Whirlpool Golf Course

Absolutely one of my favourite golf courses in Ontario. Have been playing it repeatedly for over 25 years. Great staff and the course always delivers. The 50 minute drive to get there is worth it. Thanks.

There's so much to say about the course. Foremost is the fact that this is one of the city's municipal courses and as such, is a wonderful ambassador for the city.
On top of that, the quality of the groundskeeping is first rate. I think it is no coincidence that the course abuts the botanical gardens and they must have a lot of crossover.
Pro shop staff are pleasant and welcoming and the starters are good at maintaining a smooth pace of play. Indeed, it was good to see marshalls patrolling the course and maintaining a good experience.

I am looking forward to a return next year

Whirlpool golf course is right on the Niagara Parkway just across from the whirlpool gorge. In fact a good wedge on the 18th tee would land in the Niagara River (This is a no-no.)

The course opened in 1953 and was designed by Stanley Thompson. It is a beautiful track with many challenging holes. If you are in the region, it is a must play.

A classic Stanley Thompson course, easily one of the top 5 public courses in Niagara (Grand Niagara, Pen Lakes, Battlefield @ Legends, Whirlpool, and Thundering Waters). The course was a little beat up since I played it earlier in the year, but with later season golf (September) and the record volume every course has seen due to Covid-19, that is almost expected. This course is a great track and always a pleasure to play - keep an eye out for mid to late afternoon deals.
