Big Sky Golf Club Hole #15 Tranquility

Big Sky Golf Club #15 Tranquility
If you have played Big Sky let me know what you thought of it because it looks like one of the more scenic courses in Canada. See the whole course "hole by hole" HERE.

What they have to say;
Number 15 is a short dogleg left and requires careful club selection. Use a fairway wood from the tee and a short iron approach. The 2-tiered green is shallow from front to back; you could easily find yourself facing a demanding 2-putt to save par.

DragonFly Golf Links, Renfrew Ontario

DragonFly Golf Links Hole #18
I had the opportunity to play this course on a very rainy day and still enjoyed it. The course was very wet in fact we were surprised it was open. I enjoyed so much that I look forward to going back to play it in the sun! We were even greeted by the course Superintendant/designer (might also be the owner?) who was very proud to give us some quick background on the course.
The back nine is the better of the 2 nines and the round is finished off by with a great little downhill par 3 hole surrounded by water except for the opening in the front.
#18 163 yard Par 3

The Ridge at Manitou

The Ridge at Manitou Hole #18 503 yard Par 5

It's all about the view. I had the opportunity to play Golf Digest's Best New Course in Canada 2006 and it was worth the drive. The course was in perfect shape and even though it was a wet and soggy day it was a joy to play. We were also lucky in that the sun came out for our last few holes to let us appreciate the view on #18. Not a tough par 5 but the green looks to be set in the bay of Manitouwabing Lake.

What they have to say:

What a treat it is to reach the fairway, from where the clubhouse and lake are visible. They're in view all the way in to the green, but you'll have to cross a tranquil stream before you get home. The green is 40 yards long and has plenty of subtle movement in it. Most golfers who have hit a good drive to the right side of the fairway will want to have a go at the green. It's just too difficult to decline the pleasure of watching one's ball sail away toward the lake and on to the green. And if you miss the green, well, there's ample pleasure in the nature of food, drink and views to be had in the clubhouse only a few steps away.

Hyde Mountain Golf Course Hole #4
Hole 4438 yrd, par 4 Handicap 3

Designed by Les Furber, Hyde Mountain features dramatic elevation changes and phenomenal lake views, Cliffside golf shots, and more than the occasional photo opportunity!

What they have to say:
A 240 foot drop to the landing area from the tee box makes this a signature hole.
Aim to the left side. Fairway slopes right.

Copper Creek Golf Club Holes #4 & #9

By far one of my favourite golf course in the GTA is Copper Creek Golf Club in Kleinburg. I got a chance to play it the other day for the first time this year and it didn't disappoint.

Very good layout, excellent conditions the greens were perfect, service was exceptional and it was fairly busy and still the pace of play was under 4 1/2 hours! Great day! Here are some of my pics!



Copper Creek Golf Club #4


The second best downhill view next to #10, the par four 4th hole provides a great view and a good tee shot. Not as long as the 10th but the 4th is well bunkered right and is all trouble left!
Par 4 plays 338-447 yards.

What they have to say:
Avoid the 3 bunkers right off the tee is ideal. A good drive leaves a relatively short iron to the long narrow green.


Copper Creek Golf Club Hole #9
Probably a better finishing hole than the par 5 18th, at least as far as the view! This par 4 gives you a nice view back up the hill at the beautiful clubhouse. The 9th requires another good tee shot to avoid the fairway bunkers right and pond down the left. A good drive leaves a short second shot to a slightly elevated green.

Great day at Copper Creek Golf Club!
