Course Description
Once the site of a prosperous bootleggers operation during prohibition, Whisky Run Golf Club is a picturesque 27 hole golf course located near the shores of Lake Erie just east of Port Colborne. Each of the three nines is unique in its design, length and challenge. After purchasing the property in 1984, owner Lou Nieuwland took a walk around the perimeter, came home, and drew up the plans for a golf course. The club's name references the numerous whisky bottles that were randomly discovered throughout the property when the club was being constructed.
