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.

Love this course

The course was in perfect condition. The bunkers had not been attended to this season, thanks to Covid. Outside of that the greens were fast and the fairways and T boxes were in excellent condition

Course plays well but service is not worth the money.

We were happy with the course itself. We were all starving. Half way house wasn't open 10-5 as listed. Waited 10 minutes to get a water, after we asked if there was food and there was nothing. Its a Saturday.... No food was available during our whole round... No beverage cart.... You pay a good amount of money, these are things that have to happen....

not very impressed

Considering the course just opened after the pandemic , it was not very well kept up . many bad cart paths and the rough looked unmaintained, for the price we paid and for the name on the front door , we were not happy
