Thundering Waters Golf Club

Played early season It was the opening weekend. The course was not ready to be opened, the carts were not properly cleaned, the fairways and greens were in fair condition, it was expected to be wet and it was. The greens were very bumpy, should have been rolled and cut. Sand trap were awful not touched by the maintenance crews. That's why I say it opened too early, its one thing to try to get extra dollars in, but the players who went there certainly would not return or recommend to a friend.

Got a great deal for an early tee time. Paired with a couple of nice lads.

I appreciate it was Fall, but the tee boxes, and bunkers were terrible.

The place is looking like it needs a refresh, and while all the residential building is going on it’s not a pleasant peaceful experience.

Some holes are great, the layout and test of golf is fair, but it’s overpriced at this time of year, but as I said we got a hot deal.

This course is a joke. I have played it before, several years ago. I forgot that I swore I’d never play there again.

The course is a dumb layout. Tough? Ya. But stupid tough and made all the tougher by awful course maintenance. There are plenty of bunkers to get into trouble with. That I don’t mind. But put some sand in them please. The pace of play is atrocious. I left after nine because I was fed up just sitting in the cart waiting. They have no Marshall’s to move slow play along. I have really nothing good to say about the course. Save your money and pick any one of the other Niagara courses. They are all better.

This course has really gone down hill in all facets from course conditions, pace of play and customer service; save your money for else where.

Too many hackers and stoners on this course. Got high from being stuck behind a marijuana foursome and asked the Marshall that you are obliged to your responsibilities in ensuring safety.

There's a reason why this course unrated.

Nice track! I love that there is 6 par 5's. Just what John Daly would love! Should have played the "Blacks" - as the par 5's are kind of short from the "Blues". But - a great round!

Nice track. I like that there are 6 par 5s on the course. Next time I think I would play the black tees. The par 5s were a bit short from the blue tees.

I enjoy playing this golf course but it is ironic that it is branded as a John Daly course. I give the course architect full credit for figuring out how to put 18 holes on this property and the course routing is bizarre. This is absolutely not a bombers course but if you enjoy target golf you will not be disappointed.

Challenging to an average golfer ~ requires accuracy to keep ball loss acceptable. A course book iwould be helpful to assist with management of shots.

Early morning not recommended as course very wet. Bunkers a little short on sand.

I payed 42 $ a person on golf now plus tax

So definitely the best course for that price..

if you hate sand you'll love this course. Basically every hole has sand on both sides and decent amount of water as well

But best course ever and I hope to return soon

Played this course 7 yrs ago and couldn't wait to play again with family. Fairways were green and full, but didn't get much roll. Rough has been let grow as well as undwrbrush. Kiss any errand tee shots goodbye Greens were full, green and speedy. Couldn't get a pitch closer than 10 feet, which left me lots of bogeys. Bummer. Played on two didifferent days and didn't see a Marshall to keep the groups from lagging behind. Snack bar wasn't ready to go wgen we teed up i@7:50. Ate a cold muffin.

I heard they chopped up the coarse but I very much enjoyed the round . Its not your typical drive , chip , putt coarse. Every hole is a new challenge . You need to know your irons and keep the big dog in the bag .

The course is great, very well maintained and the staff was very friendly. The only issue that we had was that we teed off right behind a tournament so the pace of play was very slow and the round took about 6 and half hours. I wish there would have been a way to tell that we would have been playing on the same day of a tournament before booking.

Great course

Great Staff

And was matched up with two great guys.

Thundering Waters has been much maligned since it first opened. It opened too soon and then of course the housing development forced some changes to the layout (Shortened the course and took out the range).

Which gets me to my review.

Prior to my round all that I ever heard about the golf course was mostly negative feedback. However, after playing the course for the first time I fail to see what all of the negativity was about. The conditions of the course was fantastic especially considering the amount of rainfall that we had the night before. The greens rolled true and the tee boxes are even (#10 could use better tee box rotation).

The staff was friendly enough although the Starter came off as a little bit of a sarcastic type which could be misconstrued by some guests. Carts were well appointed and never had any issue. The Pace of Play was fantastic (somehow I was a single) and overall I loved the course. Then there was my rate...

I took advantage of a $8 Hot Deal. A fun round on a very nice golf course!!!

Fairways a little tight (narrow) in spots. Fairways were soft this day, balls did not run; could be just the weather this season. Greens were biting, yet fast.

Excellent course. Will definitely go back. BUT. While we waited to tee off on an early hole, grounds worker was cutting women's tee box in front of us. He never even acknowledged that we were there even though he looked right at us every time he turned his mower our way, and continued cutting while we stood there waiting. Finally playing partner just hit his ball while cutting still going on. I understand that upkeep is necessary but I have never been to a course where they didn't stop while you hit and then finish once you were gone.
