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.

Slack dump
Close the doors and build more homes. Course is too cramped, no Marshall's keeping pace of play reasonable. It's a goofy layout, Bunkers are unplayable. Horrible experience
Just fill in the traps
For over 5 years the traps have next to 0 sand in them. Just fill them in. This course disgusts me on trap maintenance.
This WAS the nicest course in Niagara
Everything was good except the traps. They were as hard as rock and thin. I remember pre covid that they took care of the traps adding sand when needed. As a premium course I expect better. When the dump (Garden City) has traps where you can play out of and you don't. It is just sad. Piles of sand located at the course does no use if it does not make it to the traps. Kung Fu fans you will not see my footprints in some of those traps, amazing.
Pleasing to the eye
Highly recommended. I’ll be back!
Great Round
We thought the course was challenging and made you think each shot. The course was overall in great shape. We will be back.
Exceptional greens
Staff was extremely well organized and accommodating. The greens were exceptional, speed appeared to be running around 12. We waited for the group ahead of us twice, for approx 2-minutes each time. Finished playing in under 4-hours
I highly recommend it
Staff should be more polite
Loved the course, fast greens, great fairways, traps are not maintained right now due to covid which is no big deal. It is shocking to me that some of the staff are not friendly and quite frankly rude. The starter in front of clubhouse asked us to remain at clubhouse until he said we could move on, not a single please or thank you, very abrupt, not expected at a course in a tourist area. In general you don't get the warm and fuzzy feel here, however I liked the course so much we will be back, will just ignore the miserable employees.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
This course was in the best shape I've seen a golf course in a very long time. Staff was teally friendly. One of the best courses I've golfed at
very good course
