2003 Freedom Oaks Golf Club Dunnville

Course Profile Located along the Lake Erie shoreline in Dunnville, Freedom Oaks GC was the only new course introduced to the Niagara golf landscape in 2003. The course, designed by the owners and built on 122 acres of countryside used previously for a trailer park / campground, includes a blend of open holes and some that wind through heavily wooded areas. As might be expected, the new course is still very much a work in progress, requiring some maturation and work on cosmetics, but it definitely ready for play now.

While seemingly a bit short at 6014 yards from the tips, Freedom Oaks plays much longer, boasting three par-5s over 500 yards, a handful of par-4s over 375 yards, impenetrable treelines, numerous ponds, several OB areas, and firm, tiered, bent grass greens. On the kinder side, the wide firm fairways add length to good drives, most of the par-3s are short-to-mid irons, the rough is sparse, greens putt true, there are no bunkers, and three sets of tees accommodate players of all playing abilities. A renovated, turn-of-the-century farmhouse has become a charming clubhouse with an adjacent spacious patio.   ( Freedom Oaks GC profile & review )
