Short Course But Excellent Condition

This 9 hole course is a great in between type course. Longer than par 3 courses but shorter than regular courses. Great practice for mid irons.
Course is always in excellent condition water and sand traps make it a little challenging.
For $13.00 all in (including Golfnow fee) it is a great value!

Farm Patch For Fairways

I played this course early last year. It was not great. some fairways had loads of bald/brown/burnt patches.
This year the fairways are far worse! They almost all have this problem from one end to the other!
They dont rake their sand traps so they are like a rock.
The greens were decent and the layout has always been good.
Too bad owners just won't spend a few dollars on another one or two grounds keepers.
I wont golf here again.

GREAT COURSE

I play this course 4-6 times a year. It is ALWAYS in great shape! Unbelievable weather through October and my day was excellent! I got it for $31.00 with cart - GREAT DEAL -. Fairways were very nice and velvety, greens were in good shape (aeration had taken place so sandy overlayer but slow but decent. Great course for a really good price!

Always Good Condition

I play this course 4 or 5 times a year. It is ALWAYS in great condition...velvet fairways and smooth greens. The layout is moderately challenging which is fine for me as an intermediate golfer (and most others too). They give great discounts through their website and also golfnow so the cost per round if you catch a deal is excellent!
I would always recommend this course for a round of 18 with cart under $45.00...great deal!!

Not a boring layout

Good course, good condition on both fairways and greens. A good amount of water and sand traps to make it challenging. Our day was VERY windy so scores were affected (even putting) and pace was slow.
A good course especially for $40.00.

GREAT COURSE

Whirlpool golf course is one of the top 3 or 4 courses in all of the Niagara Region. The greens were close to perfect and the fairways were like velvet. It was a pleasure to golf at this course.

Nice Shape

This course is a reasonable price at regular rates, so when I booked as a hot deal at 60% off that made it a GREAT price!
Course is in excellent shape. Fairways are soft and clean and greens are in great shape. Sand traps (I was in one) are under groomed but it rained the day before so expected to be hard.
A lot of trees on this course that come into play on many holes which does present a challenge if your off line at all.
Overall and especially for this late in the season this course is worth playing for sure. (P.S. really good and tasty hot dog at the turn).

Farm Patch Fairways

I golfed here last about 3 years ago...what a difference from then till now! They held a Junior Championship here a few years ago. The fairways all were bare patched all over and the grass that was there was all different types and densities. The rough was mostly like a rock. The greens were ok for the most part and pin placement was challenging which was the only good in this day of golf. VERY disappointed in the course condition. Its like they gave gave up about 2 months ago trying to maintain a good course. Still amazed people play this course regularly.

Beautiful Fairways

Course is in great condition as always with soft clean fairways and really decent greens. Only one green, I believe it was the 6th on Escarpment, had some kind of blight along the right edge with no grass. Butoverall great greens with pretty challenging hole positions.

Fun in The Vineyard

Course was in real good shape. Fairways were nice and soft and greens were in good shape and fast. Pretty straight course but adds difficulty with traps and a little water. I got a good deal on GolfNow at %50 off so for the money GREAT value! Also this is a picturesque course set right in the heart of Vineyard country...post card type scenes!

Best sand traps

This course is in excellent condition. the fairways are soft and the grass condition is pristine. The greens are just the right speed and again the grass is pristine. The sand traps were manicured perfectly. I was in three traps during the round and came out well from the soft sand.

Course was in real good condition

The fairways were soft and well kept. Greens were normal fast and in good condition. We had a lot of rain 2 days before so there was some soaked areas off to the sides of fairways in the first rough but nothing overly unexpected. Not overly challenging which also means only a couple lost balls!
Good course in good shape.

Playing again after 15 years

I was dissappointed. The fairways were a farm patch full of weeds, bare patches every where and ruts and bumps enough to loosen your fillings! I lost 2 balls in the wide open first rough cut that was 2 inches long because of the ruts and weeds. The dandelions were everywhere...even on the green fringes! The greens at least didn't have any bare patches but had ball marks EVERYWHERE! Playing off blue tees the course is reasonably long and the water hazzards on the blue course make some challenges. Too bad they don't spend at another level to make this course decent. I got a SUPER deal from GOLFNOW and it was only $18.00 for cart and 18 holes luckily so I at least got to practice my shots.Right now it is the worst course in Niagara Region.
