Pros:
Multiple tees to choice from, Red, White and Gold. All tees are gravel, but even after a lot of rain this summer, the fine gravel tees were in pretty good shape.
The new Prodigy baskets are in great shape.
Very good course map at the start of the course and good signs on each hole. (They were just at the Gold tee, but you usually come to those first on most holes.)
Heavily wooded course, with 3 open holes, good mix of left, right and straight on ace runs. Several multi-shot holes, including one Par 5.
Most fairways are cleared pretty well, with the path to the next tee pretty obvious.
Cons:
Very soggy the day I was there. #2 (or was it #3) had lot's of standing water, very difficult to play. Quebec had experienced a lot of flooding before I got there, so I'm hoping this was an unusual condition, but with the lack of elevation, there was not much runoff.
There are drainage ditches that run throughout the course, they are small, but contain a decent amount of dark water, luckily I didn't land in any. That's not the CON, but most are hidden from the tee, I don't recall if they are on the tee signs.
Several holes had no, to difficult to find, fairways. #2 and #5 come to mind.
The course finishes with a pretty basic, mostly open hole, with only a few trees to beat. Probably won't have a lot of scoring separation. Luckily, this is mitigated with the very challenging, multi-shot #17.
#1 was more challenging then you will find on most courses, a tight, double bending fairway. I hope new players don't get too frustrated after this one. (Of course, that fairway keeps you safe from the adjoining archery range.)
Other Thoughts:
When we decided to take a weekend trip to Quebec, I was happy to see there were 2 courses to play. I didn't bother to read the single review of 1.0, for this 12 hole course, knowing I would play it anyway. I can't tell you how pleased I was to find a challenging, 18 hole with plenty of upgrades.
As I mentioned in the PROS, there are 3 levels of Tees, Red, White and Gold. They are not 3 separate tees on any hole, 2 holes use the same tee pad (short holes), 8 have Red and White together and the other 8 have White and Gold together. So there is plenty of challenge for all levels.
Most of the longer tees are just longer, but a couple of holes, #1 and #11, require a tee shot near the shorter tee, then hitting the gap. After wide open holes #9 and #10, #11 requires a 200' drive, then a 90 degree turn to hit the gap.
Now that I've covered the 3 open holes, the remaining holes are all heavily wooded with varying degrees of tightness. A Tight hyzer and Annie, a narrow gap to hit right off the tee, an elevated basket, all with ferns covering the majority of the rough. A very picturesque course.
#17 is the signature hole of the course, 565' Par 5 from the Whites and Golds, the drive has to cover open ground of 200-250' and be setup with a gap in the trees, to cross a pond that is a least 150' across. Another gap has to be hit on the other side of the pond, then another 100' or so past guardian trees to the basket. Even the Red tee is not a piece of cake, a tight gap to hit from beside the pond, then past the guardians. Yea, there should be a wide range of scores on this hole.
In addition to this course now being 18 holes, it looks like it is used for tournaments, designated tee signs and circle 1 whiskers are now part of it. I wondered who could possibly give this a 1.0 review ... then after reading The Valkyrie Kid's review, I can see why it deserved that. Well, it has survived and is thriving, I'd love to give it a 4.0 to balance out the first review, but it feels more like a 3.5. That is where the course is now, well worth a visit if you are in Quebec.
