Played a charity tournament a few days ago at Springbank.
Why it's great?
1. 2 different "9's" , the front definitely easier than the back
2. the "guidebook", it's not an easy course, but the free guidebook is super helpful
3. have mats and grass tee options at the driving range
4. beautiful views of the surrounding area
5. well-placed food / drink huts
6. well-stocked bar
7. reasonably priced
8. the course was in great shape
items to note:
1. bring extra balls, they are hard to find if you miss past the first cut
2. many "hidden" holes
3. the greens are challenging, definitely practise up!
4. it can be quite windy on the course, dress warm for those early AM rounds.
