CHAMPIONSHIP
GOLF COURSE
Canoe
Creek Golf Course offers a new look and a very rewarding golf experience.
Dave Barr’s first Signature Course is a refreshing approach
to design unlike any in the interior of British Columbia, styled
to test the accomplished golfer while accommodating the recreational
golfer – four sets of tees make it a pleasure for all. This
is an old look with a modern approach.
Featuring
grass-style cart paths that blend with the natural feel of the course,
Canoe Creek welcomes both walkers and riders. The fairways are framed
by natural grasses that present the golfer with a very strong ‘British
Isles’ feeling. Barr was able to recreate that look by incorporating
the natural features of the land into the golf course. The unique
layout allows the modern style player to bomb the ball off the tee
and land those long second shots onto the greens. The course also
sets up very well for the golfer wanting to play the old-fashioned
bump-and-run game.
Pot bunkers
are scattered strategically throughout the golf course; sometimes
these may not be all that friendly and simply avoiding them is a
good option. The fronts of the traditional Scottish pop up greens
are open and accessible; the greens are large and receptive with
soft undulations. The new hybrid A4 bent grass provides the golfer
with a putting surface that is excellent, fast and very true.
The
north nine holes are entirely on the former farmland, with rolling
hills, pot bunkers, marshes, and natural vegetation as the primary
defence. At 165 yards from the championship tee, the number 3 hole
is a par 3 which features a spectacular waterfall and pond.
Canoe
Creek itself winds its way through several holes on the south nine.
Elevation changes and the presence of Canoe Creek significantly
alter the degree of difficulty on five of these nine holes, including
both par 3’s.
It
all adds up to 18 spectacular holes that will invite you back again
and again!
Nothing
else plays like this!
