Slice your tee shot, or any subsequent iron, and you ll be soaking your ball saver for sure. It s a straight unimpeded shot to the green, with only a tiny bunker on the left hand side of the green to cause you any harm. A three iron off the tee does just nicely, and only a decent putter is needed to pull off a par. Both are lined entirely on the right side with trees, and both have lakes on the left, making hooking a wet experience. Thankfully, the back nine lightens up the degree of difficulty just a smidgen.
Signature holes twelve and sixteen are things of beauty.
The par five 528-yard twelfth is straight as an arrow and totally encircled with trees. A large sand bunker sits on the right side about 100 yards from the green, and a tiny sand trap protects the green on the left side. Hit your shots straight and a par five is certainly not impossible. As you huff and puff to the eighteenth hole, you re faced with a par five 526-yard hurdle, with a huge sand bunker on the right side starting halfway down the fairway and ending almost at the green. After enduring Rosedale s leviathan links, we wearily piloted our golf carts back to the clubhouse.
