Noteworthy Holes on the Front Nine
Hole 1 – The Joker
If you’re a fan of the Batman movies, you’ll love Hole 1 at Redstone, dubbed ‘The Joker’. Offering shots from various tees, the real beauty unveils itself from the black tee box. Here, Les Furber’s design signatures are immediately evident. The fairway stretches wide, akin to a football field, with a protective berm running down the left side. However, the right side presents a series of challenges with strategically placed bunkers and out-of-bounds areas lining the range. As you approach the green, The Joker entices with a gentle left-side slope that cradles your ball towards the green, while deep bunkers on the right await the unwary. This hole embodies a classic Furber design — choose your side wisely and stick to it, reducing hazards and enjoying the spectacle of opponents who find themselves on the more treacherous turf.
Hole 2 – “Easiest par 5 in the Kootenays”
Dubbed by a distinguished Redstone member as the “Easiest par 5 in the Kootenays,” this 438-yard hole from the white tees offers a favourable setup for those modest off the tee. The hole feels like a runway, with a generous fairway flanked by bunkers that magnetically attract balls. The approach to the split-level green plays shorter due to the elevation change, with white sand bunkers behind the green punishing overzealous players. Caution is key; any misstep to the right complicates your next shot with a challenging slope up to the green. True to its name, this hole can be a straightforward par or a tricky double bogey — it all hinges on three well-executed shots.
Hole 4 – The Beast
Meet ‘The Beast’, the toughest challenge at Redstone. This long par 5 demands a strategic approach from the tee, with a narrow path inviting only the bravest to attempt reaching the green in two. The second shot is crucial: go big and aim straight if you’re eyeing an eagle, but be mindful of the severe penalties for misjudgments. From the white tees, the smart play involves a tee shot just over the hill, followed by a layup before the daunting array of greenside bunkers. Your third shot faces an uphill battle, with putts generally breaking towards the creek. This hole offers a stern test across all skill levels and demands respect akin to that due a grizzly bear. Treat it with caution, and it might just treat you kindly in return.
Each of these holes at Redstone Golf Resort showcases unique aspects of golfing challenge and enjoyment, reflecting the thoughtful design and beautiful setting that make the course a must-visit for golf lovers.
