Rees Jones  Golf Course Architect

Rees Jones creates courses that are fair, challenging, continually interesting to play, and visually exciting. We get a feel for the land, listen to the client, and build a course that has integrity and lasting value.
Golfers enjoy being reasonably challenged. Golf holes that unfold with a variety of shot options requiring strategic management – deciding the degree of risk they are willing to take, Rees jones courses include risk/reward options throughout.
Playability should be sacrificed to showy features that penalize a shot that is only slightly errant. Bunkers are strategic features, carefully placed. Designs include multiple tees in order to accommodate golfers of differing skills.
Rees Jones courses are classic - a blend of traditional design and innovative style. Designs are based on great Scottish courses and the works of legendary masters of American design, adhering to the fundamentals of good design - i.e. providing variety and interest while creating strategic shot values.
At 7,560 yards from "the tips" and several sets of tee boxes, the Rees Jones Course at Grand Niagara Resort has been constructed with a thoughtful and strategic mix of tall fescue grasses, sparkling ponds, abundant tree lined fairways and open rolling terrain.

This latest jewel of Niagara golf – perhaps the shiniest yet – is an inspiring layout, a mix of parkland and links-style holes and provides some truly challenging golf.   ( course profile )
