Private Club experience

Course is in great condition although very wet. Free range balls before your round. Kid cleans your clubs after your round. Feels like a private club experience Will be back.

Windy weather
Used cart

Early Season Round

There were not many golfers out today. Two of us with a cart finished in 3 hours. The course was wet so it was cart path only. Absolutly no roll on the drives, most high shots plugged. So the couse played long. Typical Stanley Thompson design the greens are quick. I can only imagine how fast they will be in the summer. A good test of golf at a resonable price. We will definately be back.

Great Course

I have played this course a number of times over the last several years and I continue to enjoy this each and every time I have the opportunity to play it.

The course has always been in great shape, the service is good and I find that the pace of play is normally very good. It has a very good layout and provides challenges to almost all different levels of golfers. It is truly one of the nicer courses in the Niagara Region.

Played the course November 11th. Got a hot deal. The course was in great condition considering the time of year. We had a lot of rain fall prior. Rough was wet however greens and fairways were in great condition considering the rain fall we have had.
Restaurant and bar have been fully renovated. Looks great. Food was great as always.
New owners are obviously spending money, keep up the good work front and back of house. Thanks for a great day.

Slowest round of golf I have ever played

This is a decent course. We have played it several times. This time however was ridiculous. There were 2 foursomes I group ahead of us that were 3 holes behind. We had 4 ladies walking ahead of us and they were totally frustrated. At one point there were 4 groups on 1 par 4. The 2 groups were taking 7 to 10 minutes to Putt Out. On every hole. The problem was there was no Marshall at all. 5 .5 hours is just stupid. Unless I get assurances that there will be a Marshall in place I will never play here again.
I am totally appalled at the recent pace of play not just here. It seems that more people have taken up golf since the beginning of the pandemic, and they all think that what they see on Television is how you should conduct yourself on the course. What happened to the idea of ready golf. I remember it being a very much stressed way to play, especially on the green. I am sure tge ladies agead of us were members and they said it was the worst they had seen.

Worth the drive

Always look forward to my monthly trips to Fort Erie to play Bridgewater. In my books the best and friendliest staff in the business. Course was in great shape as usual. Greens rolling fast and true. Can’t say enough good things about this place. A+ 10/10

One of my favs

Always well kept and challenging. Some of the quickest greens in Niagara yet roll true…. Course facilities include an excellent restaurant for after round or an evening dinner out.

Bridgewater Fort Erie

Excellent layout. Rough was a little too long made for very difficult 2nd or 3rd shot. Greens were fast but a little more marked up than usual, probably because of the amount of rain recently which results in many deep divots that have been repaired but still show alot of acne!!

Traps need sand, some greens sketchy

I was hoping new owners would improve the course. Same old story, sorry to say. A good course but not a great couse.
