Member Play Day today, beautiful weather. Great golf course.
Results are on the GAP website. I was T4.
Sunnybrook has to be one of the most well-conditioned courses I have played. Greens are treacherous. Seemingly a lot quicker than at home (Greate Bay), and we have good, quick greens with plenty of contour. Above the hole...yikes.
Bunkers were simply outstanding to play from-fun, if playing from bunkers can be fun. Some of the rough seemed like peanut butter.
Everything Steve Shaffer said earlier was true. Great condition, nice clubhouse (simple and comfortable in its elegance). Some of the trees can be a little bit much at times, they could probably stand to lose a few handfuls of the ubiquitous spruce or whatever they may be.
It seems like most of the par fives are meant to be approached with a short iron or wedge. They are very well defended, and the greens do not seem designed to really accept shots with long iron or fairway woods/hybrids. My observation, and I may be wrong.
Outside of Fairways GC (Warrington), this was my first Gordon. I don't feel a lot of similarity with Flynn at all, or see much in the way of Flynn influence, just given that William Gordon was a member of Flynn's companies. Thoughts?
