Gatineau re-design
Anyone can comment about the new design at the course? Rumors that there is a 1 kilometre. walk between one hole and and another ?
Thanks

The new design sucks and they ruined the course in my opinion. I hate the new holes (4-6) and the redesign of hole #12 (previously hole #10).
There's a couple of long walks - 6 to 7 and 17 to 18. The longest walk is 17 (previously hole # 14 by the driving range) to 18. It has added an extra 15-20 minutes to the round.

Thanks 3Putt. I suspected that it would make it longer to walk. Have not played it in along time and not going to.

I'm disappointed in the new holes plus you have 3 par 3's out of 4 consecutive holes and the new hole 4 (par 4) is a frustrating layout. You either have to lay up to about 200 yards on a short par 4 or carry it over 215 yards. In addition, there is a hazard down both sides of the fairway after the long carry. Hole 5 is short par 3 but you have to walk the length of the next hole (another par 3) to get to the tee box. After that, another long walk to the par 5 tee box. It really isn't a walker's course anymore.
Now that being said, the course is in excellent shape with fast and challenging greens, tee boxes are level and well maintained.
I know there are more changes to come in the next few years but I really hope these new designs are better.
