Niagara Golfers Guide Featured Course Stories

Carved out of the picturesque Niagara Escarpment, and nestled between Rattlesnake Point and Mount Nemo, Crosswinds Golf and Country Club provides some of the most beautiful views of natural landscape in the area.

With two huge rock faces located to the north and south and rolling scenic farmland to the east and west, Crosswinds Golf and Country Club will make every golfer wish they brought their camera. Opened in 2001, Crosswinds is well on its way to becoming one of the best public golf courses in the province.

The significance of the Crosswinds name is both self-evident and mysterious. The mystery lies in the story told by locals that there is one spot on the course where the wind will blow in all four compass point directions at once. But don't let a breeze or two discourage you, Crosswinds provides a pleasant test of golf emcompassing both ball control and shot-making.

The course design is Scottish Style Links golf that plays hard and fast like the British Open with waving fescue, lightning greens, perfectly - manicured fairways and strategically - placed pot bunkers.
