David Moote, head of one of Canada’s pre-eminent golf course design firms, was hired to enhance what was already a hidden gem. Pheasants roaming the course may startle you, but the real surprise occurs at the three-hole stretch of 11, 12 and 13. From the 11th green, you suddenly get a panoramic view of the surrounding farmland and dense forest. The 12th is a breathtaking par three, where you hit from an elevated tee to a fast, sloping green surrounded by traps. The 13th is a tough, short par four; accuracy off the tee is key on this dogleg left, with a long pond on the left side of the undulating fairway, which climbs to an elevated green protected by trees. The driving range boasts target greens and all-grass tee decks. The 15th hole is now a longer par four, with several ponds coming into play; the 18th is a completely new finishing hole, at 366 yards from the tips, with a slight dogleg left to a sloped green protected by traps.

18 holes, 6,950 yards, par 72
