The
Pines course is a Stanley Thompson masterpiece that was modernized in
1999 with a completely new irrigation system. The Pines is carved out
of a superb setting through an evergreen forest. Many professional golfers
consider this to be one of the most challenging and picturesque courses
in the country and it has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments.
The
course is characterized by a winding brook that has been dammed to create
two outstanding par three holes - one of which is the signature second
hole. The par 5 number seven hole is a winding, dipping adventure, rated
one of the most difficult holes in Canada. When golf writers across
Canada were asked to select two of the most picturesque and challenging
golf holes in the country, the par 3 second hole was one of their choices.
This often photographed hole has been the scene of many thousands of
golf balls splashing in the pond and lots of frustrated golfers.
