Legends on the Niagara Usshers Creek
9233 Niagara Parkway
Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6T2
Housing two magnificent 18-hole championship courses, Legends on the Niagara is becoming a legend in itself. Golfers Guide calls Legends, "perhaps the single most incredible golf experience in North America" (Spring Edition, 2002). These courses were designed by renowned architects Douglas Carrick (Battlefield) and Thomas McBroom (Usher's Creek). Legends also houses a 45 acre, 360-degree practice facility and a teaching academy.
The greens at the Legends on the Niagara courses have been built to PGA specifications and are typically large, gently contoured and kind putts roll true and fast, but not too fast. Bunkers are deep, well drained, soft and feature Ohio-grade white sand.
Ussher's Creek Golf Course
A challenge awaits at Ussher's Creek, where the course's namesake can be found gliding peacefully through a number of the holes. In fact, the course was literally shaped and defined by the creek and it enhances to the understated, natural look that many visitors have come to appreciate. The course features a mix of water holes, links-style holes, and (predominantly) woodland holes with tree-lined fairways. Water comes into play on nine holes, and where a hole lacks water, scores of strategically positioned fairway and greenside bunkers abound. Golfers' precision will truly be tested here, where the course was literally carved out of the surrounding woods.
