Course was wet due to recent rains but, was playable..
Good condition for this time of year. I like this course because It requires one to use every club in the bag. Even though it is short and par 67 it requires one to think.

Rolling Meadows 10-21-19

The fact that they were aerating was not advised when booking is an irritant. Had we known would not have booked. Half of the greens were covered with sand that had not been spread into the holes. We got to play 16 holes only because they were closed for aerification.
Starter put us with a couple who were not players creating a backlog where members began driving around our group.

Nice course

Starter paired us up with a couple so able to get out early The couple had a lot of balls in the fescue so slowed us down. Round ground to a halt at 10th hole due to one very slow group and a lot of ball searchers ahead of us. Finally with a couple holes to play rangers got it sorted.

Always a treat!

Willodell is always an enjoyable course to play. The greens are constantly in great shape. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Clubhouse facilities are very good.
A couple semi-quirky holes on the course but that makes it challenging. Were I seeking a course for membership Willodell would be one of the premier few I would choose from. Well done.....keep up the good work.

Roller Coaster for golfers

Wow! Totally unexpected but, should have guessed it given Mike Stranz's talent.
There is a surprise around every corner and, that is a good thing. One must bring their whole bag of shots.
This course will not be for everyone. If one expects Augusta National in the sandhills of North Carolina they will be disappointed. This course is an absolute treat to play.

Rainy day golfin'

Day started out really wet. Downpour after downpour. Staff arranged to change our tee time from 9:00 to 11;00 to wait out the rain. Damp for a couple holes then the sun came out. Still damp underfoot but is to be expected.Turned into a good day. Lots of wildlife e.g. coy-wolf/geese etc.

Glad to hear the staff were able to accommodate a later start to avoid some of the rare rain this season! We hope to see you again on a nicer day to enjoy beautiful golf courses.

Legends Battlefield

Early in the season conditions. Fairways good though. Greens a little bumpy due to aerification in previous fall. Pace of play slow due to 5-some two groups ahead who would not allow anyone through.
Where are the rangers?

Sorry to hear the group ahead didn't allow you to play through. We hope you'll be back again to enjoy our course conditions. They are improving everyday and the green speeds will be top notch within a few weeks.

Always in good shape.

With the current crunch in the golf industry some semi-privates are cutting back on conditioning to save money. If they are cutting back here it is not evident. Staff are friendly. Pace of play always good Play here quite often and never have had a bad experience. Challenging enough for the low handicapper but still playable to high handicap.

Best Course In NIagara Region

A very honest course. What you see is what you get.
Lots of room off the tee. After that it tightens up. I understand that there have been ownership issues in the past but, one feels that a more impressive clubhouse would be in order for such a good facility.

Good condition

All of the outside customer service staff were very friendly and welcoming. Inside staff, not so much.
Given the extreme winter we came through, the course is in good condition. We found the greens to be much faster than the practice green.

Like all 3 nines

Not an overly hard course but, has the ability to rise up and bite you if you are careless. Conservative play is rewarded. The difficulty of incorporating a newer 9 with the original 18 created a rather busy junction in which greens and tees of a few holes are located too close to one another. Management should take a more proactive role in governing pace of play. Snack bar staff care so little for customers that they come across as rude.

Somewhat dissapointing

Owned by Niagara Parks Commission (NPC), Whirlpool Golf Course is one of 3 owned by the NPC. The main source of revenue for NPC is tourism. As such, NPC is not in the golf business. Hampered by a strong Canadian dollar NPC is not able to attract the large number of US golfers it once did. With lowered revenues NPC has not neen able to maintain their 3 golf courses in they manner they once did due to cost cutting.
As one who has played Whirlpool for many years it is disappointing to see the course conditions slip they way they have in recent years.
