Do kid yourself - Predator isn't THAT easy...
I played both Talon and Predator the day of the Citizen Event and it was pretty windy at times. The wind was much more punishing on Predator though - it was mostly a sidewind on Talon.
Predator may look easy with all the fairway room and the large greens but consider that if you hit to any side of a fairway the typical bounce is off into water/woods/fescue - good luck finding your ball in there. Most of the greens are elevated off the fairway so if you're short you'll bounce backwards and be forced to chip close for par. Predator is longer than most courses as well and any wind will cause club selection chaos - doubly so for those who hadn't played it prior to the round. The fairway lies are also uneven and you can have the ball more than 3 inches above your feet at any time. Definitley a great links course.
Predator also boasts 3 200+ yard par 3's that are completley surrounded by water, fescue, sand and woods. If you don't hit the green a double bogey is a very easy score to card. It can certainly bite you hard if you're not careful
Now only if Clublink would scrap Haute Plains and purchase another Ottawa area course - I think there's a nice one in Barrhaven that would fit nicely!
