I like this course. It consists of a woodlands front nine and a links style back nine separated by a five minute cart ride through a swamp. The woodlands front nine is a great layout with a few hills and lots of dog legs. Number one on the front nine is a little intimidating as it is straightaway and narrow. The back nine is built on a farmers field and features a number of interesting dog legs and risk reward shots over waste areas. The problem with the course is that at the moment it is in poor condition. The front nine fairways have many bare areas and it needs grass seed badly. The greens on the front nine are very good with the odd bare spot. The back nine fairways also need lots of grass seed and the greens are very slow. There is some sort of invasive grass on all of the back nine greens. Bottom line…. Interesting layout in poor condition.

The greens on the front 9 are in very rough shape but puttable.

This is a fun amalgam of two courses. The front nine is a woodlands course with a number of interesting dog legs. One interesting point is that the red and gold tees play virtually the same length. This is something they may want to correct. The greens are fairly flat and true. After the front nine there is a one mile cart ride through wetlands to a links style course. The greens on this nine have some foreign grass invading that needs to be sorted out. There we a number of interesting holes on this 9as well. All in all an enjoyable round.

I enjoyed the layout. Lots of doglegs. The greens are huge, undulating, true and medium speed. The fairways are hard and the ball will run.

My group had a great day. The weather was excellent and the pace of play was very good. 4 hours for the round. The traps were a little crusty but I think the issue is Covid related.

Once again a pleasure to play Grand Niagara. They are very well organized during this pandemic. The staff are friendly and the course is in excellent condition. It is possible to score well on this course as long as you are playing from the correct tees and can hit the ball with reasonable accuracy. The fairways are wide but the greens are well defended by the occasional bunker :). Great job gang!

The course was in good shape and the weather was great. The layout was interesting as well.

The course was in good shape but I found the layout to be quite uninteresting. We had to drive 45 minutes to get here and I would sum up the experience by saying it was not worth the drive.

Played the course for the first time as we passed through on our way south. The weather was super...sunny with a high of 64. The grass was dormant but the fairways and greens were in great shape. The fairways on he front nine are wide but the greens are very well protected with all of the bunkers in exactly the wrong place. We especially liked the back nine with seven of the holes winding through the woods and incorporating lots of elevation changes. The back nine was a little tighter than the front nine.

The staff were friendly and the person at the counter honoured the price that I had been quoted on the phone the previous week ( $35), even thought the weekend rate was in effect for Veterans Day.

The signage could be a little better as we accidentally played #17 instead of # 6. The problem was that there is a loop back to # 6 from the fifth green and since we were playing the gold and red tees we reached them before going up a hill to the white tees where the sign pointed to #6.

Try this course!

The course was in good condition and played tougher due to the wind.

Lansbrook is quite challenging for two reasons. Many of the fairways are quite narrow and tree lined which makes them difficult to hit as well as being visually intimidating The greens were in good shape and were very fast! I checked with the pro shop after the round and was told that they were running at 12.5 - 13 on the stimpmeter.

I have played the course every year for the last 5 years. I love the layout of the course and the course is quite challenging. This year the course condition seems to have slipped considerably. The fairways are bare in many places and many of the greens are in rough shape as well. There also was a shortage of golf carts, which happened last year as well, these problems could possibly point to a reduction of maintenance spending.

I enjoyed my round today at Whirlpool. It took four hours to play 18 holes, so the pace is fine. I do find it odd that they allow a single to go out alone - we had a single following us for the whole round. There was no point in letting him play through as we were in position and there were many foursomes ahead of us.

I enjoy playing this course each year as we pass through the area in our Motorhome. This course is excellent value. I have only played the course in March or November and it always plays very hard and fast. The greens are fast and true. The staff is friendly as well.

I enjoy playing this golf course but it is ironic that it is branded as a John Daly course. I give the course architect full credit for figuring out how to put 18 holes on this property and the course routing is bizarre. This is absolutely not a bombers course but if you enjoy target golf you will not be disappointed.

I liked the layout. Greens were excellent but the fairways were a little dry due to the lack of rain which was to be expected. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good.

I played Pine Barrens and I found the layout very interesting and visually intimidatingly. The conditioning of the course was consistent with the nicer courses around Tampa. One surprise was the lack of ball washers on most holes.
