Chippawa (Alternate Tees) Course
Legends on the Niagara Golf Club

About this course
The Chippawa course at Legends on the Niagara represents a collaborative design effort between Canadian architects Douglas Carrick and Thomas McBroom, opened in the late 1990s as part of a 36-hole facility situated near Niagara Falls. The course occupies relatively level terrain characteristic of the Niagara Peninsula, with the routing taking advantage of natural drainage corridors and existing vegetation. The design philosophy emphasizes strategic options from the tee and around the greens, with multiple tee boxes allowing for varied presentations of each hole. The layout features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with water hazards coming into play on several holes and bunkering that defines landing areas and green complexes. The course shares the property with its companion Battlefield course, and both designs reflect the architects' attention to playability across different skill levels while maintaining challenge for accomplished players. The alternate tees referenced in the course name provide additional yardage and angle variations, creating different strategic demands on subsequent rounds. Legends on the Niagara operates as a public facility and has established itself within the competitive Ontario golf market, hosting regional amateur events and corporate outings. The clubhouse serves both courses and provides standard amenities expected at a modern daily-fee operation. The Niagara Falls location places the course within a major tourist corridor, though the property itself maintains a quieter, more pastoral character removed from the immediate urban development surrounding the falls.
