Ben,
The site really does look amazing. I am very anxious to see what interesting features Rod Whitman incorporates on such a dramatic site.
That looks like quite a 1st hole! Will the green be set close to McIsaac's Pond over on the right side of your photo? So, I assume the most advantageous line of play for the tee shot is hugging the right side near the water, which would leave a shorter and easier approach shot?
