Legends on the Niagara Golf Course - Battlefield

Great course, rain hit but that happens. Green were still fast and the fairways were in great shape.

This course was recommended by friends for many years and finally the opportunity permitted itself to play it for the first time yesterday, and thankfully my entire foursome was so impressed that we plan to make a regular Niagara golf destination.
The course was picturesque, the pace was perfect, and conditions were exceptional. Holes and fairways are are spaced generously apart from one another, which is nice to enjoy. No highway noise, trains going by every now and then and no choppers going overhead also made you feel that you are really in the middle of nowhere!
Only negative that I have to comment on, is the distance from the parking lot to the pro-shop, now that we know we probably would have decided to have one of the golfers bring the cart to the parking lot to pick up the other partner.

We had a 1:30 p.m. tee time Sept 17th on Battlefield and played the course with my lady friend. Beautiful warm sunny weather and we played as a twosome with no issues on our pace of play. All staff were very pleasant. The course overall was in very nice condition and the greens were firm and very fast throughout. it took us at least a couple of holes to adjust. Our afternoon was very enjoyable.
The shortest tees are 5500 yards ( red ) and for most senior ladies that is going to be a quite challenging. Whites then jump to 6300 yards and for many senior men, that distance can be difficult.
Just commenting in regards to golf demographics with the boomer generation. We believe that some shorter tee options i.e. 5100 forward tees and a red/ white blend would be very well received.

First time and it rained so much a day prior that it was cart path only. The greens are amazing in that they are super fast. Very tricky to get the correct speed ... but fun nevertheless.
I enjoyed the course as it is pretty. not too easy, challenging for me from the Whites.
I certainly would / will return.

I booked Legends on the Niagara - Ushers Creek for a 2:30pm tee time on Friday as I had guests coming in from Michigan and they could not get there any sooner. Even with slow play we should have had plenty of time to finish before it got dark. The starter rushed us to get on the tee by 2:30 (which we did) and by the second hole there was a two group wait.
By the 9th hole there were three groups waiting ahead of us. While waiting I called the clubhouse and I told them the pace of play was ridicules and asked them to look into getting the problem sorted out. For the most part I felt they could care less about my complaint and at the turn they had the audacity to say the pace of play was fine. 2 hours 45 minutes for 9 hours and they thought that was acceptable. It ended up taking us 5 hours and 15 minutes and we had to play the last hole in the dark. I understand it’s a public course and on a busy day play can be slower than you'd like, but on any other course I've played they at least make an attempt to keep the pace of play reasonable. The course itself was in poor shape, numerous unrepaired ball marks on the greens, several of the cups were mangled - just a real disappointment especially since I paid what I felt was a premium compared to what you would pay at many of the other courses in the area. There are many beautiful, well priced golf courses in Niagara to play with staff that are keen to providing a great customer experience. After what I experienced last Friday I would say Legends on the Niagara is not one of those courses.

It was raining and a bit windy when we played, so this review applies to those conditions.

I like interesting, visually appealing courses in great condition and Ussher's Creek didn't quite measure up. The layout of the front 9 had some interest and was above average, but was by no means spectacular as some have said. Good condition considering the rain, but I don't know why they let us play, and the course was packed! The bunkers were filled with water, there was standing water on most fairways and, as could be expected, bumpy greens and hacked up fairways and tee boxes. I expect that normally it's in good shape, but not with a full course in the pouring rain.

The views of Goldenrod weeds in every direction also disappointed.

We played this course for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was quiet and most of the 18 holes we felt as if we had the course to ourselves. Some of the holes are long but not too difficult. We intend to come back another year.

The staff were friendly and the course is in great condition. Greens were large,moderately fast, and very challenging.

Played 18 on Ushers with my husband. Had a great day. Extremely hot but course in pretty good condition. Had a great time.

Ussher's Creek continues to impress. Great layout. Excellent conditioning. Great value. Best part, we played as a twosome and did not get paired up. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Fairways, greens, bunkers all pristine, overall course is immaculate

Course was in great condition , layout was fun and challenging with some memorable holes, can't wait to go back.

Excellent course, but difficult. for us not so good golfers, wish the white tees were further up. Also some Pins on the green were tucked in the corner back almost illegal to put pin there. Bunkers are really deep, and too many. Golf is a tough game. Does the course have to be difficult. Common. Lets make the game enjoyable for the average player.

Cheers.

The course was a pleasure to play. Very friendly staff. Very large fairways and greens. The only thing that was a bit of an inconvenience is the parking. It's awkward to drop the clubs and park a fair distance away. The driving range is even further so we didn't bother. Otherwise a great course. Wide open and fair.

So after I played Battlefield in under 2 1/2 hours I went to play Ussher's Creek next. Starter snuck me in quick. I passed the first group of the round on 3. Very nice course, easier then Battlefield I think. Conditions of course were very good. All staff at course were amazing and the people golfing on the course were very good about letting me play through as a single. Some other courses you never know who you are gonna get out there. I ended up playing through 10 groups during this round and everyone was more then willing to let me play through. I never asked once or encroached on them. It was actually a small tournament that I played through one group told me. Due to this pace of play was amazing. I had 36 holes done before noon. Both courses excellent value and well worth it. I will be playing here again for sure! Thanks again to the starter that saved me a ton of time.

Had an 8:12 tee off time. Got to course almost an hour early to check out the place as have never been there before and also hit range and putt. Very nice pro shop at check in. Went and talked to starter to ask where range was and he informed me I was paired up with a 3 some. He asked if I was ok with that or if I wanted to go as a single. I asked when could I get out if I went as a single and he said right now so skip the range if I wanted, I would be first out on the course. How could I pass that up. He told group that was ready to go to first tee that I was going in front of them. Very nice course. Generous and some tougher holes on it. As I was on the 18th green the group that I was supposed to be with was just getting to the ninth green. I played in under 2 1/2 hours. Asked starter how busy they were if I wanted to play some more. He said he would fit me in quick once I went into pro shop. 33.00 for replay rate, great deal. I played Ussher's Creek for second round, I will review that course also. Battlefield is the tougher of the 2 courses I think, was in great shape. Like title says I will be back for sure

beautiful course would consider playing again, look out for all the feces on the 18th hole. This golf course has a lot of bunkers.

Excellent course. First class facilities. Beautiful clubhouse and restaurant/bar. Very friendly staff. Ussher's Creek course was in fabulous shape. Hude driving range, chipping and putting practice area. Got a good deal on Golfnow. Would play here every day if I could!

Generous fairways. Even offline hits can be found. Large greens sometimes need extra club.

We were surprised how fast the greens were in the rain.. Great game for playing in the rain...
