New Bond Head course by Jason Straka
The new course at Bond Head doesn't open until next summer, but here's a sneak preview courtesy of some photos sent to me by Brent Long. the first course has been an artistic success, though a questionable business venture. Jason Straka, the architect behind both Georgian Bay Club and the first Bond Head course, is again looking after this one, though it has a very different appearance from the original course.
Though I've yet to see the course in anything other than a preliminary state, Brent's photos make this look a bit more like Devil's Paintbrush than the first course, with its Friar's Head bunkering.
What is also apparent is some of the similarities with Dundarave, the Hurdzan/Fry course where Straka had his coming out party in Canada. The square tee boxes give the course a bit of a classic feel, but the look is quite modern.
Clearly the course is in varying degrees of construction. Some holes are complete, while others have yet to be grassed. What is also interesting is the degree of elevation change on the course. That is evident when driving into Bond Head (the new course is on the right as you head up the road).
It also looks like playability will still be a key factor. The fairways probably won't be as wide as the first course, but still maintaining the width of many of the newer courses. As I've mentioned, I have yet to see the course first hand. I'll be up at Bond Head on Friday and will take some more photos and get Jason's perspective on the design.
So how will the second course at Bond Head be received? That depends on how the business plan develops around the course. As the guys on Toronto Golf Nuts have said, at $80 Bond Head is a great value. At $180, it is empty. Determining the price point will be a big factor in how many golfers venture north of Toronto to play. At the very least, the courses have to have a comparable price point to Copper Creek, which has always discounted weekend afternoon rounds and is less expensive than Angus Glen or Eagles Nest to start with.
But none of that has anything to do with the actual design value of the course. If it is as good as the first Bond Head design, I think it can be judged a success. We'll see.

Bond Head is the latest in a series of high end public golf courses that cater to the corporate market to have opened near Toronto. sportsbook Designed by Jason Straka for Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry’s firm, this surely rivals last year’s best new course, Eagles Nest, by offering a bold vision full of options, fascinating bunkering and player friendly fairways. The questions about Bond Head really aren’t about the golf, but more on that later. As can be witnessed by the photos included on this review, Bond Head is certainly a striking golf vision. bet nfl Fairways roam widely, while penal, naturalistic bunkering abounds. Though badly named the “International Course,” the first of Bond Head’s planned layouts does have some similarity to heathland courses that abound in the U.K. It is a bit of a stretch, but OK — a bad name thankfully doesn’t make a bad golf course. The course starts off easily enough, with a slight downhill par four that can be played with a fairway wood and wedge. sportsbook But that’s where anything one could call mundane ends at Bond Head. The second hole is more reflective of the rest of the experience. From the tips, the second hole plays 433 yards, and that’s uphill. Though the fairway is generous, shots tend towards the right side and bunkers. From the approach position players can only glimpse the front of the green, making the shot more daunting than it truly is. The reality is that, http://www.enterbet.com with one or two notable exceptions, the greens at Bond Head are receptive. But the course is presented as a visual feast for the eyes, and Straka has been clever in the way he attempts to trick players into playing safer than they need to.
In his excellent article on the future of space travel, sportsbook["Heading Out" (7-8/05)], Neil deGrasse Tyson described some, but not all, of the new "green" space-propulsion technologies. One further possibility is the electrodynamic tether (ET), a thin cable that generates a current when it is pulled through a magnetic field. The tether would work best for objects in low orbit around a planet, such as Jupiter.march madness
Another "green" concept in space propulsion is "aerocapture." A probe approaching an atmosphere-bearing planet could slow down by deploying an appropriate shield or inflatable "ballute" (a combination balloon and parachute).www.canadacasino.com The probe would then make a grazing pass through a planet's atmosphere until it was gravitationally captured as an artificial satellite-a maneuver that can be done without using propellant.
