Golf... If waggling and whiffing mean something to you then a golf vacation is likely in your future, and among Niagara attractions, golf is at the forefront. From public to private, designer par 72 to simple par 3, Niagara Falls golf caters to the most discriminating duffer with a world-class roster of courses. With eight golf courses-including a John Daly, Stanley Thompson and a Rees Jones-Niagara Falls keeps golfers on their toes, offering up the much needed variety required of a golf getaway (and one of the longest playing seasons in North America).

Niagara Falls is home to three of the Globe & Mail's "Top 100 Public Golf Courses in Canada," while an impressive selection of three private courses, including a few with accommodations on site, round out a successful Niagara Falls golf vacation.

With so many golf offerings, most Niagara Falls hotels now offer golf packages that include accommodations, dining at Niagara restaurants, and 18 or more holes at courses around town. And check the Niagara events calendar periodically for updates on Niagara golf tournaments.
