Top it all off with 8-10 false front greens. After that it’s the rough and tumble trees and underbrush of Nova Scotia so be prepared to say good bye to at least 2 sleeves of balls. Where the trouble comes in is the narrow fairways and challenging bumps and slopes which often push everything to the woods. The course is visually appealing and each hole is it’s own. Speed of the greens is great and consistent. Most tee boxes are a mess and greens are hard making it difficult to stop the ball in most cases. I, at a 9 handicap, felt 6500+ would be long with the usual wind and threat of danger. White for example, are 5970 yards and jump to 6500+ for Blues. To start, there is a large variance from one set of tees to the next. This is a nice but extremely difficult golf course to the point of unfair for most golfers.

As I said, hopefully the place will be gorgeous when finished, but expect to see dirt, rocks, debris and heavy equipment for now. You can also see the position of the carts ahead of you on blind par 4s and 5s.Īll in all, a nice course, though I'd only make it a 'regular' player due to my proximity to Timberlea. GPS is provided in the power carts which is nice. This is a very unforgiving course and, as such, I wouldn't recommend it for high handicappers.

I'll be curious to see what the facilities and surrounding area look like when all the construction, debris, and grounds are finished. As things stand at the time of writing (May 2018) the grounds and surrounding area are really, really rough and under development. The area is under active construction / development, yes, but that shouldn't really affect my rating of the course which is tough and beautiful.Ī well-maintained and TOUGH course. The course and practice facilities are consistently in fantastic shape. EDIT: Been back a few times now to play and to practice.
