Cardinal Lakes Golf Club - Sparrow Course

We had fun, no need for a driver on the sparrow side, good for working out your iron play.

First time to the Niagara area & took advantage of a "Hot Deal" on Golfnow & couldn't be happier that we did! Staff at The Sparrow are very welcoming & friendly. They had no issue adjusting my scheduled tee time over the phone when I informed them I was gonna be late. Upon arrival, members who obviously knew I was not from the area were quick to give advice on how to play certain holes, which is always a bonus when new to a course. The course itself very well maintained! Fairways are a little narrow but that is part of the charm & challenge of the Sparrow. Greens were in perfect shape & at least 16 of them caused me pause prior to each putt. All in all, a great day of golf in just about 4hrs. Highly recommended!

The course was in great shape. Pace of play was good and we finished 18 in 3.5 hours.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to tune up there fairway wood off the tee and short irons into the greens.

Course includes 5 holes where driver can be called for which provides an opportunity for using everything in the bag while concentrating on short irons.

Great condition and fun to play. Excellent value .

When we arrived, we were told that we could only play 9 holes as they had their league playing off the 1st and 10th tees at 4:00 p.m. This was a terrible disappointment as we had booked for 18 holes.

Except for the unseasonally cool temps and gusty winds, today was excellent.

The course was in great shape, divots were repaired, no ball marks on the SPECTACULAR greens, the fairways, fringes were cut nice, and the rough wasn't too "narly". Another perk that often goes unnoticed - the Blue tee boxes were level and you didn't have to go hunting for a good place to tee your ball.

Not the first time we've been here and we'll keep going back. The course is always in very good shape and pace of play is never a concern. It's easy to walk and although not overly challenging, if you don't play the fairways, it can jump up and bite you. Overall, a great day of golf!

Played with under par deal, first round ended at 12:30pm, tried to book the next tee off, but was told to wait until 4pm, actually the course iwas almost empty that afternoon - August 24, 2013.
Sorry, I had to selecte the year 2014 to proceed to write this comment. 2013 date is not available.
Very bad experience, I had to transfer my 2nd voucher to my friend to avoid the painful experience.

NB: actually, we talked to the starter and he allowed us to started the 2nd round earlier becaus no any other group at all. Not sure why the staff inside was doing that towards us even we explained to him we were from far away.

Great course to work on your irons/approach shots as is not a long course. Great value.

Course was in good shape, the greens had been aerated, which is expected for this time of year, but would have been nice to know before booking.

Overall good experience, will go back.

A lot of geese and goose droppings everywhere. Maybe just late season birds? No map on score cards or hole signs. A bit difficult to follow if you don't know the course. Nice course layout and fast greens. Paid for 18, only did the front 9.

The course was in good shape, fairly short with too many par 3's. Still enjoyed the day and ythe round. Good value.

I like the sparrow when I walk 18 it a short coarse with challenging approach shots to very fast greens that are in great shape

Friendly staff, course is in fine shape
Great weather
Thanks for another great day at Sarrow!

The pace of play was great...18 holes in 3 hours. Course was over watered (not by rain) so wet for summer time conditions...some balls were plugging and little or no roll. Parking lot was very dusty...everything else was good. TJ

Greens were very good, course is very short and great for beginners. No really memorable signature holes, no "wow" factor, but great value.

Great value at 10.00 for 9 holes! Electric cart price...ridiculous at 16.00! Per person....Course in good shape, no waiting. Will be back.

Very good the only thing I didn't like was for our group was asked to take on fourth player who didn't fit our pace. It would be better to be asked when the guy isn't standing right there.

this course was jammed. Had to wait every hole. There is no diagram of any of the holes on the course nor scorecard. It would be nice to know where hazards are on the course. We saw a marshall at the start but nowhere to be seen afterwards.

It was my first time playing the facility which has two 18 hole courses. I got a great deal to play the Sparrow Course for only 10$ - unfortunately, the deal didn't state that this was essentially an executive course - 4900 yards with a couple par 5's. It was in great shape with excellent greens. Just wished I could have been placed on the longer course of 6500 yards.
