About
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.

Decent course for the money
First time playing this course.
Weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny and 17 degrees at 8 am.
Second couple to tee off. Poked around a few times for lost balls but completed the course in under three and a half hours.
Tee boxes were not mown and were in progress when we made our way through.
Fairways were in really nice condition.
Greens were excellent. Rolled true and fast once the dew burned off.
As mentioned in other reviews the bunkers are unplayable unless your are in a flat spot. They have basically been abandoned.
Fast electric carts. Like those…
Homes in the area are not in play as others have eluded to. They are set back a long way.
Lovely lady at check in. Friendly staff.
We played for $50 all in CDN.
I would do it again at that price.
Fun day.
Ok
Like other reviews have said, the bunkers are in terrible shape. The course doesn't drain well and is very wet. Layout since all the development has shortened the course significantly. Tee boxes need some work as well. If you can get a good deal, it's worth it but don't spend more than $50 on this course.
Wet otherwise good
Had to stick to cart path only with all the recent rainfall… course was wet in the low spots but usually is there.
What a joke
Had i known in advance i would not of wasted my money. Bunkers were atrocious, basically resembled land fills.. Greens, I will give a decent rating although they had a superintendents revenge with all these gimmicky objects on the greens making it glorified mini putt. Worst golf experience ever.
Garbage course conditions
This is my 1st review ever. This course is nice and love the layout but maybe pay some of the stqff to clean up the beer cans in the bushes at the tee box?? Also get some staff to repair the ball marks on every single green?? Ok cool. Mickey mouse operation
Great value friendly staff
Played here today what an awesome deal for this course. I might be booking again in the next couple of weeks. Great and fairways in Great condition.
Not Good
Course was a big disappointment. May have been good course when John Daly designed it, but with the changes since, it is not good. The sand traps are messy clay pits, full of weeds and rocks. Some of the holes, starting with the first one make no sense anymore.
Tees, fairways and greens were nice. We were not too surprised that no maintenance has been done to most of the sandtraps. Found out at end of round that we should have pulled ball from traps and placed onto grass.
