ENJOYABLE ROUND

We played as a twosome and had a great experience. The course is located close to downtown Niagara Falls making it convenient if visiting and staying in the hotels downtown (less than a 5 min drive). The staff were very nice and the starter took 10 minutes to give us some tips on playing the course for the first time. He was friendly and welcoming. The course seemed to be undergoing some maintenance in certain areas, including aeration on the greens - but all courses do that at some point so nothing to complain about!

The course layout was interesting and each hole kept you focused on making a plan of attack to navigate the hazards, including the many DEEP bunkers. Playing with a very high handicapper, we found it helpful that although there are lots of hazards, you CAN play around them or avoid them if you don't mind an extra shot or two; this made the course challenging yet enjoyable for both of our skill levels.

You pass the food shelter at least 4 times (maybe more?) so there is no drink cart, but the shelter is fully stocked and the server was very friendly.

Despite the greens undergoing maintenance, the rest of the course maintenance was very good. The fairways are nicely kept, the rough is long but reasonable, and the tee decks were well kept as well.

We played mid-day Monday and did not run into any other groups in front, nor did we have any groups behind us. Pace was fantastic. A previous comment about new homes being too close to the course is exaggerated ... only two or three holes have homes nearby and they are well enough away to not be intimidating or distracting. I did not see any carts with radios during our round.

Overall a great course and experience, we would recommend and definitely will return in future years.

Fantastic experience & service

We had a great time at WTGL this past weekend. We have played before, a few years ago, and also enjoyed it then. The staff treat you like gold, and make sure you don't have to lift a finger. Throughout the round, the marshals are constantly making sure you are satisfied and having a good round. The course is fun to play, and in great condition. Definitely a must if you have never played here before.
