In
the tradition of Lionhead Golf & Country Club, the # 1 rated
public golf facility in the Greater Toronto Area, Kaneff
Properties Limited is pleased to announce a new jewel in
the crown: Royal
Niagara Golf Club.
Crafted
in the best traditions of golf course design, Royal Niagara
takes full advantage of the beautiful Niagara Escarpment
landscape, with fairways traveling up the escarpment, tees
located on the brink of the historic Welland Canal and holes
finishing along the old iron rail bridge.
Three impressive 9-hole courses combine to create an oustanding
27-hole facility, unsurpassed in beauty and course conditioning.
Royal Niagara will become a "must play" course of international
standing. Playing over 7000 yards from the tips, the course
features sculpted fairways, undulating greens, cavernous bunkers,
and an abundance of water. Nestled between the historic, 120-year-old
Welland Ship Canal, the beautiful Bruce Trail and the Niagara
Escarpment, Royal Niagara is a stunning course to experience.
Royal
Niagara was created by golf course architects Ted Baker &
Associates, renowned for their work on numerous golf courses,
including Bramptonıs Lionhead Golf & Country Club. Crafted
in the best traditions of golf course design, Royal Niagara
Golf Club is a masterpiece: "This will be the finest golf
course in the Niagara Region".
Location is an important aspect in the creation of a great
golf course. However, the architectıs ability to blend course
layout within the surrounding natural landscape is equally
significant. "A great golf course should come out of the landscape
effortlessly, as if the holes were already there." explains
Ted Baker, who further states, "I design good golf courses.
Once every 10 years I get to design a great golf course. Royal
Niagara is what I believe to be truly great."
Three
impressive 9-hole courses are currently under construction
and scheduled to open in May 2001: the Escarpment Course,
the Iron Bridge Course and the Canal Courses are being built
to the highest championship standards.
The
Escarpment Course
The
first five holes run due south to the base of the wooded Escarpment.
After the 5th hole, you travel to the top of the Niagara Escarpment,
returning downhill past the central pond to the clubhouse.
The
Iron Bridge Course
The
opening three holes run diagonally across the property to
the Iron Bridge. The 4th tee is nestled at the abandoned tunnel
entrance. The 6th hole returns to the Welland Ship Canal,
with a green perched above an old thundering waterfall before
heading back to the clubhouse.
The
Canal Course
True
to its name, the Canal Course is dominated by water. The 2nd
green is located immediately adjacent to the Welland Ship
Canal as are the 3rd tee and green. Large ponds are found
at each of the six finishing holes.
