点评:Hi, as a relatively new member of Sunset Ranch, let me provide you with an average golfer’s review of this course.
Sunset Ranch is a very relaxed setting, the staff are friendly, and everyone is welcome.
Limitations:
If you’re looking for a resort experience this isn’t the place for you - visit Okanagan Golf Club or Predator Ridge for this.
If you’re looking for a full service practice facility - again not the place for you as Sunset Ranch has no driving range, but there are newly installed nets to hit into before your round.
What you do get;
Sunset Ranch is objectively (based on slope) the most difficult course in the Kelowna area.
- the course is very straightforward - there are no blind tee shots.
- the course is built on the side of a mountain. It’s walkable, but a workout.
- the course is generally in very good condition from April til October.
- there are no level lies. Every shot is uphill, downhill, or a side hill lie. Upside: you get to practice using the slope adjustment on your range finder.
:)
- most fairways are either narrow, lined with full size Douglas fir trees or both. Hit it straight as a wayward shot will leave you little chance of hitting the green in regulation.
- the greens are devilishly fast - stupidly fast. They say they are typically 11 - 11.5 on the stimp meter ( not sure what that even means) but I do know that an aggressive putt can and will roll right off the green. Oh did I mention that greens 2 and 16 are tiered - land on the correct tier or..well..good luck
- there is a creek in play that runs along fairways 1,2, and 14, and protecting the greens on holes 6, 13, and 18. You’ve been warned.
- the bunkers, while few in number, are wonderful in that they are well maintained and filled with a fine sand (not a gravel pit like some courses)
Well that’s about it.
翻译:嗨,作为 Sunset Ranch 的一名相对较新的会员,让我为您提供一个普通高尔夫球手对这个球场的评价。
Sunset Ranch 是一个非常轻松的环境,工作人员很友好,欢迎所有人。
限制:
如果您正在寻找度假体验,这里不适合您 - 请访问 Okanagan 高尔夫俱乐部或 Predator Ridge。
如果您正在寻找全方位服务的练习设施 - 这里也不适合您,因为 Sunset Ranch 没有练习场,但在您打完一轮之前有新安装的球网可供击球。
您得到的;
Sunset Ranch 客观上(基于坡度)是基洛纳地区最难的球场。
- 球场非常简单 - 没有盲打发球。
- 球场建在山的一侧。可以步行,但需要锻炼。
- 从四月到十月,球场通常状况非常好。
- 没有水平球位。每次击球都是上坡、下坡或侧坡球位。好处:你可以练习使用测距仪上的坡度调节。
:)
- 大多数球道要么很窄,要么两旁长满了全尺寸的道格拉斯冷杉,或者两者兼而有之。直接击球,因为偏向性的击球会让你几乎没有机会在规定时间内击中果岭。
- 果岭速度极快 - 快得离谱。他们说果岭的推杆速度通常在 11 - 11.5(不确定这是什么意思),但我知道一个激进的推杆可以而且会直接滚出果岭。哦,我有没有提到 2 号和 16 号果岭是分层的 - 落在正确的层级上,或者..好吧..祝你好运
- 有一条小溪沿着 1、2 和 14 号球道流淌,保护着 6、13 和 18 号洞的果岭。我警告过你。
- 沙坑虽然数量不多,但维护得很好,里面填满了细沙(而不是像一些球场那样的砾石坑),非常棒
就是这样。
