Great Course

This course layout is alot of fun. It's a mature course with lots of trees. Each hole has a different feel, especially on the back 9. I will play this course again and again. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Great price, great layout, it's becoming one of my favorites in the Region.

Great Pace of play

We played early morning and didn't wait even for a minute. The course in in ok condition. Tee boxes are taking a beating and fairways are full of divots and clumps of grass left from those divots. People aren't fixing ball marks in the greens or fairways. The layout is fun and challenging, but the course is taking a beating from the lack of self responsibility of other golfers. Price was fair and staff was very friendly. We did have 2 way overpriced chicken salad sandwiches at the turn. Overall I will play this course again but I won't be expecting pristine course conditions.

Best Course in the Region

Course conditions were great as usual. So sad to see this course go. Get out and play it now while you still can. This is the last year.

Great Round Today

Great round today, all that was missing was my gold swing. That had nothing to do with the course however. Conditions were perfect and pace of play was spot on. Marshall's weremaking their rounds and keeping everything moving really well.

Going Down Hill Fast

I have played DF many times over the last few years. I have always been very happy with the course and Marshalling. The last 3 rounds I have noticed that things have changed. They stopped being so careful with the way they cut the course. Some traps dont get the grass and them trimmed anymore. Some traps have no sand in them, just dirt and a drainage pipe, yet they charge full price and deliver less then a full course. Marshall's have been completely absent. I see what they may call a Marshall drive around every now and then but he doesnt say anything to keep pace of play moving. The same thing happened to Thundering Waters in Niagara Falls. I see the exact same thing playing out. It's a real shame. If you are in the area, play Hidden Lakes instead. 2 18's. Lots to choose from and very well maintained.

very surprised

I have played this course many times over the last few years, this was the first time this year. They are letting it go! Fairways are filled with bare spots and clover, seond cut might as well be deep rough, greens actually had dadandelions growing out of them, bunkers were hard sand and bunker egdes had not been cut in at least 2 weeks! The worst part of this course were the tee boxes. 16 of 18 looked like the image i have attached. I loved this course for a long time, but they have obviously stopped spending money on the things that matter most to the customers who love to play a challenging well kept course. They did however keep the green fees the same. Will not go back this year. Oh and the turn around clubhouse (lionsden) was closed until 2pm when they had a tournament starting. Told me where their priorities were. Pace of play however was very good.

The course was in fairly good condition. Greens were a little rough due to aerating. Overall very worth the green fee. It's a fun course to play.
