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

Great Course

After hearing about Whirlpool Golf Course over the past several years, I finely got my chance to play this course, what a treat!!! The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable.The course was in great condition, what you see is what you get, all of the greens were consistent when rolling the ball and the pace of play was perfect. If you get the chance you need to play this course!!!

(P.S. Only an hour from Mississauga!!)

Great course with a few issues

Love the course with great staff, but the helicopters constantly flying overhead are a bit irritating! The course is a bit rough in places and the half way house closed a bit early for my liking. Other than that will probably be back!

Sorry about the helicopters, they can be noisy at times. As for the halfway hours, we'll look into this right away. Glad to hear you enjoyed your round.

A favorite

Great day. A little slow at times but not unreasonably . Great shape, nice greens. Will play this golf course again. Just enough water hazards, and sand traps.

Beautiful club house .

Great Day

Arrived at Whirlpool Golf Course a little early for our tee time and we were asked if we would like to start early. Course was in fantastic shape and the staff was friendly and courteous. I would recommend Whirpool to anyone looking for a great day of golf with some long par 3 holes.

Classic Thompson Layout

Tremendous value for a municipal course. Very challenging layout, but very playable for a wide variety of skill levels.
