Baskets and tee pads are pretty well marked so there's only a couple of spots that are harder to navigate in regards to finding the next hole. Although there are admittedly a couple of holes that are pretty ridiculously laid out for play (hole 18 comes to mind with a ridiculously long and narrow tunnel and then a 90 degree right turn to the basket), but that's all part of the challenge I suppose. Probably among my top 5 or 6 Ontario disc golf courses, but minus 1 star as it's pricey to play comparatively to other courses. Entering Christie Lakes Conservation Area has a $15 fee for the driver of the car, and $5 additional for every person in the car.

It was a boring Sunday afternoon and after spending the last few days cooped in, I needed to get…read moresome fresh air. Trouble is, where I live is way too busy and even thinking about doing something relaxing seems out of the question. Hence I was so surprised when this park, just a short drive away, came up. Centennial Park is wonderful. A quiet, but not too quiet, little escape. Free parking is a bonus, with a beautiful conservatory as you enter full of lush greenery and plants galore, you'll be sure to spend a couple of lazy afternoons here. You can take a nice stroll around, sit by the river, play disc golf or even have a barbecue with friends or family. Definitely one I will be visiting again. Washrooms are also in the conservatory and are very clean!

This beach is pretty awesome if you want to get in some sun and have some space for activities on…read morethe beach. The beach is really long and has a lot of space. There's sand, there's grass and there's a few pavilions nearby that serve food. When the time is right the beach can look crowded but is never too crowded with the length of this place. I love coming here to play some beach volleyball. If you're ever short people you can always find some people wanting to jump in for a game. We've found some pretty awesome, friendly and somewhat decent players sitting along the beach looking for a game to jump into. Everyone's pretty respectful when they jump into a game trying to determine what they shouldn't do. I've never gone swimming in the water but then again I wouldn't really going swimming in either of the lakes in the Niagara region. If you're looking to play some soccer or football you can spread out around the beach and you're guaranteed space. There are a lot of families around so be on some decent behavior. Now to some of the bad in the area. I've never had to park here but it looks like it could be a nightmare. If you don't absolutely have to park here I sure park here, otherwise you might want to park elsewhere as trying to get in and out of here can be a pain. I was dropped off on numerous occasions on a busy summer and it looked like rush hour traffic trying to get out. Depending on the breeze the area stinks but I guess that's what happens when you're close to the sewage plant. I haven't tried any of the restaurants nearby but you should definitely stock up on supplies and sunscreen if you plan an afternoon here. I'll be back for another game of pickup soon! PS - To some of you guys, the speedo was never a good look :)

This review is for the restaurant, Boardwalk Pub…read more We came here because it was recommended to us by our hotel concierge since we wanted to see what Canadian "beaches" had to offer. We entered through the front doors facing the parking lot which was misleading because it looked like a poorly kept McDonald's. We made our way towards the Pub itself and were seated right away outside on the patio. They were undergoing some construction (as the rest of Toronto City) and had to sit through some noise and dust. The owner/manager apologized for it though. What he SHOULD have apologized for was the waiter's SLOW SLOW SLOW service!!! it was around 2 p.m. when we arrived and there were some people there just lounging around and hanging out. We didn't expect lightening fast service since we too were hanging out, but it became unreasonable when we had to wait about 15 minutes for our beverages (including water) and then had to wait another 45 minutes for our food to arrive! Our waiter paid more attention to his buddy patrons than us and took him extra long to finally get our check to us. The food was pretty good. the nachos are presented on a flat baking sheet (which is a little off putting to the eye, but completely functional for toppings). The pizza was good and our friend who had the halibut sandwich also said that was good. The location is great and the patio is the perfect atmosphere on a lazy weekend. I just wish the service was better.

Although, that could be because of the more open nature of the course, meaning most of the litter blows into other areas. Signage is good and the course seems maintained. This past spring was very wet, with record (or near record) rainfall which left parts of holes 1-4 under water. Drainage does seem to be an issue in areas due to the lower nature of the land up here. Would be nice if they could improve that somehow.

Plenty of parking and nicely plowed. Fun!

Early morning, it's quiet and peaceful and all the birds are out singing. The beaches are also empty at that time, giving you plenty of breathing room to just sit and admire the beautiful waves and water. You could dip your toes too, but Lake Ontario is not that warm, heh. The sand dunes have eroded in recent months due to high water levels, but conservation efforts are taking place. And I know cormorants get a lot of hate, but they are magnificent birds. Watching them fish, and take off from the water is quite a sight. Please don't let this gem be ruined by the province's plan for a bigger airport.
