| The Sparrow Lakes GC continues to grow and flourish, expanding in 2005 to become Niagara's only 36-hole facility, encompassing the original "executive" Sparrow course and the newer, championship Heron Course. Designed by Rene Muylaert, Sparrow Lakes GC is the only Niagara golf club with both "executive" and "championship" 18's. |
Sparrow Course
(original executive 18) |
Without championship length to fortify it, the "executive" course at Sparrow Lakes GC makes effective use of the surrounding countryside, numerous ponds / lakes, strategic bunkering and smaller greens to toughen it up. This layout places a premium on club selection, tee shot placement and a good short game and presents a fair challenge for players of all ages and playing abilities. With greens nestled among secluded woodlots and tucked behind bunkers and ponds, the course is among Niagara's better layouts and certainly its best short track. ( more ... ) |

| The Heron course is demanding on two counts - its length and the numerous lakes which come into play on all but four holes. This is a driver's course where numerous ponds eat up errant or lesser tee shots. The course features generous fairways, numerous fairway bunkers, and large, gently contoured, speedy greens. Without a lot of mature trees, the "links" elements of the course - fairway bunkers, mounding, firm greens, ponds, fescue and perimeter woes - take over, making the Heron course challenging for even the best players.
