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

Niagara Parks has the course in fantastic shape

The course is in excellent shape and the greens are in superb shape too.

This is our second year playing the course and it hasn’t failed to impress.

The layout is a pleasure to play and the elevated greens are a nice touch

The marshalling was great and on top of the speed of play but on this showery day there were few groups out at our tee off time and we completed play in 4 hrs. 15 min., a very respectable time.

Great conditions

Course was in great condition considering the rain the previous weeks. Number 18 was in much better condition after all the re-sodding. Greens were a little bumpy but I was near the end of the day. Drink cart was out and everyone as usual very friendly.

Nice course

Nice course challenging layout. Helicopter noise really loud and distracting. We got the tee time for 60.00 plus taxes. Late afternoon tee. That price is reasonable the 90 + they want is a bit rich for the course IMHO
