Legends on the Niagara Golf Course - Chippawa
About
Running alongside the Niagara River, Legends on the Niagara offers two championship courses, a nine-hole course, and a unique 18-hole putting course, all of which boast impressive scenery and breathtaking views.

Well maintained, but narrow.
I am not a great golfer and found the course to be narrow. If you hit your ball into the weeds that outline the fairways you will likely need to take a new ball out if your bag. The fairways and greens are very well maintained, and they have a second, oversized, hole in every green to help those with putting problems.
I would suggest this course for those who can consistently hit the ball straight, but don't feel like playing a long game (the holes are shortish for par 4, with several par 3s.
Good value, could be better
I've played the Niagara Parks courses many times. Chippawa is a great 9 hole executive track that will have you using every club in the bag. Yes, some of the sand traps can use some attention. Here's the thing that bugs me though. The greens are shaggy. Somebody mentioned that they are the same as the championship course....they clearly are not. Same goes for the practice putting green outside the Chippawa clubhouse. Compared the the big course they are shaggy. They need to maintain them the same. Hole 7 is a nail bitter and toughest hole on the course. You have to contend with water if you decide to lay up or go for it. Par is a great score on this par 3. The last two holes allow you to grip it and rip it after you've warmed up your irons and short game on the previous 7 holes. Pace of play when I've been out there (Weekdays) has alway been good. Under 2 hours. I've never seen a cart girl on this course.
FYI, I'd rate my favorite Niagara Parks courses in the following order:
Ushers Creek
Whirlpool
Battlefield
Chippawa
Oaks
Thank you very much for your feedback and we're glad to hear you like our Niagara Parks golf course. The greens are in fact kept a little slower than our 18 hole courses, makes it a little easier for the less experienced golfer. We hope to see you on the courses soon!
Excellent Short COurse
Great little course. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape. sand traps could use some maintenance.
Thank you for your feedback. We have addressed the greenside bunkers and we'll be finishing off the top up of the fairway bunkers this season. We hope to see you again!
Excellent value and lovely course
Loved the course! Staff very friendly. Incredible price!
Great wake up round
Played the executive nine in the morning -- loved the condition of the course and the staff working on it were very friendly and welcoming ! Played the blues send found it just enough for a morning round. Two impatient people behind us were a bit rude but that was just bad luck the course wasn't too busy at 9 am
Would definitely play it again !
Great for beginners and pros alike
The Chippawa course at Legends is groomed in the same manner that their two championship courses are. While the course is made up of 6 par 3s and 3 par 4s making it a par 30; the course from the tips can be challenging for a low handicap golfer with several par 3s > 175 yards and one stretching 200+ yards. The two hole system cut on the the greens (one regulation size and one two times the diameter) is a bit juvenile but I assume it makes for a more enjoyable round for the beginners. I would recommend this course for all beginners and advanced golfers looking to work on their short game and iron play.
Thank you for your great feedback. We hope the big cups didn't distract you too much during your round. They have been well received by our beginner golfers. Great way to grow the game!
Great game at Legends Chippawa
Even with the brutal humidity, we had a great time golfing the 9 hole Chippawa Course at Legends in Niagara. It is a fairly easy walk, and challenging enough to satisfy all levels of golfers.
the nicest exec course within 100 miles
beautiful course ,kept in great shape, very friendly staff. A real pleasure to play there.
9-hole golf course

Thank you for the feedback, we hope to see you again this season
The course was good, the service was GARBAGE!!!!
The course conditions were fine, I've golfed here a few times before. Never had any real expectations so I've never really been disappointed with this course until my last round. I booked a tee time for 3 adults and 1 junior player on May 29th of this year. The fee was suppose to include a buy one adult green fee get one junior green fee free, with a $5 food voucher for the pub PER paid adult ( kids 12 and under eat free). At the counter when paying for the round the gentleman behind the counter made no mention of the food vouchers, didn't even ask if I wanted any food or beverages for the round ( there was NO food and beverage cart on the course that - the Last day of a long weekend!!), when I asked if there were any carts available he seemed put out that he actually had to go and check for them! There was only one cart available so half of my party had to walk - again the gentleman behind the counter didn't even suggest renting pull/push carts for the other two golfers, and after payi g for the one cart he left the "clubhouse" , locked the door and left to do what I can only hope was other necessary work because I couldn't even go back in and get a score card or thing else I may have wanted to purchase! All in all it was a BAD experience!! The course was fine, the service was GARBAGE!!!!!
We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. I can assure you this has been rectified. Please call Mike Purnell at 866-465-3642 x230 to discuss further. We would love to see you out at the course again in 2015.
Great 9 hole design!
Well designed, varied layout. Very cooperative and helpful staff. A fun and challenging 1 1/2 hour game walking.
Love the NATURE that surrounds this course!
I'm a newbie to golf and Chippawa is the cat's meow for me and my friends! Beautiful course - perfect place to hone our skills!
Thank you for the kind words, we hope we will see you again this sesaon
Best Niagara nine hole course
Fun course in great shape and design. Played 18 holes in 2 hours and15 minutes after work in the fall. Not crazy but not too easy especially off the blue tees. Impressive was two flags on every green and the red ones have a larger hole that makes this course good for both experienced golfers and beginners or high handicaps. All the Niagara Legends courses are great highly recommend them all.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave positive feedback. We really appreciate it.
Chippawa
Fine course nice varity of holes, fairways were wet but playable
Very challenging for just 2100 yards. Fun to play.
This is the best 9 hole course we have ever played. It is challenging and fun at the same time. The course is kept in great condition and it is the best value for the money.
Great stuff, thank you very much and we hope to see you again this season.
great value,excellent par 3 course
I loved my visit to Chippawa. The staff was friendly, the price with golfnow was great, and the course was challenging and well cared for. It was a little wet but that was Mother Nature's fault. I definitely will be back.
Great for a practice round and fairly priced
Pace of play is great and the course is in good shape. Great course for kids and beginners.
This course is perfect for a quick round
The Chippawa course provides a strong enough challenge for being so short- the hazards make it really easy to lose balls. However, the greens weren't too fast and the fairways were nicely kept.
It rained heavily the night before we played and the course called asking if we wanted a raincheck because the power carts would not go out. We showed up anyways and they offered us free hand carts- I thought that was awesome.
The course is predominantly par 3s (although they weren't easy) and it's perfect for a quick 9 after work. This was the first time I played this course but it won't be the last.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that the staff were able to help you out.
Beautiful and great fun...
I started playing with a light fog covering the ground and could only see the top of the flags, a rare picture. It was great. The fairway and green was nicely maintained and the staff cordial.
A definite go for a nice 9 hole morning.
Thank you for the kind feedback about our course conditions and the addition of our big cups for beginners.
