New 9-hole course in Orleans?

[sharkshooter]

I think someone is building a 9-hole (par 3) course in Orleans beside Chuck Brown's.

Does anyone know anything about it?

Yeah, the owner of the Driving range is building the course and it will apparently be open in the spring. He was hoping to have it opened earlier, but the dirt was harder to work with than they thought (frost, water, etc...).
They have an artist rendered drawing of what the course is suppose to look like on the wall by the drink machine.
It looks pretty nice.

Yup - it's a Graham Cooke design

Wait a minute - Graham Cooke is also designing Anderson Springs in Ottawa? - Could that be Gab Patterson's new course at Anderson & Leitrim???

[Kilroy]

Yes in the Ottawa area Graham Cooke designed:
Emerald Links
Cloverdale Links
Anderson Links (not yet complete)
The new 9 holes at Glen Mar
Thunderbird 9 hole par 3
Redesign of the original Dome Hill into The Dome and then a few holes redesigned someone at by Clublink into the current Haute Paines.

I think that's it locally , but they have done a lot across the country

Thanks, guys. I was thinking this would be perfect for taking the family for 9-holes. My kids are 8 and 10 and this is their first year playing. We played Thunderbird 9 on Saturday, but something in Orleans suited to them would be awesome.
