About
Located in a spectacular natural setting against the backdrop of the Niagara River whirlpool and gorge, this magnificent and challenging championship course was designed by the legendary golf architect Stanley Thompson. Owned and operated by The Niagara Parks Commission since 1951, Whirlpool is considered as one of the Top 100 Courses in Canada.
Directions: From Toronto: Approach Niagara Falls on the QEW. Just after crossing the St. Catharines Skyway, take the 405 exit towards the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to the USA. Just before the bridge, take the last exit to the Niagara Parkway. Turn right off the ramp onto the Niagara Parkway. Whirlpool Golf Course is 4km down the road on the right hand side

Challenging No. 3 hole at Whirlppol Photo submitted by Stevensiu on 04/03/2013
Course was vary wet
Staff was downright miserable, course was very , should have been closed.. no restaurant, no driving range.
Always in great condition.
Fairways, greens in great condition, excellent sand traps
Don’t allow people to book carts if they can’t use them
They were cart path only due to some rain no worries but post something about this so folks can bring their pull or push carts the only real water issues were right next to the cart path btw. Great course super fun to play and the beverage cart was on point not too pushy but never too long between stops.
Cart path only
Don’t go if cart path only. Totally ruined the experience.
Great course but
The course is in great shape and the layout is forgiving and challenging. The only problem with the day was the Marshall on the back nine who thought that he could go out of his way to demand that I get back on the cart path even though I was just off the path so the people I was playing with could get by . He insisted I move even though I was then in the way of the other cart passing. Very rude person and think he should find something else to do for a job!!
Disappointing
Course was under water- got there to find out it was closed the day before due to standing water. Cart path only (fine), but my feet were soaked before I reached the first green. Many of the sand traps looked like lakes. On hole #3 my son hit a boulder in the sand trap and gouged his sand wedge- only thing the pro shop said was “we will let them know”. Starter had minimal to say and seemed irritated to be there. There are way too many courses in the area that would be more appreciative of their customers. Sad to say I’ll never go back to Whirlpool.
Whirlpool Niagara
The course exceeded expectations with some fun par 3's and challenging par 5 holes, all set in the view of the scenic Niagara parkway. On day of play it was cart path only which led to a slower paced round. Otherwise the course was in great shape and staff very hospitable.
Satisfied once again
The course really was in nice condition after heavy rains the day before. Staff was amazing as always and super friendly. Our group really had a good time and we look forward to playing again someday soon.
Thank you
Good test of your golf abilities
Good condition except wet from watering and hence cart path only which is a nuisance
Whirlpool Niagara
Enjoyed our round at Whirlpool Niagara. Wet conditions led to cart path only rule which slowed pace of play. Elevated and contoured greens added a fun challenge. Scenic surroundings beside the Niagara river and close to many tourist spots.
