Burlington Springs Golf & Country Club
Semi-private, very picturesque, regulation par 72 course nestled on the hilltops of
the Niagara Escarpment. Home to LPGA player Barb Bunkowsky-Scherbak, this mature course was
built 44 years ago and is always kept in great condition. Once a course that was easily
conquered by the long hitter, recent improvements have lengthened it considerably, adding more
than 450 yards over its 18 holes by pushing back the championship tee boxes. In 2005, more
bunkers filled with cayuga sand were added in strategic areas to create more interest and add
a further degree of difficulty. A 14 million gallon reservoir system adds beauty and
challenge, providing lots of water hazards throughout the 18 holes. The Bluegrass fairways are
beautifully contoured and fully watered as are the tees, and the fantastic undulating,
pencross greens are the best in the area and are always maintained in impeccable condition.
All levels of player will find this course interesting. Three CPGA pros are on staff, and
lessons are available. There is a large all grass driving range. For 3 consecutive years there
has been little increase in green fees which range from $39 to $51 to $16 for twilight
golfers. We have also been working hard on the cart paths which are now
completed
