It’s easy to see why Rocky Crest has become a critical darling, staying near the top of national rankings since opening in 2000. Located off the northern edge of Lake Joseph, near the pretty village of Mactier, the Tom McBroom layout is all about subtlety, not the all too prevalent sledgehammer style of architecture. While some new courses have tried to introduce razzle-dazzle by bulldozing the land and erecting artificial waterfalls or mini-mountains, McBroom has used the local talent to make Rocky Crest stand out, exposing the great hunks of granite that run beneath the course’s surface, and using them to frame the holes. The 16th is a prime example: a chunk of rock as wide as three Escalades poking up in the centre of the fairway gives golfers the target line and the key for going at the green. In order to play Rocky Crest, golfers must be either ClubLink members or guests at one of the Delta Muskoka properties.
