The
Ridge at Manitou
Just 20 minutes east
of Parry Sound the award-winning Ridge at Manitou is considered a
golfing sanctuary, surrounded by acres of unspoiled nature and
Manitouwabing Lake, near Parry Sound. It is framed by rock outcroppings,
and playing through forest and meadowland, it offers a unique experience
on every hole. The Ridge at Manitou provides an enjoyable round for
players of all abilities.
Spectacular scenery in the heart of the Canadian shield. The undulating
fairways were in pristine shape. The slope ratings are high and the
greens can be treacherous. The layout is kind to the average golfer with
large landing areas but seldom are the greens on the same plane.
Officially opened in July 2005 (and voted best new course in Canada for
2006 by Golf Digest), the forest-lined holes at the Ridge are typically
wide off the tee, then narrow as they bend past chunks of granite toward
elevated greens. The best hole is the last, a 503-yard par five that
doglegs left downhill, across a creek that slashes the length of the
fairway. As you turn the corner, the hole opens up to a vista of water
and trees, with the green teetering on the edge of the lake.
