Exploring Niagara
Golf

With over 30 courses, from championship to executive, Niagara's golfing destinations are a true challenge for the duffers and professionals alike.  The 30+ courses in the region are lead by perhaps the single-mose incredible public golf course in North America, Legends Of The Niagara.  Legends is a 45-hole complex situated on a 700 - acre parcel of land adjacent to the spectacular Niagara River and the site of the historic 1814 Battle of Chippawa. Legends on the Niagara is the proud host of the 2004 BMO Financial Group Canadian Women's Open.
