With Cobble Beach Golf Links, Doug Carrick has crafted a course that calls to mind the game's legendary seaside locations. Each nine winds its way through open meadow edged with mature woodlands, rising to provide commanding views of the course and Georgian Bay beyond, and then returning to the shore for a memorable finish along the bluffs. The generous rippling fairways call for strategic decisions influenced by the day’s hole locations; the large and receptive greens are easy to find, but their undulations guarantee a challenging two-putt if your approach is too far from the flag. The links-like character is revealed in the run of the turf, the billowing fescue rough, the pot bunkers that lurk to catch the errant shot, the surrounding contours of the greens, and the breezes off the water. Cobble Beach is a course you can play a hundred times, and it will never play the same way twice.
