Canada's top nine, devilishly fun holes - The Globe and Mail article

Shawn P. Watters and Associates' work at Oak Bay Golf Club in Port Severn, Ontario, was recognized in a recent edition of The Globe and Mail for having one of the top holes in Canada. The paper chose the scenic hole number 15 for the distinction, amongst other holes from some of the most notable courses in Canada including Banff Springs, Highland Links and Glen Abbey.

15th Hole, Oak Bay Golf, Port Severn, Ont.
Last season's launch of Oak Bay Golf and Country Club revealed one of Canada's most picturesque par-threes. Designed by Shawn Watters, Oak Bay's 170-yard 15th hole plays into the prevailing wind over a marsh to an elevated two-tiered green, perched like an emerald crown atop a gigantic outcropping of Canadian Shield. Completing this wild-and-wooly Group of Seven setting is a Georgian Bay inlet seen far to the left, while another bay laps the rocky shoreline to the rear of the tee box. oakbaygolf.com

It was also featured as part of Brian Kendall's Canadian Golf Traveller website, where Oak Bay's hole number 15th is labelled "Muskoka's New Signature Hole" - destined to become "one of Canada's signature holes".
