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

Disappointed.
Course was in great condition but the obnoxious groups who were swearing and smoking pot ruined the day. Not once did we see a ranger to make sure course etiquette was maintained.
Reasonably priced golf at a good course
The Sparrow course is the easier of the 2 courses at Cardinal Lakes. It still presents a good test of golf. The greens are very good as are the fairways. The course is also in reasonable shape generally. This is not a top quality course but it offers an enjoyable outing of golf at a reasonable price. We always enjoy ourselves here even though we also play some of the top courses in Ontario,
Great value!
Nice short course and for under $40 with a cart... Great value. Will play again for sure this summer.
Good short course
Really good 18 hole short course let’s you experiment with different clubs. Greens in good condition. Recommend to all.
Review
Well groomed course , very good shape for the amount of rain we had
Sparrow fun course
Everything was in very good condition and nice to see we’re not getting gouged on the cart rates still.
Great course for the money
I thought this was great value for a decent track..will come back for sure!
Tried the sparrow course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. This course being the shorter of the two on this property was a great length for all golfers. Fairways and greens are in great condition considering the low cost of this track. Some beautiful holes, my initial favourite is the the first part 5 on the front. Dogleg with a hazard carry to the green. Had a friendly round with a member and a former member. I will be back to try the Huron course!
