| Since opening as a 9-hole course in 1980, Peninsula Lakes GC has systematically evolved from gravel pit to one of Niagara's premier courses. Designed by renowned architect, Rene Muylaert, Peninsula Lakes now boasts 27 championship holes - the Quarry, Hillside and Orchard nines. Each layout makes the most of modest elevation changes, man-made lakes and the natural contours of the landscape and all are well balanced in terms of length, difficulty and playing conditions. |
| As the name suggests, the original Quarry Course (3204 yards / par 35) is defined by a descent to the quarry bottom and a gradual return to the clubhouse atop its rim. The Quarry nine includes four (4) large "lakes" which can come into play on holes # 1, 2, 5 and 6. The fairways are generous, but well defined by numerous bunkers and perimeter hazards, including rough, mounds, scattered trees and OB. |
 |
| The Hillside Course (3260 yards / par 36) is adjacent to the clubhouse and the Quarry Course and completes the original 18-hole layout. It is consistent with the Quarry Course in that ponds come into play on several holes, including # 4, 5, 7 and 8. This nine more so than the others makes imaginative use of its many lakes and offers some very scenic hole settings. |
 |
The Orchard Course (3221 yards / par 35), already looks as though it has always been there. The first few holes makes good use of elevation changes, while still more "lakes" define holes # 6, 7 & 8 later in the round. While a bit flatter and straighter than the other nines, the Orchard Course is a bit narrower and plays a bit longer than the others. |
| Peninsula Lakes GC features bent grass throughout, multiple tee boxes, short rough, numerous fairway and greenside bunkers and, as the name suggests, several large ponds. The course's mid-size greens are as good as any in Niagara, putting fast and true. ( Peninsula Lakes GC review ) |
