A Most Seductive Golf Course

How can you not want to try a round of golf when you approach the pro shop and see this off the first tee? Bud and I both succumbed to the lure of the Fundy Park Golf Course. Bud played three rounds in three days, me just two.

You can just picture your ball soaring across these beautiful fairways.

Just don’t look down or you’ll see the very rough rough and the ball eating creek. This is another Canadian National Park golf course designed by Stanley Thompson and is renowned for its elevated tees.

If you’re intrepid enough to walk this is your exit from the first tee.

Even in a cart it’s a steep descent.

And did I mention the ball eating creek? Here it is again across the fairway on hole two.

Looks can be deceiving. The fairway on hole four looks very inviting…

but to get up here to the green you have to cross another ball eating creek.

Here’s another set of stairs, up to the white tee on hole five.

The white tee on hole six looks like a lovely spot to relax,

but not so much when you see where your tee shot has to go.

Whether you’re successful or not, you are rewarded with quite a view when you return to your cart.

The tee shot on hole seven is bad enough,

But there’s another ball eating creek to cross before the green. We spent some time at this one.

Even the par three hole eight has its own creek guarding the green.

And hole nine has two creek crossings. One that you hope you soar over off the tee and another up there in the middle of the fairway.

If you make it past those there’s a steep uphill to the green.

Still, when you’re all done, tired from just nine holes, and you look back across what you’ve just played, you think “Gee that’s a beautiful golf course, it would be nice to try it again.”

And if we were staying longer I probably would.
