We had a tee off time of 9 a.m. and the dew was still present but you could tell that things were warming up. We had a short session on the practice facility (a real treat) before being paired up with Joe, a retired businessman and farmer, and Dexter, a junior high student - both members! It was great to be on a course that was designed to be walked and with two knowledgeable players who could give you tips on where to go after each green and how best to attack the next hole. The pace was steady, despite the course being busy.
Brudenell is located on the Brudenell River and is a well established course of more than 40 years, with beautiful mature plantings. It has mostly broad fairways and was in perfect condition for a game. There are six each of par 3's, par 4's and par 5's, so it's a well balanced course too, with lots of interest for everyone. It's hard to imagine how golf can get any better than this - beautiful, challenging and yet rewarding, all on a perfect fall day that felt more like summer. As the website says, you should plan a vacation around this course - enjoy.
The visible wildlife were chipmunks, squirrels, crows, seagulls and lots of Canada geese.
Hope to play our last course, Mill River, in a couple of weeks when the fall colours will be at their height. Until then, make the best of the fine fall days - I know that we are with 9 holes here and there! Jane
