Its 18 holes sit on the bluffs over-looking the lake and a 150 ship harbor. On top of these bluffs the terrain is relatively open. However, these lakeside hills are punctuated by thickly treed coulees and ravines which affect play on several holes. Because of a prevailing breeze off the lake (which has a habit of curtailing the distance obtained on too many drives) the course will sometimes seem to play as long as Lake Diefenbaker's 500 mile shoreline. If you fail to judge the wind correctly, don't be surprised to find yourself chalking up a penalty stroke.
