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.

Best kept secret in Niagara

Play it a few time each year with different friends who have never been on the course and not from Niagara Falls. All of us thought it was in great shape and the greens were excellent as well. Speed of play wa 4 1/4 hours so pretty good for playing in the afternoon. That's why we come back each year.

More than a parkland course

From the early tee off and in spite of the torrential rains we had a great round. The fairways and some greens were puddles and ponds but the course seems to drain well so no real hazard. Very nicely conditioned course. We will be back try it during a dry spell. Jason in the pro shop was a great representative for the course and Niagara parks.

Fantastic day for golf

Canada day, 640 tee time with a random pair. We finished 18 holes in about 3 hours. Course was in fantastic condition. Nothing like golfing in the morning dew.

Gem of Niagara

Whirlpool is one of my favorite courses to play, The greens today were perfect, smooth a quick and challenged any and all seasoned putters. The Staff, from the Pro shop to the Starter and greens crew, you will never meet more pleasant people. The course is groomed and cared for and invites all Golf lovers to come and play. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome

Been playing this course since the late '60's. It's in as good a shape as it's ever been. Long, tough, but fair. The layout is 2nd to none. I play it every time I'm in the area.
