Oak Bay Golf & Country Club (Ontario, Canada)
On the eastern shore of Georgian Bay,
Canadian golf course architect Shawn Watters, one of the country’s most
respected, has created a picturesque but sturdy course: this
just-opened, 6,503-yard track in the town of Honey Harbour, Ontario.
With islands in the distance, water woodlands, granite outcroppings, and
native shrubbery, the Oak Bay course offers a naturally challenging
setting. Featuring large green complexes and unbounded lakeland, the par
72, including the par-3, 170-yard all-carry 15th hole, presents a fair
but rigorous test to the most seasoned of golfers. - by Farhad Heydari, Ralph Lauren Magazine
