September/October Golf Trip to Niagara

Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

 

Hoping for some advice on a tentative itinerary for a buddies trip to Niagara at the end of Sept to the beginning of Oct.

 

9/29 Twilight: Thundering Waters (http://www.thunderingwaters.com/)

9/30 Morning: Whirlpool (https://www.niagaraparksgolf.com/whirlpool-golf-course.html)

9/30 Twilight: Chippawa Executive (https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit/golf-course/legends-on-the-niagara/) (Note: this is the round with the wives so we figured a smaller course would be better)

10/1 Morning: Battlefield (https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit/golf-course/legends-on-the-niagara/)

 

I didn't add Ussher's Creek or Grand Niagara so please let me know if these two are must plays that I should slot in.

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

Skip Thundering Waters. A lot of awkward tee shots, and generally unimpressive. Grand Niagara is far and away the best course in the Niagara proper area, followed by Legends Battlefield which you have pencilled in.

Update!

 

I just got back yesterday and the trip was awesome!

 

We played Ussher's Creek on Friday in a pretty intense wind. It also felt like every hole was into a headwind which was tough. I played my worst this day (82) but it was still a great start to the trip. The course was in pretty good shape.

 

On Saturday, we played Grand Niagara in the morning and WOWZERS. What an amazing venue and experience. The staff was excellent and we really enjoyed the landscape and condition of the course. The greens were extremely consistent which made putting much easier for me. My game was on (75) and really, really enjoyed the experience.

 

We ended up playing Rolling Meadows later on Saturday and the track was interesting. It actually felt much harder than the previous two courses simply because it was so tight and the landing areas were very small. The greens were small and had quite a bit of slope. We had a decent time here, but I probably wouldn't come back and play here again.

 

On Sunday, we did Battlefield at Legends and the morning started with an intense fog that pushed our tee time back to around 9. It was very chilly in the morning and I didn't bring anything but a light jacket so I was bit worried, but it quickly warmed up and it easily the best weather of the trip (mid 60s and sunny). The course was in great shape and the unique holes and integration into the environment made it easily my second favorite round of the trip. It didn't hurt that I played well too (75).

 

Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the tracks. We'll definitely come back and play them again and I encourage anyone traveling to this area to play these venues!
