161 LyNx RIDGE Golf Club PAR 4 420 yARDS Calgary, AB 403.547.5969 www.lynxridge.com Designed by golf and landscape architect Bill Newis—whose designs have been ranked in the top 50 courses in Canada—Lynx Ridge Golf Club serves up a broad spectrum of experiences on every round, just as the course has since its founding in 2000. Dramatic contours, strategically placed hazards, and a great variety of challenging holes are certain to deliver the joy of the game while challenging players of all abilities, which is one reason the club has developed such an impressive reputation. Perched high above the banks of the beautiful Bow River—which affords golfers unbelievable views—the third hole at Lynx Ridge stands out as possibly the toughest on the course. It certainly has been known to break a few hearts when all is said and done. At 420 yards, the hole requires a straight mid-length tee shot to reach the fairway and set up for the approach into the multitier green. Drives that sail left or right will be out of bounds or encounter hazards, requiring much skill and adding to the score to get back on target. Those that stray long will drop down into the gaping canyon that separates the fairway and the green; certainly something to avoid. Once on the green, dramatic swales and contours make distance control critical and one-putts a challenge. On the green in two makes par a very attainable score. Miss the green, and even bogey becomes a challenge. You'll want to give your best on every shot on hole 3. 3 Photographs by Sarah Wirachowsky
