Share in their appreciation of the game. You’ll never look at golf the same way again.

Located in Vineland atop the scenic Niagara Escarpment, Twenty Valley Golf & Country Club takes its name from the 20-mile creek, which comes into play on a number of holes, that carved the valley that runs through the golf course. The idyllic, rolling landscape provides plenty of dramatic elevation changes that cause tricky uneven lies throughout. The layout features large, undulating greens that are known to move fast and several strategically placed bunkers. Twenty Valley Golf & Country Club's signature hole is the par-3 13th, which plays uphill and over the Twenty River to a medium-sized green that is precariously perched on top of a stone wall.

Recognized as one of Niagara's best courses, Peninsula Lakes GC has been repeatedly listed on the Toronto Star's Bogey Man's Top 18 GTA / Niagara courses.   Peninsula Lakes GC features bent grass throughout (tees, fairways, greens), multiple tee boxes and short rough. There are numerous strategically placed fairway bunkers and most greens are guarded by generally small, shallow, very playable sand traps. Peninsula Lakes' mid-size greens are as good as any in Niagara, putting fast and true. As the name suggests, the original Quarry Course (3204 yards / par 35) is defined by a descent to the quarry bottom and a gradual return to the clubhouse atop its rim. The Quarry nine includes four (4) large "lakes" which can come into play on holes # 1, 2, 5 and 6. The fairways are generous, but well defined by numerous bunkers and perimeter hazards, including rough, mounds, scattered trees and OB. Peninsula Lakes GC - Quarry # 1 The Hillside Course (3260 yards / par 36) is adjacent to the clubhouse and the Quarry Course and completes the original 18-hole layout. It is consistent with the Quarry Course in that ponds come into play on several holes, including # 4, 5, 7 and 8. This nine more so than the others makes imaginative use of its many lakes and offers some very scenic hole settings. Peninsula Lakes GC - Hillside # 7 The Orchard Course (3221 yards / par 35), already looks as though it has always been there. The first few holes makes good use of elevation changes, while still more "lakes" define holes # 6, 7 & 8 later in the round. While a bit flatter and straighter than the other nines, the Orchard Course is a bit narrower and plays a bit longer than the others.

The friendly staff at Oaklands is always ready to help you meet your individual needs.   Oaklands Golf Club is a 6100 yard course that is challenging enough to satisfy the best golfers in the game and yet practical enough that the casual enthusiasts need not plan a two day stay to complete the full 18 holes Many of the fairways at Oaklands are on the narrow side and water comes into play on a few holes. The most challenging hole is the 195 yard par three 2nd. Driving from an elevated tee with out of bounds to the right, you'll want to lay up but not in the low lying, sometimes water filled depression in front of the green protected by a sand bunker that spans 80% of the front portion of the green along with trees lining each side of the approach to this small elevated green. Oakland's signature hole is the 11th, a 164 yard par three. Here you must drive down a chute with trees along the left and a steep grade to the right. Surrounded by trees, the green is heavily sloped, making it a difficult target to hit and hold on. Your tee shot must be to the top right of the green, but beware the sand trap strategically placed to catch the slightest mistake. Pin placements near the center of green, count on three putts. Another plus while at Oaklands is the driving range. It offers a choice of two levels with natural turf, rather than the more common driving mats.
