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.

Great course, greens fast

Love the course, green were great. Tee blocks need work, sand traps a right-off. Lifted and place, full of weeds. But worth the experience

Sand bunkers are awful.

Overall course was in good shape for this time of year. It’s still cart path only which makes the round feel longer but it’s expected at this time of year. Some of the tee boxes are beat up and the bunkers are not made at all.

Course was great overall.

It was the end of April, but the greens were in good condition, the golf course was great overall, and the pros and starters were friendly.

Great course minus bunkers

This course could easily charge another 30 dollars for spring golf and whatever it is during the summer if they did one simple thing. Do some landscaping n sand replenishing in all the bunkers. The course layout is awesome but man. You gotta make your bunkers playable. Adds value to your course in the long run. Please work on your bunkers.
