Rating 71.8

Thundering Waters Golf Club, so named for its proximity to the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, has a unique layout that combines a parkland course with the tricky elements of a heathland golf course. There is an interesting combination of drivable par 4s and scenic par 3s that will provide a formidable test for even the most skilled players. The golf course first winds through heavily wooded patches and then finds its way to rugged hills dotted with thick fescue where true links-style holes with deep bunkers and large, undulating greens await you. The layout also features several doglegs and more than 100 bunkers strategically placed throughout. Water hazards come into play on 10 holes. Thundering Waters Golf Club was Canada's first John Daly signature golf course.

Terrible

Course was in terrible shape. Bunkers had weeds in them. Bunkers were concrete. Staff were yelling and screaming between shots no consideration for people who paid to golf. I am never golfing there again. Just terrible

Love the layout and challenge of the course off the tee and the greens. The bunkers bring down the entire experience, there's rakes, for what l don't know, maybe dig the roots and weeds out?. Score card shows nice white sand . Save your money do battlefield 100% better and although not as challenging, much better maintained. And the garbage in the bush is terrible at thundering waters . Daly would take his name off if he only knew.

Course is a bit short

Although the layout of the course is goo, I would like to have played it when it was at the original length. There are too many short hole even from the Daly tees.

This course is good

Unfortunately one of mr players had an accident on his way to the course and did not make it. It would have been nice to receive a refund or voucher as I had to pay for an empty spot.
