Legends on the Niagara Golf Course - Ussher's Creek

October 8, 2017

Played: Ushers Greek Golf Course,

@Legends on the Niagara Golf Facility

Niagara Falls South, Ontario, Canada

First I would like to say there are some other nice courses in the Niagara Region, but for me the reason that I really enjoy Playing at Legends Facility is the staff, with 18 Hole Usher Creeks Championship Golf Course Plus the sister 18 Hole Championship golf course Battlefield, Plus there is a Great Executive 9 hole course that you can either walk or use a power cart if you like called the Chippawa Golf Course.

In the main golf pro shop is a very stylishly set-up, and amply supplied golf equipment and apparel. Every fall there is a great sale on around 25 sets of extremely affordable and professionally put together Brand Name rental golf sets with not a lot of use on the clubs, in very good condition and the discounts of up to 50% off the retail price and more.

Also in the main club house there is a bar area, and a nice viewing area of the gold courses from the restaurant.

There is also a function part of the club house where many people have their weddings, or banquets, and I think there can be several hundred guests. But for more information on that I think you would have to talk to either Curtis who is the resident golf professional and General Manager, or Mike, and both are extremely personable, Mike is in charge of the staffing, and training, to the best of my knowledge.

The Legends on the Niagara golf and Banquet facility telephone number is:

1-905-295-9595.

There is also a separate teaching facility (Mr. Moot) on the property, along with a 360 degree driving range, full circle and the range is awesome.

But the part of the Legends facility that makes this such a wonderful golf destination is the Legends staff. I have never met a nicer group of individuals that do work together to make one solid and cohesive team. Like I have mentioned Mike trains much, if not all of the golf staff. In the pro shop there is Mark who is the senior pro shop worker, who speaks both French and English and likewise has his pro golf card, and the rest of the pro shop staff is very professional. Troy is also a loyal Legends employee for many years and spends his summers making sure the Chippawa golf course and pro shop and driving range work very well, to the best of my knowledge.

Outside at the starters area there is Corbin who leads the many starters, and rangers who do a nice job for the Legends Facility, and Corbin also has his golf pro card.

I am sorry if I got away spending so much time introducing the readers to the Legends on the Niagara Facilities and some of their staff but I feel the staffing is what makes a golf course great.

On October 8, 2017 I was very fortunate to be matched up with a Great Young couple from Albany, New York by the names of Josh the husband and Amanda the wife. Amanda and Josh were expecting a child and Amanda did not play golf but was there to support the game of golf both Josh and I were playing.

Josh and Amanda were much laid back and easy going, and as a result I had one of my best games of golf all year.

Ushers Creek Josh mentioned several times was a beautiful course and a very picturesque golf course. Ushers creek is a demanding layout with four sets of tees as does Battlefield as well.

There are the forward red tees, the intermediate white tees, the further back Blue Tees, and the furthest back Gold Championship tees.

All of the holes have several bunkers, and some of the bunkers are quite deep and very challenging. Some holes have elevated tees, and some of the holes have elevated greens. The courses are extremely well manicured and well taken care of by a very seasoned and hard working grounds crew, and the greens are very fast and true, the greens are large and quite challenging, with several undulations and the grain does come into play. And the Legends on the Niagara Facility, has an excellent, and very experienced Head Greens Keeper.

Some of the fairways are wider than other but the fairways are fair to the average golfer and more difficult the further back in the tee area that a golfer tees their ball.

On some of the holes the ruff is thick and very deep, needing a golfer to use a shorter than needed club to get out of the ruff.

During the week the course is busier in the early part of the day, and the golf traffic eases off the later in the day a person would like to golf. I would guesstimate that during the week for 9 holes of golf the time would be around 2 to 2 ¼ hours, double that for 18 holes.

On the week-end the pace of play is a little bit slower early on in the day due to the high traffic volume.

The beverage cart person is around about twice for every 9 holes so there is ample opportunity to get refreshment.

Josh and Amanda and I very much enjoyed our time playing at Ushers Creek Golf Course on Legends on the Niagara on October 8, 2017.

I shoot on average around 95 for 18 holes of golf, and when I am finished playing at the Legends Facility I have enjoyed myself for the entire golf outing at Legends on the Niagara.

Thanks a lot for reading and have a Great Day

Legends on the Niagara is a Very Enjoyable Golf Destination,

First time playing this course, and it was a blast! The weather was a bit of a challenge, but the course layout and condition more than made it a great golf experience. Staff were very helpful and pleasant, and pace of play was very good. Will definitely be back on a warmer day next season!

Beautiful layout, extremely challenging course that gives you something different every hole.

Played Thanksgiving day in some cold windy conditions and still wanted more.

Will play this more

I played the course for the first time in a while yesterday and at one point I stopped to look around and was just amazed at how beautiful the course is. Great layout, always well kept, feels like a country club when you check in, etc. It is, for me, a benchmark against which other courses are compared.

We loved our experience golfing at this beautiful course👍

I would not recommend this course as you are welcome by a unfriendly reception to check you in. Could not use the practice range as it was closed for cleaning. Are you kidding me? For the amount of money this place charges, there’s way better options out there.

Had an incredible round, love this course, the layout, the wildlife and conditions. The starter is the best golf employee in north america! (super thorough, extremely pleasant!)- the gent that offered to find me a first hole tee as I was stuck in traffic).

That being said, the halfway house prices for a sandwich are borderline criminal, and they should be embarrased by what they charge.

$11.30 for a stale and small egg salad with barely any egg on it is just greedy!! (pics accompanied)

I will still return because I love the course and staff but just wont but any food!!!

This track is challenging yet fair for the 8-12 handicapper like myself. My playing partner is 76 years old & he plays from the shortest tee decks. He mentioned that on about 5-6 holes there wasn’t much difference between my white tees & his forward tees. All in all a good round enjoyed by both of us & I would play there again.

friendly staff & course could not have been in better condition

Ushers could use some work. Cart paths are getting pretty beat up. Greens were pretty hoppy and beat up. I love these tracks but some extra care, upkeep and upgrades would make it even better. All n all its a great track and love playing it.
