Copper Creek Golf Club (11191 Highway 27) offers play for all skill levels and is ranked among the top 50 of all golf courses in Canada. It offers world-class dining and an immaculate event venue overlooking a breathtaking view. Now, wrap your head around these breathtaking golf holes. Water is a factor on half a dozen holes, including the 508-yard first hole, where it runs down the left-hand side of a fairway that leads to a green protected in front by a sentry maple tree. The par-three eighth hole is a real beauty, played across water to a multi-tiered green. The back nine begins with the toughest par four. These 459 yards of golfing challenges start from an elevated tee position toward a thin sliver of fairway framed by water to the left and forest to the right. The home hole is the longest par five on the card at 565 yards and is played to a green surrounded by plenty of bunkers. Are you excited to get out there yet?
