Additional Info:

N.B. The course isn''t in New York but I can''t select a Canadian location so I picked the closest state on the list. This course played host to the PGA''s Canadian Open in 2002 and LPGA''s Women''s Canadian Open in 2001. The signature first hole is a blind shot over a hill to a sharply left-right sloping fairway. Try to cut too much and you end up in the water on the right side of the fairway. A well placed tee shot will leave little more than a pitching wedge to the greed. It''s rated the toughest hole on the course. Having birdied it twice, I''m not sure why. The course only gets better from here. Immaculately groomed fairways and lightning fast greens make this course a joy to play. Accuracy is rewarded but this isn''t so-called "target golf". Go off line and you could be hitting out of trees or up from the bottom of a steep embankment with deep rough. The last hole on the outward half is a seemingly fairly simple par 5. At only abut 550 yds from the back tee, the temptation is to grip it and rip it and then go for the green in two. Fairway bunkers are the aiming point off the tee and the right one leaves about a 200 yd shot, the wrong one puts you at about 250. Push or pull the tee shot slightly and you''re in one of the bunkers and will be lucky to get on in 3. Up at the green, there are 3 large, deep bunkers just waiting for anyone who goes for it in two and isn''t as accurate as they might want to be. The 17th is the toughest hole on the course in my opinion (never have done better than a bogey). A par 3 at about 200 yds, it almost always plays with a strong side wind left to right or into a headwind. There are two large, DEEP bunkers on the front right of the green and the green slopes heavily back to front. If you don''t hit the green it''s almost a certain 4. The 18th is probably the most fun hole on the course. A sharp dogleg par 4, you hit from an elevated tee down a very narrow chute with a creek that runs down the left side. Club selection off the tee is critical because if you hit it through the dogleg at the end of the fairway, your second shot can be blocked by trees and you''ll be hitting over a large pond from the rough with bunkers in back of the green. The better shot is to be a little shorter off the tee and closer to the left side then you''re hitting right up the open front. Overall this is a spectacular course with many challenges. Low numbers can be had with good course management skills but high numbers are a definite possibility if you''re not on top of your game. No "trick" holes, everything''s right in front of you. Without question the best course I''ve played in Canada and that list includes courses like Glen Abbey, Banff Springs, Silver Tip, Chateau Whistler, Whistler Golf Club both courses at Kananaskis and others. Green fees are $175 on weekdays and $120 after 2:00 on weekends. Well worth it.
