International Country Club of Niagara - White Course

Started with filthy golf cart - bad start. Course has been neglected over the years and is in poor to fair condition. Layout is poor to fair - many blind shots with hidden hazards. To be fair greens were good and true we had the course to ourselves. Not busy on a Sunday. Apparently the course will get a rework Much needed.

I took three friends here for the first time. Two said don't ask me again. One said yes but under $50. Greens on the white nine were the reason not playing here again. Playing ROCKWAY for $35 is a better course and lower price. This course is going in the right direction but is not there yet. Talked to the starter about getting Legends courses for $40 day of rate. He said this is better. In fact only bunkers are better. Worth playing but it is only a mid course. Keep value in mind. $58 is now the hot deal rate after tax.

Course needs a significant cash infusion to upgrade the overall condition...The layout is definitely a challenge.

Played this course a few times since opening. Last number of years course was in poor condition. New management has really turned this course around. Decided to play it based on other comments and was not disappointed. Very challenging course: thick rough and fescue for errant shots. Makes you work for a good score. Holes are long from white tees and after massive rainfall over night not much roll. That’s the way it goes. After a full year of reconditioning this course will be in the upper tier of courses in Niagara region. I will be back to this course.

We have been here twice. The first time the course was in great shape and we had 2 senior parents with us. They were very accommodating of the seniors and let them ride with us around the course with no issues.
The second time, my son was stuck on the QEW due to an accident. He was 1.25 hours late but they continued to keep moving the tee off times back and even gave me a free bucket if balls for the driving range while I waited. When he arrived, we had two players and a ride along as my son didn’t have time to go to Sherkston to drop off the passenger. Again they were very accommodating and allowed the ride along at no additional charge.
The customer service was fantastic and I the course was in good shape. Watch the fescue but overall a great experience.

Traps are the best in Niagara. Added fescue made it mare challenging. Greens still need some work. The best 9 (blue) is not playable. Paying $58 is a bit steep for what it is. If they drop price day of hot deal, give it a try. So far as I know they do not drop from $52 plus tax and fees.

I've never played here before but I purchased a round from Underpar. Me and my friend paid 52 each with cart. I think its about 15-20 more if purchase golfnow or at course. Staff was friendly and I must say the greens were fantastic!. Nice flat tee decks which is also high on my list. Fairway grass slightly long, however, I realize they cant be cut when wet an there has been some rain lately.
As far as people complaining about the fescue and loosing balls and rating course a 1 me and my friend found this hilarious!!!! Course is fair and the landing areas for shots are more than fair. It is not an easy course but it is also not unfair nor worthy of these complaints. My friend shot 40 on back 9 and I shot 42. We played white tees approximately 6500 yds. We both had bit of rough start but attribute this to no warmup at all. We didnt even really stretch or anything. We both shot 47 on front which is a little high for us. But as far as a 10 hcp complaining it was too hard and lost too many balls. I have to say I dont believe they could really be a 10 hcp! I guess alot of people just like easy golf courses where you can spray drives and irons and still play your ball from other fairways.
We will definitely make the trip from Stoney Creek to play again!

I had heard recently that this course had been under new management and many changes and upgrades were made. Another review mentioned the course layout and how frequently balls were lost but I decided to give them a chance. Unfortunately the review was more than accurate I am about a 10 handicap and walked off after nine holes there is Heather on both sides of every hole it is only about 10 yards from each fairway which also Feels like it has been reduced. if you are a mid handicapper like me this course is not for you. it used to be one of the easiest and most forgiving courses in Niagara, Perhaps even too forgiving but the new layout has completely gone in the other direction. The owners are clearly trying to cater to the very low handicap golfer and making it an extreme challenge but the layout isn’t that interesting in the first place so I believe it’s going to be a struggle to satisfy that small subsection of players. The course itself is in beautiful shape but after losing 5 to 6 balls hit just off the fairway I had had enough.

First time at this course, seems like they are doing some upgrades. The course has a nice layout and plays well. A little wet the day we played due to a lot of rain during the week, but still in good shape. Only complaint is that we could have used a course layout on the scorecard or posted in the cart.

New ownership and change of course name has seemed to yield improved fairways and greens. Many more staff out caring for the course the never before.. if u like long courses you can push back to 6900 yards if that’s your thing. Some water challenges but plenty of space to keep the ball in play. Greens rolled true and fair. Compared to similar condition courses, the walking rate is a little high.

It was a nice change from the old International Country Club. The new owners have put some money and work into the course which has always been one of the best layouts in Niagara.

havnt played this course since its been redone it was in good shape BUT! i dont mind the rough being tough but if tou went a little further off fairway or rough it was all fescue its like they want too penalize you more than just the rough it was terrible I lost 8 balls and wasnt that far off the fairway. i think they only want pro golfers there so I wont be going back unless they get rid of the all the fescue. who puts fescue along the tree line 10 feet out. who ever set the course up is ridiculous, very frustrating day NEVER AGAIN!

Lots of upgrades mainly the fairways and greens were in good condition. The cut is perfect. Upgrades to sprinklers and irrigation make a very big different to course condition.

The improvements done on this course this year are massive.. loved it even though rain shorted our 18 holes to 15!!
