Located in a spectacular natural setting against the backdrop of the Niagara River whirlpool and gorge, this magnificent and challenging championship course was designed by the legendary golf architect Stanley Thompson. Owned and operated by The Niagara Parks Commission since 1951, Whirlpool is considered as one of the Top 100 Courses in Canada.
Directions: From Toronto: Approach Niagara Falls on the QEW. Just after crossing the St. Catharines Skyway, take the 405 exit towards the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to the USA. Just before the bridge, take the last exit to the Niagara Parkway. Turn right off the ramp onto the Niagara Parkway. Whirlpool Golf Course is 4km down the road on the right hand side

Cart path rules
I love this course. It's one of my favorites. I play it at least 3 times a year if not more. The only thing that disappointed me was the cart path rules of this day.
I feel like we could have had 90 degree in and out. It would have cut down on all the walking and sped up the pace of play.

Course was in excellent condition.Greens were fast and true. Barely any ball marks to repair. Pace of play was great. Nothing mysterious about the holes - no blind shots. Great layout and excellent job by groundskeeper.
