Where can one play Golf at Niagara Falls?
(Back to the list of
questions).
Golf is big business in the Niagara
region. Several public courses are open on either side of the river,
with several more in the making. Most courses close to the falls lie on
the Canadian side, while in the United States, more courses can be found
further south towards Tonawanda and Buffalo. Unfortunately, no course
will give you a view of the Falls, but the Whirlpool Golf Club is
positioned along the Niagara Gorge just above the whirlpool rapids.
Golf courses in the Niagara region have
lush rolling hills and plenty of ponds. Most courses provide driving
ranges and putting greens for warming up and clubhouses and
accommodation packages for extended stays. We highly recommend you call
ahead to confirm fees and tee times. We compiled a list of the most
