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
Amazing
Conditions were awesome!
Great Play
Pace of play was slow and trying to understand why it is still above average golf fees for twilight when there is no way to finish 18 holes.
Nice Track
Played this course/ with a hot deal $70/is a cart....very reasonable. The course is very challenging particularly in wet 60km windy conditions! I will definitely return and highly recommend!!
Limited time but thoroughly enjoyrd
Due to rain the course was wet and also busy. Doesn't help with 4 walkers in front of a single with a cart! Only managed 9 holes but should have been able to do at least 14. Unfortunately the guys in front didn't want to give way. Need to make carts compulsory on twilight.
Had to cancel
unfortunately we were about an hour from teeing off when my wife fell hurting her knee and dislocating a finger
We called to cancel which was graciously received by Troy in the Pto shop
We were vey disappointed as this course is a personal favourite and we have not played here in a few years.
Look forward to booking again in the spring. The high ratings are based on past experiences
Whirlpool Saturday afternoon
Almost 5 hr round, the long pat 3’s really slow down pace of play…. Course was pretty wet and greens a little bumpy.. also still no ball washers or rakes for bunkers .. had an ok day but was a little disappointed overall
Fun but slow
The course was in great condition except for the soggy course no thanks to the 3 days of rain Niagara got. The green are not to snuff but ok considering. The pace we played today was very poor. Lots of bottle necks. Probably will not play Whirlpool again for a while just because of the amount of golfers on the course. Waiting around is no fun and maybe the Marshall could directed slow play.
Whirlpool rocks
Had a great time. Nice layout and forgiving
whirlpool round
Pace of play was fairly quick...3.5 hrs . Greens were semi fast and irons still held good. Always enjoy whirlpool, course never lets you down, nice layout.
Hall of Fame Game
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to be paired up with Hall of Fame great Marcel Dionne and his longtime manager and friend for 18 holes of unforgettable fun.. Marcel was a pure delight to share four hours on a picture perfect day at Whirlpool . Awesome time !!!
