Thundering Waters Golf Club

The course is challenging and has an interesting mix of holes. It is very picturesque and conditions have improved over those encountered several years ago when it was a disaster.
The main problem here is people who do not believe in fixing ball marks on greens, raking bunkers, and filling in divots in fairways, even though carts are equipped with sand/seed bottles. The second large problem is people who do not believe that a round of golf could/should be played in under 4 1/2 hours. Nearly 5 hours to play is simply unacceptable; the course should invest in marshalls who have the authority to move slow players along for the betterment of the golfing experience of everyone.

Early Tee-Time met with dew on the greens and fairways. Lost a couple of strokes to par from mushy areas near the greens. Overall, loved the course. It's got a really southern feel to it, lots of hilly lies, lots of hilly greens with quite a bit of undulation. You need to take a look at the greens before executing your shot and be committed to your thought/shot. Would go back in a heartbeat. The GPS added a great tool to know what club to use when. The par 5's (5 in all) are somewhat limiting in that it was pretty much impossible to see the green for a long hitter on their 2nd shot. I laid up counted on my short game to get it close. The bunkers are deep! The sand is excellent! The greens we're pristine and true. Really enjoyed this track -- great job on the layout for sure. Turned an old rail-yard into an excellent course. I'd have to agree, this course is the most exciting in the Niagara Region.

The course was in beautiful shape, great sight lines, smart layout, a lot of variety... The kind of course you could play a few days a week and never get bored.

Great course that challeneges the player. Conditions were great and the course was in phenomenal condition.

The starter was a little rude and I have experienced this behaviour twice now.

Overall impressed with the conditions and staff, save for the issues with the starter.

We played this course on Canada day and were a bit disappointed to find out that what some of the other reviewers have written is entirely correct, the housing developments that are being built on the course, are literally right on top of the club house and entry to the course, but thankfully they aren't on any holes that I can remember other than 9 and 18. I can only assume what they say about the range previously existing range is true as there was not one on site which was a bit disappointing. The pace of play started out extremely rough as we played the first three holes in just over an hour, however the first par 3 really opened things up and became much more manageable from there. As far as the course, it was well maintained and challenging. Greens were a bit tricky but fair, and the fairways were well manicured. As far as the general course, I would have expected a bit more "grip and rip it" type golf being a Daly course, but this course will certainly make you think about your shots and use every club in the bag. Should I ever find myself in the area I would consider playing this course again.

A very tight course, challenging layout.

If you want to charge $60+/round I would suggest maintaining the course to the standards that people expect at that price point.

The greens were slow, the fescue is an uncontrolled jungle, weeds are taking over in both the rough and fairways. The bunkers were in horrible condition. There are a lot of bunkers on this course. As a result they require attention to be maintained properly. There is nothing worse than unmaintained bunkers. If you don't want to staff your maintenance crew appropriately to maintain the bunkers then do yourself a favour and fill half of them in.

We arrived a little early for our T-Time, bag drop area was just being set up, starter moved us up, asked if we had played the course before, Found the course to be in great shape (note we where the 2nd group off) if the guys in the group in front of us read this review - replace your divots! is it that hard to walk up and pick up the slab of grass you tore up! Other then that we have no complaints - bunkers as always play into where you have to hit your T-shot. If you tend to spray the ball you will be in for a long day, and you better bring lots of balls! This course has some pretty narrow spots! Had a great day, played my best round so far this year, on a course that normally beats me up pretty bad!

Course is very good conditioned . All fairway are superb All fairway bunkers are in play. If u are a long hitter , par 5 are reachable in two due to par five distance are not too far. Only one hole I do not like is hole 18 . Houses are too close to the green plus they got ugly fences

No other course in Ontario reminds me more of the Carolinas, especially holes #11 thru #16.
Greens were very good - not too fast, and very true. The course was a bit wet from heavy rain, so the only complaint was the condition of the bunkers.
I will be back....soon.

Long cart driving between tee's but well marked and worth the drive. Greens nicely undulated and good to read, speed was consistant, tough rough, and very difficult deep bunkers. The gps in carts very helpfull. There's no driving range, but adequit warm up cages.

Tee off time was 15 min behind. No Marshall's on the course so players in front of us were very slow play and would not let us play through. Food at the halfway house was burnt and did not have anything the menu said. Staff at the halfway house was not very friendly at all. Love the course and challenge but needs better management. Also the grass on greens was growing over holes so holes not cut clean

As always the course was in tremendous shape even after heavy rains. Challenging bunkers throughout. Staff were great.

the course was well maintained, staff was friendly and helpful, played at 6 30 am, not many golfers on course was able to play without any waiting, perfect time to play, had a great experience

Got the deal on golf now and saved $30. The course was in great shape, and the staff were amazing. Will defiantly play here again.

This course is littered with sand traps and water hazards.
It will bring the best and the worst out of everybody.
Enjoy....Thundering Waters is a great course to play.

The course was in good condition, with the greens being a bit bumpy and "fuzzy". Interesting sight lines from the tee with the bunker arrangements and flow of the fairway. For a golfer with "above average" length, the course might feel somewhat short from the tips.

Green's were a tad slow, would like to see them a little faster, other than that the staff is supper friendly and helpful. Course in great shape!! Love those deep, deep bunkers, hahahaha

This course is great but lack driving range...I'll play this course again...

The course is in great condition and features numerous tight fairways and deep green side and fairway bunkers. The courses fairways are better than some courses greens. During play it was incredibly windy with numerous holes having you drive the ball directly into a head wind. Accuracy is key on this course. Missed hit chip shots can cause your ball to roll right off green, leaving you a tough recovery shot. This course is a thinking players course. Solid strategy and ability to execute a good golf shot is rewarded. Inability to do so is punished with 144 bunkers on the course and water hazards on almost every hole.

The four tees give everyone from the weekend duffer..to low handicap a true golf experiance...

Amazing staff...Unbelivable course condition...a true treat in the Niagara downtown core..minutes from every major Niagara destinations..and world class GOLF!!!
