Royal Niagara is a "must play" course of international standing. Playing over 7,000 yards from the tips, the course features sculpted fairways, undulating greens, cavernous bunkers, and an abundance of water. Nestled between the historic 120-year-old Welland Canal, the beautiful Bruce Trail, and the Niagara Escarpment, Royal Niagara is a stunning course to experience.
Royal Niagara was designed by Golf Course Architects Ted Baker & Associates, renowned for their work on numerous golf courses, including Brampton's Lionhead Golf & Country Club. Crafted in the best traditions of golf course design, Royal Niagara is a masterpiece: "This will be the finest golf course in the Niagara Region," declares Ted Baker.
Location is an important aspect in the creation of a great golf course, however the architect's ability to blend the course with the surrounding greenery is equally significant. "A great golf course should come out of the landscape effortlessly, as if the holes were already there," explains Ted Baker, who further states, "I design good golf courses. Once every ten years I get to design a great golf course. Royal Niagara is what I believe to be truly great."
Royal Niagara continues the legacy of Lionhead. Built by KANEFF in 1991, Lionhead immediately became recognized as the premier public golf facility in Canada. Royal Niagara carries on this tradition - offering Canadians and Americans public golf at a private club setting. |
