Cardinal Lakes Golf Club - Sparrow Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Cardinal Lakes Golf Club offers two 18-hole courses, a championship and an executive. The Sparrow Course is the original executive layout and while it may only be 4,909 yards, it offers the same challenges as its championship sister course. The generous fairways, many of which are doglegs, are flanked with rough areas and there are numerous ponds and lakes that come into play. Surrounded by trees and bunkers, the small greens demand accuracy. It may be a short layout, but this formidable golf course requires careful course management, proper club selection, and solid short game skills. While it may often be overlooked because of its length, the Sparrow is Niagara's most formidable short track

C Lakes Sparrow good Staff? Not so much!
I’ve been playing CL for many years. Both courses are always in very good condition but the clubhouse staff leave much to be desired. Calling the course is repeatedly a frustration. I have left message after message over past 3 years and have NEVER received a return call. Apparently they don’t understand who pays them - me! (And you). Lots of work to $pend my $$$
Goose problem
This has always been a good play but the geese are taking over the course. The amount of goose droppings is unacceptable. They need to take action.
Great course
This is one of my favourite course in the area. Both are a lot of fun to play and offer two completely different challenges.
Great value as well.
NICE COURSE
I played there once last year and loved it...great pace, lots of members but this time it was awful, very slow and no marshalls out to move the pace
Nice course but Gouged on cart rate.
Nice course that’s well kept and fun to play but the rates for the carts are outrageous. My group has decided not to play here any longer.
Best place to play for the price!!
Course is in Great Shape. Might suggest a horn sound when sprinklers come on or some type of notice.
Excellent longer Executive Course
Pleasant and somewhat challenging course that is well maintained
