Re: Thundering Waters
I wasn't sure what to expect from TW given all the "negative" press on the course but I did go there expecting poor service (which by the way is a pet peeve of mine). I was pleasantly surprised to find that the staff was friendly and not rude as I was expecting. I'll echo littleshooters comments that the range isn't very good in the sense that you can't hit drivers/woods and there isn't much grass to hit off either (on sunday they had people hitting off the mats). I also see now what people mean when they talked about the "cement" fairways and the rocks under the fairway. Now I think cement is a harsh word to use but the fairways were definitely hard but on the positive side they gave some extra roll. Overall I enjoyed the course it's a great layout and has some memorable holes but can punish you off the tee if you don't hit it fairly straight. In comparison Grand Niagara's fairways are a bit more forgiving. Conditioning on the greens were satisfactory nothing to brag about though. Given that we paid $60 with cart and range I'm content with the experience and would go back at the same price. I found the layout interesting enough to bring me back despite some of the conditions.

Actually, you made a pretty fantastic putt yourself from just off the green too for birdie on the very same hole ....I'm looking forward to our next game!
