A course that looks easy at first with its wide fairways, but you will have to hit very accurate approaches to reach the greens, often hidden by strategically-placed trees and wide bunkers.
On the front 9, my favorite holes are the right dogleg opening par-4, slightly-uphill all the way, with a tree-lined fairway and a flag, partially hidden by trees, and the scenic left dogleg par-5 5th, with a tee shot over a winding river, halfway, landing near trees in the narrow corner, and a long second shot to reach the green.
I also like the picturesque left dogleg par-5 7th hole, with its wide fairway hugging an elongated lake on the right flowing all the way past the green, tough to reach with a one and tall tree and a few shrubs in front, hiding it.
If you are in a gambling mood, you will have to hit a perfect tee shot over more tall trees to reach the green of the short left dogleg par-4 8th hole, before moving on to the par-4 9th, where you will have to be careful with your second shot to avoid a small elongated pond (to the right of the green), with a lone tree and two little benches in the middle of a cute tiny island.
Coming back, you will start with the long par-5 10th hole, with two small bunkers, midway on the left on the undulating and sloped fairway and a long second shot toward the wide green, before facing two par-4 holes, with trees in the way, halfway, and near the greens.
Then, after the nice par-3 13th hole, with a small tree, right in the middle in front of the hidden and slightly-elevated green, and an elongated bunker (next to more trees) on the left, you will move on to two scenic holes, the “easy” par-4 14th, with a wide fairway hugging a big lake on the left (with another tree in the way of the green, slightly to the left), and the much tougher left dogleg par-5 15th, with plenty of trees on the left side, next to a lake, a lone tree in the middle of the fairway, and a long, risky and blind second shot over them if you want to try to reach its elevated green.
As for the last three holes, you will have to hit tee shots over a tiny elongated pond (on the par-4 16th), over a lake (on the par-3 17th) and over a river, across and winding its way past the green, partially hidden by trees (on the left on the par-4 18th).
Overall, you will have to be patient on this nicely-designed wide open par 72 Dark Rock Country Club course (another keeper from Bruce Ryder) if you want to finish with a decent score...

Excellent layout that plays great online, advanced, very dry, breezy, difficult pins etc. it is also very pleasing on the eye. many thanks once again Bruce, really enjoyed this one and had a real fun round.
