Whitetail Crossing Golf Club is another Puddicombe Golf creation: the same people who brought you Redtail Landing in Edmonton and Coal Creek which we played two weeks ago. Mundare being predominantly an agricultural area, Puddicombe kept the old farm building and equipment to link present day Mundare to a not so distant past, just as Coal Creek is linked to its mining history.
Whitetail Crossing est un beau terrain de golf où on a conservé les ondulations naturelles, les marécages, les herbes naturelles dont la fétuque que l'on voit dans la photo ci-contre. Pour atteindre l'allée, Brenda doit jouer au-dessus du champs de fétuque et le marécage caché dans les herbes et sous le pont. Un coup de plus de 150 verges, donc particulièrement difficile. Il y a même parfois pire, au quinzième trou, par exemple, mon drive devait voler plus de 200 verges. Comme de raison, je me suis retrouver à l'eau.
Mundare is just over an hour east of Edmonton and Whitetail Crossing is well worth the drive. It is a fairly difficult golf course due to an exhorbitant amount of wetlands, fields of fescue and a challenging design, particularly on the back nine. At this time it still plays in fairly natural surroundings which is rather pleasant but, and there is a but, the master plan calls for some 600 residential lots of which only very few have been built. I am looking forward to playing it again next summer. As for the wildlife, it is fast disappearing south ... Let's enjoy what we have left. Click on the small pictures for a larger version.
Les outardes partent vers le sud, cliquer sur l'image de gauche pour les voir. J'imagine que les canards suivront bientôt.
