I found the course to play very fair. We played from the White Tees and I found there was plenty of opportunity to achieve par. The sand was well groomed. The greens ran true and a very fair speed.

The staff I found to be very professional and helpful. The amenities were first rate and there was ample parking.

One of the Very Best Golf Courses in the Region, for sure.

Thanks for the Great Time...

A great Facility Legends on the Niagara is. Two Championship golf courses. An executive golf course, a 360 degree driving range.

An excellent Wedding, and Banquet Facility. Very Picturesque and Scenic, with ample parking and a very Professional staff.

Well worth the trip!!!

I recommend this course
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 initially omitted mention of the Legends Half-Way Staff Employees I have come to appreciate Leslie and Amanda and the excellent job they do as I purchase my food and refreshments. I think both of the ladies I have met in Leslie and Amanda are both easy-going and very personable. But they are both first-class people who are both excellently versed in dealing with a varied group of golfers from all walks of life who all have a similar passion and that is we all love to play golf. I appreciate being able to start my golf day being greeted by such friendly people. I apologize to Amanda and Leslie for my initial omission written to Golf Now Course Review on October 20, 2017.)))

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

Hello Golf Now,

I have played the Legends Golf Facility for a few years now. My Golf Experience is always excellent.

I find the staff extremely professional and courteous. The staff I find is very efficient and very well trained.

My first introduction to the course is in the Pro Shop, from the managers Curtis and Mike, to the Pro Shop professionals Mark and Corbin; I find they are all very approachable and personable.

The Ushers Creek course is professionally laid out and sculpted out of the gently rolling terrain.

There are four levels of golf, where a golfer can tee up from the Gold, Blue, White or Red Tees. The Gold tees being the furthest back.

Some fairways are wider than others, but the course plays very fair, and I played from the White tees, my score is around 90-low 90's,and the course play is more challenging the further back on the teeing area a golfer tees the ball up.

The course is dotted with fairway, and green-side bunkers. Some bunkers are deeper than others, and the greens are large and accessible.

The greens are undulating but they run true, and I find that two putting is achievable, from wherever I am on the green. I find the greens fast, well positioned and immaculately manicured.

The Golf Course Superintendent, along with the greens keepers and the course staff, do an excellent job in keeping the course in excellent shape, whenever I go for a game of golf there, and I must say I golf there as often as I can, I live in Niagara.

The entire course is lush, very green with thick but fair rough.

I find the Ushers Creek Golf Course an excellent test of golf. And I would definitely recommend giving the 18 Championship Hole Ushers Creek Course a try. As well as the 18 Championship hole Battlefield Course equally as challenging, as well as the challenging 9 hole Executive Chippawa Courses, at the Legends on the Niagara Facility, is well worth a visit.

The pace of play is approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes for 18 holes, on a busy day, give or takes a few minutes, depending on your tee time, and that is on both Ushers Creek and the Battlefield Courses.

There is a first class teaching academy, a 360 degree driving range, a chipping and putting green, as well as a very large and undulating practice putting green, prior to your round.

The restaurant which has the pro shop in front, is World Class, and I am not trying to overstate the beauty of the pro shop, restaurant and banquet facility, made of stone and there are impressive wood beams that come all the way from South Africa, if my memory serves me correct.

The entire facility is well laid out with ample, and convenient parking, with shuttle buggies running much of the day to pick up the golfers, from your car, if desired.

I can honestly say this course is a World Class golfing experience, from the staff, the golf courses, to the teaching and dining facilities, I would highly recommend the Legends on the Niagara (Niagara Falls) Golf Facility a must golfing visit, when you are in the Niagara Area, you will not be pleasantly surprised.

Have a Great Round of Golf,

Sincerely,

John Harley

Hello Golf Channel Review,

First of all, I should mention that in our area, we had a lot of rain in the previous 12 hours, leading up to our tee time at 9:15 a.m.

I found the course fairways to be very well drained.

There was very little standing water. We did play the lift clean and place.

The fairways were lush, and well defined from the rough.

The rough was thick, but played fair, if the proper club was used, I found.

The greens I found to be running a bit slow, because of all of the rain that had fallen. But the greens ran true, and not a lot of undulation.

The staff I found to be very friendly, and actually there are quite a few guys, who joined this golf course because of the great reputation that it has.

There is a new club house that is very large, and they are just completing construction.

The golf carts are new, at least to my amateur eye, and they run very well.

The course is very well laid out, and some holes are more difficult than the others.

There are five sets of tees, Blue, White, Gold, Red, and forward...Yellow, Red.

The course has 27 holes...The White Course, the Red Course, the Blue Course.

Over all I would give the course an excellent Rating.

I first was a member of this golf course in 1990, but I did play this course prior to this date.

There have been a lot of improvements, along with the addition of additional golf holes.

The International Golf and Country Club is a Great Venue to go and play a round of golf with your friends. Also you can go to the golf course by yourself, and you will always be paired up with a group that is not full.

This is also an excellent venue for having a Golf Tournament.

This course is located about 10 or so minutes from Fort Erie, which is just over the Peace Bridge from Buffalo.

Or...

The Golf Course is located about 15 minutes , down the QEW Highway from Niagara Falls Ontario.

Also the course is located about 20-25 minutes from Sherkston Beaches, and camping. if a group plans to vacation in the area.

I found the course to be very reasonably priced.

I went to Golf now. com, and I paid around 29.00-

And the reason I have called this article Chug a Lug, was, because the other member of the group I was playing with are all good golfers, and really fine people.

And after the game I asked what the other golfers had scored, and my score happened to be the highest, I jokingly said…”I scored lower than all of you guys”…To which the Gentleman Golfer answered …Dream On.

Contact information is...just in case you are going to be in the area.

Hello,
I arrived at the Legends on the Niagara 40 minutes before my tee time approximately, and I went directly to the pro shop.
They friendly greeted me, by full time staffer Kevin, who knew me by my first name. He proceeded to hand me my green fee ticket, without me having to say a word. I thanked him very much, and he continued...for me to have a good game.
I got my cart and proceeded to the 360% driving range, with balls supplied to use for the golfers. I mentioned when I got my golf cart, if I could get out earlier, that would be great, as I had another appointment that day.

The course was in perfect shape, the fairways were lush and gently rolling, dotted with strategically placed bunkers, both fairway, and the green side.
The fairways I found to be challenging on some holes and more generous on other holes.
The greens were in terrific shape, and I do not know a lot about the stempmeter, but I would say the greens rolled around 14-15, but the greens at the same token were very true.
And when I struck the ball well, I made most of my short putts, and the occasional longer putt.
The round played in a very reasonable time playing, I never had to wait more than a couple of minutes on a couple of holes, to play my next shot.

The food and beverages, coffee or pop in my case is very excellent in the pub. The staff is friendly and professional.
The Course has a VIP membership which entitles a golfer to many special rewards. And a great deal, and free to join.
I only know the golf course Professional by his first name, which is Curtis, and he is very accessible, and very easy to talk to, an excellent person and Golf Professional. The assistant professional (I think that is his title) his name is Mike, who is also an excellent professional.

I would rate this Golf Course and their facilities superior, overall, to all of the golf courses I have played at, during my life.
I would definitely recommend playing golf at the Legends, which has two 18 hole Great Courses Ushers Creek, and Battlefield, and a 9 hole gentleman's (shorter)Course called the Chippawa. And also there is also their sister course called the Whirlpool Golf Course, in the North End of Niagara Falls, which is an excellent test of golf, as well.

Plus there is a short par three, where I first learned to play golf...called Oak Hall, which is also in the Niagara Parks family of golf courses.

These are all Public Golf Courses, which are Owned and Extremely Professionally Run, by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Have Fun,
and
Good Golfing,
John B. H.
