Absolutely
everything about Predator Ridge Golf Resort - from the valet parking
to the luxurious clubhouse, award-winning cuisine, and phenomenal
golf course - lets you know that you have arrived at a world-class
golf resort.
Made up of
three nine-hole tracks, The Osprey, The Red Tail and The Peregrine,
Predator Ridge is a golf course you simply must include in any Okanagan
golf vacation. To miss this one would be like going to St. Andrews
and not playing the Old Course.
Predator Ridge
uses the perfect blend of rolling terrain, treacherous bunkers,
fast greens and thick fescue to bring you a golfing challenge you
will remember for years to come. While there are many holes to choose
from perhaps no other course better captures the philosophy behind
Predator Ridge golf than the par 5 eighth hole on the Peregrine
Course.
Stretching
510 yards from the tips the green is eminently reachable in two
for the longer hitters but by no means is this a hole where you
can simply blast away with impunity. The entire hole is a gentle
dogleg leg left with water running down the full length of the left
hand side of the fairway. Faders can start their drives out over
the water and have it bend back into the fairway while golfers who
play a draw will have to start the shot up the right side and hope
it does not bend too far back toward the water. Anything a little
erratic will either settle in one of the massive fairway bunkers
or come to rest in a watery grave. Hit a solid drive and you will
now have to decide whether you will go for the green or lay-up to
your favourite yardage. The only factors you have to consider are
the water short and left, and the bunkers short and right that guard
this elevated green. That shouldn’t be a problem right?
With
holes like these it is no wonder that even the most discerning golfers
have fallen in love with Predator Ridge. Just ask Sergio Garcia.
He played the course and immediately bought two town homes at the
resort. Maybe it’s time you found out for yourself what everybody
is talking about.
