Whirlpool Golf Course

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.

It was cool, about 7C but I was prepared and did feel cold at all. The course was in fantastic shape. No plugged shots and a fair bit of roll. The greens were pretty quick and the staff has done a good job of keeping leaves away from greens. The rough was cut fairly short which helps at this time of the year. I have played here a few times this summer and the conditions today were summer like.

flat and straight almost every holes

not much fun to play

one thing to surprise to me is many deer around the course

I can’t believe how well the drainage is at this course. It poured rain the night before and there was no puddles in the fairways nothing. I barely saw anyone all day it was like having my own private club. Staff was great I’ll definitely be back

This course has been run by the Niagara Parks Commission for many, many, years and has continued to be in outstanding shape. The fairways are nicely manicured and have this "lush" look to them. The ball more often than not, sits up almost like sitting on a piece of carpet.... The staff there, do a fantastic job and should really be commended for how hard they work. Excellent facilities there, as well.

Going back to the course itself, it can definitely present a nice challenge and when playing from the tips, this is a pretty nice length for just about everyone. One of my favorite courses in the Niagara Region.
