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

Love this course

I play this course all the time as I am a local resident, the greens are fast and kept in good condition, the staff is friendly, the course is challenging and very appealing to the eye. The only thing that stops me from rating this a five star across the board is the helicopter tours constantly flying overhead (mostly only on the front nine). It’s manageable and more of a nitpick thing because it’s not terrible. Fantastic course otherwise.

Stanley Thompson continues to impress…

Whirlpool is a timeless design track. The conditions were pristine. We played with a twosome from Korea and these ladies were wonderful company. Al and I enjoyed our day to the max.

First Time Playing

First and last time I will play this coarse!!!

Got to the courses paid and then went to the starter who was very rude and not friendly at all after paying good money for a round,

Get to the third hole and was shouted at by the four ball behind us, screaming and scouting at us to move faster when we were waiting on the four ball in front of us very confrontational swearing and being very aggressive, didn’t except this coarse at the coarse after paying this much for a round.

I have played many courses in Ontario and this one by far was not enjoyable

Love the layout.

Whirlpool GC is in great shape, traps where harder that I remember, tees,fariways and greens where in great shape. The weather man could have been kinder, as it was windy, and a cool 15 degrees. Will come back and play again.
