Cardinal Lakes Golf Club - Heron Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Heron Course is one of two 18-hole courses at Cardinal Lakes Golf Club. It is the club's newer championship layout, designed to complement the original course, the executive-length Sparrow. It is 6,765 yards from the back tees but it feels as though it is considerably longer since many holes play into the prevailing wind. The golf course combines elements of classic links, parkland, and Carolinian courses. The generous fairways are guarded by bunkers and the large, fast greens are gently contoured and surrounded by trees. Water is a prominent feature throughout, coming into play on all but four holes. The layout saved the most challenging for last with its signature 18th hole, a par 3 with a tricky island green.

Great course.
Always a great course to play and very reasonable.
Early season so damp spots and some new growth still happening. But overall fairways, greens and tees were in good condition for April!
Wet in Welland
Plenty of rain in Welland area lately. Lots of puddles on the course.
Still a very good course even with soggy conditions.
excellent
course good shape 76vyears old shot a 103 with my 32 handicap -1
Cart too expensive.
The course is really good but getting gouged on cart rate at $25 each person is not good. If course conditions are not good for carts and they have to be kept on the path then they should reduce their already inflated price per player as a cart is booked so one doesn’t have to walk as much.
