Hole #2 - "Tamarack" |
||
|
The clearing to the right of this hole's fairway (at about the 200 yard stake) is
a unique ecosystem known as a "fen". Many fens, Monck's Landing's included, are
often characterized by the presence of an unusual tree called the Tamarack. A deciduous
conifer, the Tamarack stands alone as the only native needle-leaved tree in eastern
Canada that is not an evergreen, and behaves like a broadleaf hardwood in the autumn,
its needles changing from green into stunning hues of gold before being shed in
early to mid-November.

A Fan's Notes: Your wake-up call….the toughest hole on the course - a 430 yard uphill Par 4, with a cross-wind to boot! 2nd short is semi-blind, with only the flagstick visible against the horizon…..no backdrop to aid in your depth perception - make note of the day’s hole location. The fun doesn’t stop once you’ve made the putting surface…..two-tiered green allows for some devilish pin placements…….consider your bogey a moral victory. The 2nd time around, the 11th plays 10 yards shorter with the tee at a slightly different angle to the fairway….but that same two-tiered green still awaits you. |
