120 ontario Profile Thundering Waters Opened in 2005, Niagara Falls' Thundering Waters is John Daly's first Signature layout in Canada. This 6,512 yard golf course features the high risk-reward style that John is famous for. Selecting John Daly and his firm as the course designers has turned out to be an inspired move.
