About
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.

18th Hole Photo submitted by Ernest1975 on 10/13/2012
What happened?
This course used to be beautiful. We were warned before teeing off to fix fairways and divots. The fairways looked as if we were in a mine field and the greens were pretty beat up as well. Almost all the bunkers were just weeds in a hole on the fairways. This just looks so untidy and lazy. Tee boxes were also ragged and banged up. Definitely not worth the price here anymore.
Cool shaped course but seems like they don’t care too much about it
Bunkers are not cared for.
Some tee boxes were terrible.
Only benefit to this course is if you get on early enough it’s $50-$60 for 18 and a cart. Still a fun track to play overall.
Time to work on your course
Course is not bad, but the original design was really nice. Covid is over and time to start bringing your bunkers up to a playable condition instead of a free drop. Stop relying on the onetime vacationers who will forget the course when they leave. This track could be more than what it is now.
Great course - maintenance is a little spotty.
This course is a great layout, and is conveniently located.
The bunkers are absolute trash. Doesn’t even look like they’ve ever had sand in them. They’re overgrown with weeds.
We played an early round (640 am), so understandably the grounds crew were mowing while we were playing. It was a little frustrating that they mowed without interruption, having no regard for the fact that we were taking shots.
Sometimes they were mowing within 15-20 feet of where we were in play, and they had no regard for us. Most times we waited for them to move before we kept playing.
All in all, lovely course and great value as we booked for $42 on GolfNow.
Anything under $75 for a golf and ride, is a great value at this course.
Great value when you get the “hot deal”.
I love the layout of the course and the conditions of the fairways and greens. There are plenty of high risk high reward shots out there. In addition, you can play the course very short, or very long depending on your caliber of play.
It’s very disappointing that they have let all of the bunkers turn into waste bunker and they are totally unplayable. The bunkers used to have amazing sand in them but now they are just an eyesore. That being said, I will still play the course again.
Poor bunkers
Coarse for the most part was in great shape. Fairways and the greens were in great shape but the bunkers were unplayable.
The course was nice but a lot of really bad tee decks and bunkers had no sand just mud .
Golf Thundering water niagara Fall
Le parcours avait une belle difficulté. Un beau parcours Il était à mauvaise condition, l’herbe n’était pas coupé les trappes de sable avaient de la mauvaise herbe, il manquait beaucoup de sable à l’intérieur. Le personnel était très courtois avec un beau sourire, le lunch au neuvième trou avait une belle variété.
Course is in great shape with the exception of the traps. Traps need conditioning and sand. Can’t play a shot out of the traps without damaging your club
