Battlefield
Located on the North side of the property lies the imposing Battlefield course. Douglas Carrick has managed to create a truly unique course.
The Battlefield course boast a decided links look and a mixture of holes that allows golfers to experience the generous rolling fairways and greens, however also offers a mixture of fairways bound by dense forest and brush.
With bunkers that look like they developed during the war of 1812, molded from bombs exploding on Carrick’s Battlefield fairways before being filled with sand like giant divots, this course is sure to provide some interesting shots. On the other hand, even with the deep bunkers Douglas Carrick has designed fairways that sweep across a gently contoured lakes-and-meadow countryside giving the golfer some breathing room.
Carrick’s design of a 19-acre man made lake that boarders both the 9th and 18th hole is breathtaking from any angle. With the nearby mist of the Falls and water on 6 other holes, Battlefields ponds have claimed their share of stray balls.
With the privilege of playing host to the 2004 BMO Financial Group Canadian Women’s Open, Battlefield won international praise from the worlds finest women’s golfers.
With a yardage, featuring four sets of tees, that stretch from 6271 (white) to 7309 (gold), it is no wonder that many are challenged by this extraordinary course.
Ussher's Creek
Located on the South side of this majestic property, Thomas McBroom has created a true masterpiece.
With its thick stands of deciduous trees and strong contours, Ussher’s Creek looks like a classic parkland course. The mature Carolinian forest along with a sea of bunkers are ready to snare any wayword strokes, and present an intimidating optical illusion.
With such a strong property, Thomas McBroom set the course softly on the land with flowing lines, moderately sized greens with slight folds, and strategic bunkering to create targets and indicate turns. As well, the base acreage allowed Thomas McBroom the rare luxury of creating a meandering course the promotes a feeling of privacy, with adjacent foursomes hidden from sight. The creek, for which the course is named, crisscrossed throughout the fairways and is weaved into nine holes providing both aesthetic enhancement and challenge. However, if this is not enough to intimidate the golfer, Ussher’s creek also host two other enormous ponds.
This traditional classic course is not without it subtle difficulties. In a tribute to McBroom’s ability, most of the fairway bunkers are created with Ohio Sand required an accurate shot to navigate. Ussher’s Creek also provided golfers with several holes which have been created to complement the natural woodlands and border both side of the fairways for a tighter play.
This strategically designed course boast a yardage stretching from 6185 yards (whites) to 7180 yards (gold).
Ussher’s Creek is rapidly developing a legendary reputation.

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or U.S.A side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.
The first Maid of the Mist was launched in 1846 as a ferry service between the Canadian and American sides, pre-dating by two years the construction of the first Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge at the site. However, with the opening of the suspension bridge, the ferry service lost business, and by 1854, became a tourist attraction instead with the launch of a more luxurious boat. The current captain of the Maid of the Mist is Captain Mark Keith of St. Catharines, Ontario.
