Whirlpool Golf Course, Ontario, Canada

We golfed here on our "Matilda" outing.  It is one of the Niagara Park Commission courses and is part of the Niagara Golf Trail.  We enjoyed this course very much.  It was a little crowded when we began but spread out by the back nine.  A lot of the holes on the front nine had narrow fairways line with trees.  Hole 2 is their signature hole (par 4) which runs along the road and has a nice pond on the right of the green... that was one of the prettiest holes.  There were back to back par 5's which is a little challenging.  The back nine fairways were more wide open but still tree lined.  Hole 14 is pretty par 3 with water in front of the tee box, and trees and sand on the right of the green.  It's next to the botanical gardens.  Hole 18 has an elevated green right in front of the restaurant so you have an audience on your approach shot.  There was no bathroom on the course but port-a-potties.  There was a turn and a cart girl.  However, things were quite expensive and they ran out of ice! The pro shop had everything on sale for 40% off - we had a field day!  Really enjoyed this course!
