Whirlpool Golf Course

I would have been embarrassed to have been the one to say the course is open for the day we played. To charge what they did with the course in the condition it was. Some fairways were cut but many were not. You could not tell if you were on the fairway or the rough. At many holes the rough was mowed before the fairway. I get it that we had much rain but to open and charge as much as they did is embarrassing. Generally a great course but not that day.

This course is underwater and severely soaked throughout. Cart paths have been washed out in spots. 12” deep pools that were the cart paths. Every step/swing was wet, muddy, and not enjoyable. This course needs Caribbean heat for months to dry out. Was really looking forward to playing this course for the first time, disappointed due to all the water.

While I can understand the weather hasn’t been kind, it’s frustrating when you lose your ball in the middle of fairway because the grass hasn’t been cut. Forget it in the rough. Even 3 feet in rough it was like a forest. Played this course over the last 25 years and never saw it like today. Just brutal.

This course should not have been open for play, realistically everyone who played that day should all be refunded their money, i have never seen a golf course allowing play that was that soaked. Every shot was almost under water, ridiculous play was even considered. The warning from the pro shop was cart paths only, so we walked, and i hope you have waterproof shoes, complete understatement....very, very disappointed to say the least.....

Very very soggy

Cart path only makes a long trek

Great course when-the weather is better and course is dryer

Our foursome play behind 2 twosome and playing very slow, the course is good condition for spring golf.

Got a great deal do enjoyed it. Not sure it would be as good full price.

Can’t believe the conditions for this time of year. Beautiful and green.

First with the negatives: early season play with wet (soggy) fairways, less than ideal greens, cart path only. Lost plugged ball, wet feet.

Positives: excellent reception, great layout, I walked thus alleviated the 'cart path only' restrictions and got more than adequate exercise.

Only complaint - a bit pricey for spring conditions considering soggy fairways and marginal greens.

However, I'll be back and soon. Peter

I have played all courses in the region & this is still the best.

Course was in good shape as always a little wet due to recent rain. All the fairways and greens were very clean no leaves left from the winter. Overall in good shape. Had a good round.

Out of 5 I give it a 3. The reason for this is that the course was a bit wet n muddy which I didn’t mind but there was no ball washer at each hole. Not sure why, specially when the course was wet n muddy.

I have not played this course in 11-12 years and my wife and I were looking for a late in the season outing and chose Niagara area due to the weather forecast, a Golfnow deal for the course and the fact we had enjoyed this course in the past.

Unfortunately the weather man was optimistic, never got above 8 C accompanied by a cold wind. We survived.

However, course was VERY wet due to heavy recent rains and carts were path only which stretched the round to 4 1/2 hours and we didn't wait on a tee after the 3rd hole.

it was the last open day here, so may be why they allowed us out at all. Many fairways and even a tee box were saturated with pools of water on surface and all bunkers were flooded.

My course condition of average is based on this, not really their issue, staff was very friendly and course has been in fine shape in past.

That notwithstanding course did not play as tight as in past, maybe because most of the leaves were off the trees, but i think a few trees may have been removed since my last round here. (not like I'm driving straighter!) Greens were wet but in good shape. Nice layout, with some scenic holes and saw some small deer beside one hole.

Best parts of the day were John and Bob, from Fort Erie, who were paired with us and some of the best company we have ever had on a round of golf. Very pleasant and patient, sorry if we slowed you guys up. John has game too!

Course is on next years play list; hoping for drier conditions.

We played at the Legends Niagara instead of Whirlpool because it was frost in the morning.

Legend course was excellent as well.
