this golf experience.

Top Notch Course

One of the top courses I've ever played. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Course was in pristine conditions and the greens are lightning fast. My only complaint about is that they were doing maintenance on close to half the holes. We teed off at 7:50am and almost every hole on the back 9 (around 10am and after ) had maintenance people going across the fairway or around the bunkers. We had to wait for them to get out of the way so we could shoot. This is absolutely unacceptable to be doing maintenance on this many holes at this time of day.

we just played yesterday and its the best course ive played on. But like you, we encountered workers and machines on 9 of the 18 holes including the 4 last ones. My playing partner hit a worker with his second shot on par 5 number 18. However, how can one except such a beautiful course without maintenance?

Great shape

Would love to play this course more often, but way to much $$$$ better options out there.
Can play Niagara Parks “Legend’s on the Niagara” for almost ½ this price and just as good a course.
There for when I have gest in from out of town we pass this one by for more reasonably priced courses

Conditions and layout second to none

Having played all over Canada, I can easily say this is one of the best conditioned courses tee-to-green I have ever played. Intimidating off the tee, risk-reward long holes, great variety in par three's. Can't say enough about the staff, truly professional and friendly. Lots of great deals on many sites, but this course is worth playing at any price.

Mr.

This golf course is great and it is not cheap at all. The staff are very friendly . I was paired with three other golfers from Oakville Ontario very friendly gentlemen. We really enjoyed our play, are they are great golfers. Despite the very poor weather, extremely windy and we were fortunate there was no rain when we were playing despite the 80% call for rain. It was brutally windy though. Tough course but will play it again. A great golf course to play

great conditions and great service

Grand Niagara was in great shape when I played it. The greens were excellent and fast, putts rolled true and there is some variety and challenge in the holes.

Food was excellent and so was service!

It is the best conditioned public course on the Niagara peninsula and has a very solid practice facility.

a round at grand niagara

It was the long weekend ( july 1, sunday). Unbelievably dead parking lot had maybe 12 cars in it. This is always a question i have because this course deserves far more respect and more business it deserves. Rees Jones designed a course in Destin Florida and i can't to them apart. The Grand Niagara condition of this course is immaculate, can't find any winter damage, green everywhere and ready for any tournament play.
The only knock i have is like most reviews , it could use a nicer design and more functional club house.I would recommend playing on one of the world's top ranked course designers this course to anyone looking for a fantastic experience of a golf at any level

Awesome!!!

Played here for the first time this year and the course was in perfect condition. Compared to a lot of other courses that suffered winter damage, this course seemed unaffected. The greens were unbelievable. Would totally recommend playing here. The little things like bottled water close the gap between playing a private course compared to a public course.

Amazing course

This is one of the best courses I have ever played. The conditions were perfect and I loved the course layout. I couldn't find one thing negative to say about the course.

Now that discounted tee times can be booked through golfnow.com Grand Niagara is without a doubt the best value for your money within a short drive of the GTA.

Tough layout from the gold, should have played silver.

Very challenging layout. Club house and grill not up to the quality of the course - made it feel a little pricey compared to other courses we played.

Excellent golfing experience.

Had heard many positive things. Wanted to play and judge for myself. This course did not disappoint. It exceeded the expectations that I held. The employees were welcoming and professional. The pro shop was well equipped. The cart and range balls were included, which is a nice touch. The course layout and condition are topnotch! The care put into the maintenance of the course is impressive, especially given our recent harsh winter. The layout is as advertised, challenging. This is the best course I have played in the Niagara region. I look forward to my next visit.

A great golf experience

Terrific course design. Wide fairways with challenging greens which are sand trapped or water edged, or both. No houses, no buildings--just nature in all its intended beauty.

Fairways and greens are in exceptional shape, despite a very long and difficult winter. Hats off to their elite maintenance crew!

Excellent course - a must play

This is an excellent course, very playable for all levels of players. The condition of the course is fabulous from tee to green, fairways are especially nice to hit off and quite wide, but were also a little wet. Greens are large with some breaks, but very playable. Sand traps are numerous and very well cared for - seems the traps green side are fluffy white sand and the fairway traps a more clayish sand. There is water in play on several holes as well. This course is in mid-season condition - with no signs (brown patches) of the harsh winter. A must replay !!
