Thundering Waters Golf Club

First off I played on a Thursday morning. Starter got me off as a single 25 minutes before my tee time as it was dead. Staff very friendly. Great deal from golfnow as a hot deal. Course is very easy in my opinion. Very short. I played the black tees after the starter recommended I play blue tees. I would have played Daly tees but they were not in and a couple of holes I don't know where they would have been. Very short par 5's as every one reachable for me and some by hitting driver and then 8 iron. I played in just over 3 hrs. Course conditions were really good except for the bunkers. Some were under repair and then others were really hard and wet but there was a lot of rain the day and night before so I was expecting wet bunkers. Greens were in really great shape. I would play this course again for sure but I would want to play from farther back. I can see why there are some slow rounds because the course is really short and you may have to wait on shots. I did not see any of this but once again I played during the week and in the am. I played an extra 9 holes due to playing so fast. Course charged me 27 bucks replay rate and that was ok even though I played 9. I payed like 70 bucks total to play 27 holes with cart. I will be back for sure.

Wow. I was hesitant to play this course due to so many bad reviews. Boy am I glad I ignored them and have it a shot. First off let me say I played on a Thursday morning so weekends could be different but I enjoy mid week golf over weekend anyways. Booked and paid through golfnow as a hot deal for 37 bucks, what a steal. I had a 814 tee time. I showed up at course at 725 and was greeted at bag drop. I them went and parked and went into the pro shop. Not much in the pro shop other then loud mouth stuff so if that is not your taste there is not much for you. They got me out early as a single at 738. There was another single in front of me but that was it. I enjoy playing fast and was worried due to reviews of slow play. Did not have to worry about that at all. Course was in amazing shape, especially due to all the rain that they had the day before and early in the morning today. Only thing was bunkers were hard but due to rain you have to expect that a bit. Course is not very long but it does reward good shots. Greens were perfect. Staff very friendly. Played an extra 9 holes after my quick round of 18. I was done 18 in 3 hrs. The pro shop charged me 27 bucks for replay rate which was a great deal even though I only played 9. 27 holes for like 70 bucks, can't go wrong. I will definitely come back and play this course again. Very nice track.

Lots of bunkers that were poorly maintained and much too deep to get in and out of comfortably.
Also too many fairway bunkers for the average golfer. I played from the white tees because from the blues it would have beat me up badly and not much fun. Lots of housing construction and kind of rough around the edges. But I must say the fairways and greens were really nice. I would not play it again.

It happens all the time when I golf there and I never learn. They need to stop booking tee times every 5 mins because it gets way to backed up on the first tee and throughout the course. I didn't tee off untill 40 mins after my scheduled tee time.

Many of the local courses have suffered from the harsh winter with turf damage to fairways and greens. I was pleasantly surprised to find the course in excellent condition.
Normally the pace of play is slow, given the 6 Par three holes. However, this time out pace was excellent - not being pushed and not waiting at the next hole tee. Maybe they've learned to pace the first hole tee times better, or were we just lucky today??

enjoy the car is very much and conditions were excellent. They try to pack too many people on course. 5.5 hour round. Yikes

I was expecting more but it was fun anyways. if you don't hit the ball in the right places it will punish you and things will be very difficult. Risk vs reward factor is very demanding and not worth it unless you are John Daly or hit the ball consistantly like Ben Hogan. The course is not long but well designed for a good challenge.

Good course, not too long; played 1n 4 hrs;
Must plan your shots as there are many doglegs, traps & water, etc. A good golf course

My wife and I loved the course. Interesting holes with challenging shots required. The short yardage belies the overall difficulty. Given the time of year the course was in very good shape. A few of the many sand traps were under repair. Greens were slow but true. Shot an eagle on #14!

for only being open for a couple of days it was in reasonable condition the greens were very bumpy but considering the winter we have had in Ontario this year it was still very playable

Played late in the season (Nov 8) but the course was still in really good shape - but wet, as most courses are that time of year. Lots of water in play and really nice sciuptured sand traps. Great GPS on cart - want to go agin next summer.

even though we had to play cart path only because of weather conditions because of the rain the day before .was a pleasure to play fairways were in great shape and greens were near perfect.not a super long coarse ..really but still a challenge to drive on some long holes because of well placed bunkers .coarse is laid out picturous .a real pleasure for any golfer to play

the course is truly unique with many fairway pot bunkers requiring precision shot placement.

The course is an interesting layout and in good shape for October.
Great value and will play again.

at this time of year the course was in good shape despite all the rain we had the past 2 days

Also traps were hard and bumpy with ridges and some had standing water. Oddly though I made saves when I went into them two of the three times

I expected a lot going to thundering waters for the first time, and because i did some research found it one of the most enjoyable courses in Niagara just behind Grand Niagara and Penn Lakes.

As most people have noted it is a super short course from the whites or blues. Anyone under a 15 handicap should be playing from the Blacks. ( 6153 yards ) Even this is not a long course, but the layout and diversity of holes is spectacular. The par 3s are challenging and may holes require quality shot making that i can appreciate.

My group played early Sunday Morning, third group off the start and at this time the course was nothing but pristine from tee to green. I found myself in a few bunkers all of which were up to much higher standards then other courses in Niagara, and one of the few that use high quality sand.

GPS on the carts is a nice added touch. The system worked well, i could see it more useful to someone playing the course for the first time.

My whole foursome all thought this was one of the best course we played this year and would play it again.

Surprised by the short distance! However, if you are not in fairway, expect to pay for miscue. Undulating green add to difficulty. I think this course would make long hitters realize that brawn is not as important .as mental prowess.

Expected more...No flow to the course. Most holes do not line up with the next hole. Good shape, some good holes, tough par 3's.

course is shorter than I expected. most courses I play the white tees, this course I played the blues and if I play again I would consider the blacks
