Golf in Niagara Falls

Summer is just about upon us in the northern hemisphere - hard to believe.

But there you have it, so it might be time to start thinking about a golf holiday - you know, take a break from the stress and worry of the Great Recession, etc.

If you live close to the greatest undefended border in the world - the Canada/U.S. border - there might be something here for you.

I'm talking specifically of the border between Ontario and New York State, down in the wine country of the Niagara peninsula.

The economic demise continues to make itself felt in the golf business and that means prices are dropping faster than eagle putts.

In the Niagara region on the Ontario side of the border are no less than 8 courses, ranging from very good to outstanding. And the stay-and-play deals associated with them are begging to be snapped up.

My personal favorites in that part of the world include Whirlpool and the two fine courses at the Legends on the Niagara.

Right now, American golfers won't get much break on the Canadian dollar which has surged ridiculously in the month of May.

But fear not. The greenback is in for another run higher against all major currencies. So the Canadian loonie should begin retreating fairly soon.
