Tip #1
The first hole at the Pinestone Course is an attractive, interesting layout with a slight dogleg left. This hole provides a challenging introduction to the course.
It is a 457 yd. (whites) par 5. The major challenge on this hole is the brook that cuts across the fairway about 100 to 150 yards in front of the green.
The low handicap golfers (show- offs) should drive about 250 to 270 yards from the tee. This sets up a shot of about 180 to 200 yards over the creek to the green, and a possible birdie.
The high handicapper (the majority of us) should drive 180 to 200 yards landing about 140 to 160 yards in front of the creek. The second shot over the creek (we hope), will then set up a wedge approach to the green.
A well played first hole will set you up with the confidence for a good round on the Pinestone Golf Course
Tip #2
A few of the holes on the Haliburton Golf Courses are extremely difficult for the medium to high handicapper, and require study and accurate shot making. An example would be hole no. 7 on the nine hole Beaverbrook Course.
Beaverbrook is a rolling course with beautifully kept fairways and greens. The 7th hole provides a sharp right angled dogleg around trees and a large pond. The hole measures 355 yards if the golfer drives up the middle of the fairway, around the pond,and takes his second shot to the green from the
corner of the dogleg. Each shot requires precise accuracy.
The longer hitters may wish to risk a drive directly to the green over the trees, bush, and pond. This requires a high, accurate drive of around 240 yards to the smallish green. The higher handicap players should not attempt this shot.
The 6th hole is a par 3 of 217 yards. This test will show the golfer if he is capable of taking the direct approach to the 7th hole green, on that particular day. If he cannot reach the 6th hole green directly with a high drive, he should definitely not attempt the direct approach on the 7TH.
