Legends on the Niagara – This breathtaking natural setting that was carved out of historic terrain is a one-of-a-kind golf complex. Part of Legends’ 1,000 acres is home to the preserved 1814 Chippawa Battlefield, located adjacent to its two unrivaled 18-hole championship courses – Ussher’s Creek and Battlefield – that have been ranked in the top 20 courses in Canada by The Globe & Mail. Designed by two leading Canadian architects, Douglas Carrick and Thomas McBroom, this “absolutely inspired” complex also features Chippawa, a fun and challenging 9-hole short course, a Teaching Academy and a 45-acre 360-degree practice facility.

A meandering entrance way gives you a glimpse of the meticulously manicured courses and leads to a spectacular stone and cedar clubhouse. The exterior of this two-story pavilion was inspired by the image of a 19^th century fort, but it incorporates all the features of a destination golf clubhouse, including shopping for all your golfing needs at the Pro Shop. Large expanses of glass throughout the clubhouse’s lounge and terrace offer a panoramic view overlooking the Battlefield course and its 20-acre lake – the perfect venue to end your day with cocktails and a fine dinner prepared by our skilled chefs.
Whirlpool Public Golf Course is one of Canada’s most highly rated and renowned public golf courses for over 60 years, located in a spectacular setting against the backdrop of the Niagara River Whirlpool and Gorge. This 18-hole championship course was designed by the famous golf course architect Stanley Thompson, ranking in the top 50 overall in Canada among both private and public courses and also ranked as #4 in golfing value.

The course’s traditional layout with mature trees lining the fairways stretch 7,200 yards with challenging greens and is considered many golfer’s favorite course. Whirlpool features a charming rustic clubhouse which includes the Pro Shop and restaurant overlooking the 18^th hole.

This is a great facility for novice golfers and families, as well as for those more familiar to the game looking for a course perfect for brushing up their short game.
