Feature Holes Descriptions:
The opening hole, a medium length Par 5, resembles a Muskoka feel with the downhill sloping fairway lined with exposed rock cuts to a green protected by a nasty pot bunker right and the splendor of the Dan River Valley as a backdrop. Number nine is a severe uphill drive playing at least 2 clubs longer than the card to a plateau blind green site that is all about club selection and execution. The back nine starts with a strong Par 4 in the shadow of the magnificent clubhouse and lodge, requiring you to avoid the bunkers right on your way to the heavily sloped green. The final hole is a beast, an uphill, dogleg right and with the approach playing downhill to a massive green. Only two well played shots will give you a chance to avoid a big number.
