| The first hole is a downhill dog-leg right and the smart tee shot is hit to the left of the fairway avoiding a well placed bunker. A short to middle iron brings you home to a receptive green with a bunker on the right side |
| Hole two dog legs to the right and a well placed drive left of centre, avoiding the pond on the right, is a must. The green, back dropped by hardwood trees, has two critically placed bunkers ready to catch a less than perfect approach shot - be careful! |
| The third hole is a long uphill run requiring a drive over a marsh, a long fairway wood, and probably a mid to long iron to a postage stamp sized green. Nine bunkers will make your long uphill run seem even longer - birdies will be rare!! Your view of the Fox Meadow Clubhouse is spectacular! |
| After the last hole you now get a bit of a rest but not much! The fourth hole, a downhill par 3, demands a crisp iron shot to a very receptive green guarded by two front bunkers. Birdies could happen here! |
| The 5th hole is uphill with a gently winding turn to the right. Mid centre fairway is mandatory as fairway bunkers on both sides of the landing area will catch stray tee shots. Second shots have to come in the front door of the green because two more bunkers guard the entrance to the green. Two putts on this big undulating green will be an accomplishment. |
| Hole six will be a sleeper. It’s long, tree lined for your drive, uphill at the end, with five bunkers strategically placed, and a small green to top it off! Start your tee shot just to the left of the fairway pine tree and don’t let up until you sink that last putt! |
| The “signature hole” at Fox Meadows for sure ! Pick the right club, take a deep breath of clean Stratford air, and swing! A true risk-reward shot with a bail-out area on the waiting hillside but you still have to chip to a green almost completely surrounded with water. |
| Eight is a dog leg left that may see some fairway woods and long irons of the tee. Big hitters may be teased to cut the corner and have a shorter approach shot to a good sized green guarded by two bunkers. A birdie here will help your score on the front nine! |
| The ninth hole is a good par four where a generous landing area awaits your drive. Fairway bunkers and green side bunkers should not pose as much trouble as usual. Approach shots are to a larger elevated green and after this hole, you can rest for a minute and then head out on the back nine. |
| A good drive out of the chute allows you to hit a generous landing area. Watch out of bounds left, fairway bunkers, and avoid hitting over the green at all costs. Might be a birdie possibility with a sharp putt! |
| An elevated tee launches the golfer down to a beautiful treed par 4 with out of bounds left. Tee shot must avoid three stepping stone bunkers on the right side. Medium size green is nestled beneath a backdrop of hardwoods and is guarded by ever present bunkers. |
| A birdie opportunity with a mid to high iron shot. Green offers lots of challenging pin placements and a shot in any of three well placed bunkers will cancel out any birdie opportunity. |
| A strong par 4 , dog leg left, with a big pond waiting for stray shots. Second shots will be long irons and fairway woods to a nicely contoured green bordering on mature softwood trees. Most golfers leaving with a par will feel a sense of accomplishment. |
| Fairway fades away to the right with trees all down the left side. First, drive to a generous landing area and then hit to a 7500 square foot green. Watch out for the pot bunker to the right of the green. |
| This hole is completely surrounded by a mixture of mature hardwood and softwood trees. An accurate tee shot with mid to long iron could set up a birdie. Hidden pot bunker behind the green and tough pin placements over left front traps could eliminate the birdie or even a par. |
| Straight away tee shot through a short tree lined chute sets us a unique second shot. Bird’s eye view of a huge receptive green may be misleading. Possibly one more club will be needed. |
| Hit your drive to the right of the birch tree in the distance and possibly take advantage of the prevailing wind. The second shot requires both length and accuracy to a medium size green with traps waiting for any imperfections. |
| You are almost home but you have work to do. A beautiful long par 5 with lots of trees down most of the right side. Good drives will be cradled into the middle of the fairway. Drives to the left will find two yawning fairway bunkers. A long uphill second shot must be accurate to a tree lined avenue of trees. Approach shot to the green must avoid three huge bunkers and then two putts caps it off! |
