Canada Redtail Golf Course, Ontario
Early in the 1990s,two Canadian businessmen, Chris Goodwin and John Drake, were introduced to Donald Steel & Company. They had a golfing vision and the result, Redtail, has since gained a mystical reputation in North American golf. Chris and John provided an unambiguous brief to create a fiendishly difficult course. “Following from Cypress Point and Pine Valley”, they instructed, “our green areas will be extremely challenging almost to the point of being unfair”. The course winds along and over steep ravines and sand hills, making it an incomparable place to play golf, even if the greens will accentuate every possible frailty. The course involved a tiny amount of earth movement, something like 50,000 cubic yards and, in 1992, cost just over 1 million Canadian dollars for the course and irrigation system. It was recently voted in the top five courses in Canada.
