Deloraine Golf & Country Club
Arranged in a semi-circle, the holes of the Deloraine Golf & Country Club radiate outwards from the town reservoir and the small valley in which it sits. In times when there is enough rain this reservoir will spill over into a ditch which runs through-out the course. Because the course lies in the foot-hills of the Turtle Mountains, its fairways are reasonably hilly, contributing to some very interesting lies off the tee. Otherwise, Deloraine’Äôs fairways are reasonably open, allowing you to throw caution to the wind and go for maximum distance on most of your drives. You will need that distance on Deloraine’Äôs most challenging hole, the par four 2nd. This hole seems much longer than its 407 yards because it plays uphill over its entire length. Additional problems are created by heavy undulations in the fairway, which prevent most drives from getting extra distance once contact with the ground is made. Other challenges on the course come from the reservoir which creates formidable water hazards on the 3rd and 4th holes. If you’Äôre a big hitter, you can consider cutting the corner (at the risk of getting wet) on the 4th in an effort to set up a very short approach to the green.
