Hole #1(Par 5 - 449 yards)
Out-of-bounds skirts the entire length of the hole to the left, and
there is a drainage ditch hazard, which splits the fairway,
220 yards from the tee. The smart play is to lay up short of the
ditch and go for the green with a short third shot.
There are two sand traps short on either side and one to the right of the
small green.
Usually, the prevailing wind blows straight down this fairway.
Hole #2(Par
3 - 201 yards)
The elevated tee gives a
panoramic view of the Exploits River and a clear view of the green
with a sand trap to the back and right.
This hole can be forgiving
but be careful of the out-of-bounds on the left.
Hole #3(Par
3 - 124 yards)
This hole requires making the right shot to clear the lateral water
hazard to the left and to avoid the sand traps in front and to the
right of the green.
An easy par can instead be a double or triple.
Hole #4(Par
5 - 482 yards)
There is a lateral water
hazard on the entire left side and a narrow fairway which slopes
from right to left.
There’s lots of room to bail out right and still
reach the green with a short third shot.
Shots to the bank past the
protective sand trap usually roll right to the green.
Hole #5(Par
4 - 262 yards)
The green is reachable from the hillside tee.
The long narrow green,
however, is protected by a deep sand trap on the left and a
sand trap and grass bunker on the right. The smart play is to hit to
the front of the green.
There is out-of-bounds on the left and woods on the right.
Hole #6(Par
4 - 362 yards)
A shallow drainage ditch
splits the dogleg left fairway 140 yards from the elevated green
which is well-protected with
tough sand traps on either side of a
narrow entrance.
Beware of going too long as out-of bonds is right
behind the green.
Hole #7(Par
4 - 411 yards)
This hole plays shorter than the given yardage. However, the longer
the drive the better the angle for your approach shot.
Out-of bounds
to the left and woods to the right necessitate a shot straight down
the middle of the fairway.
There is a drainage ditch 30 yards from
the green.
Hole #8(Par
3 - 150 yards)
This hole give a sweeping view of the Exploits River. Two sand traps
protect the green in front.
If you miss the green, it is better to
be just left or over the green.
Hole #9(Par
4 - 424 yards)
A drainage ditch splits the fairway 200
yards from the hilltop tee.
There is rough on either side of the
fairway so hit it straight.
The narrow green is well-protected with
a deep grass bunker on the left and a sand trap right.
There is also
a sand trap behind the green so the smart play is to the front of
the green.
Hole #10(Par 5 - 470 yards)
The tee is located on the edge of Rushy
Pond Brook to the left of the bridge.
A tee-shot of at least 160
yards will clear the hazard.
Keep to the middle as there is
out-of-bounds to the left and sand traps to the right of this
sloping fairway.
The greens on the back nine are much larger than
those on the front!
Hole #11(Par 4 - 355 yards)
There is out-of-bounds left and woods
to the right of the fairway which makes a slight dogleg left.
A sand
trap protects this elevated green on the left.
Hole #12(Par 3 - 145 yards)
A drainage ditch splits the fairway and there is a pond to the
right.
There is a sand trap left of the green and out-of-bounds
behind.
The hole is deceptively long especially when there is a
breeze.
Hole #13(Par 4 - 315 yards)
A narrow fairway with out-of-bounds on the left and woods on the
right make a straight shot a necessity.
Sand traps protect the green
on both sides.
A water hazard about 30 yards wide may prove a
challenge when playing from the back tees.
Hole #14(Par 4 - 395 yards)
There is out-of-bounds left and woods to the right of this narrow
fairway.
There is a water hazard in front of the green and a sand
trap to the right.
Hole #15(Par 5 - 535 yards)
There is a sharp dogleg right at the top of the sloping fairway.
The
fairway levels off before sloping down to the green protected by a
sand trap on the left.
Hole #16(Par 3 - 175 yards)
There is out-of-bounds on the left and
woods on the right.
The green is protected by a sand trap on the
right. Short and left is better than long on this hole.
Hole #17(Par 4 - 370 yards)
A beautiful hole with a panoramic view.
A good drive will enable you to reach the green in two shots.
If you
are short, the drainage ditch hazard in front of the green might
encourage you to lay up and settle for bogey rather than risk a
double.
Hole #18(Par 4 - 380 yards)
This is a truly magnificent hole. On
the left there is Rushy Pond Brook which has to be traversed on your
approach.
A drive down the centre of the fairway could leave with
200 yards or more.
By daring to hit close to the hazard you could
have 150 yards or less.
When you get across in two shots, it is a
great way to finish a round on a beautiful course.
