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

the sparrow
enjoy walking this course was in great shape
No sand in bunkers
Bunkers are clay. Greens and tee decks are well maintained. Weather was very hot, but could walk the course in cooler weather.
Price
Cart rental are to high and take a passenger double price TERRIBLE
cart
I pay same price for cart 48.59 that 's taking my grandson with me Cost me over a hundred dollars had to buy a small buckle off balls 75 years old can;t afford that to often
Walking on the Sparrow is fun, scoring even better no beverage cart very disappointing.
The course is in very well maintained shape. The pace of all greens pretty similar. Bad omen today beverage cart was being towed across our first fairway..We never saw it again, too bad. Very hot and humid today.
Nice but tough short course
Challenging, great greens and overall conditions...great bargain at 20 bucks after tax on Golfnow. I'll be back...
Great 18 hole walk, course in great shape except the traps
The traps had very little soft sand and too much water, the cart person didn’t arrive until our last 3 holes. Course in great shape otherwise.
Challenging and fun Executive course
A well maintained longer Executive Course that has some challenge and is an enjoyable walking round of golf.
Carts
What happens to Hotdeal with cart ?Today's
Hotdeal are walking that's not a Hotdeal
I'm a VIP MEMBERS and pay for Hotdeal
with Cart not walking
Course has good layout
But that’s about it ... Grass was burnt or it was mud. Greens were well maintained. Staff wasn’t overly friendly
Great price - Great Course
The course is in great shape.
Don’t let the score card (par 67) fool you, it’s a great course with tough greens. Will definitely be back again.
Good value for short course
Greens and fairways in great shape for dry conditions. Traps are unplayable. Cart option would be nice.
