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.

Interesting unique layout!

Staff was very helpful from the start. The course was in excellent condition. Most bunkers were obvious BUT if you play it for the first time check the card for hidden traps and danger areas. A more detailed booklet would be helpful or GPS. Black tees were very challenging on some holes for a 20 handicapper. All in all the course was very fair for all levels of play.

I have played this course and am shocked that you apparently rode the only golf cart at Thundering Waters that does not have a giant screened GPS! Wow! All carts at the course come equipped with a large screen GPS to allow first timers vital visual notification of hazards. Which course did you play? I look forward to your future reviews.

Felt like I was playing on a course you see the pros on

This course was so well maintained and in such great conditions with the lack of rainfall this year. I will and have recommended this course to friends and family and will be back to play many times.
