Golf writer and author Lorne Rubenstein's eloquent description captures the essence
of The Club at Sagebrush: "Sagebrush reaches into, explores, and touches golf's
soul. To play the course is to experience the generosity of spirit that one finds at the
Old Course, Royal Melbourne, and Muirfield. Sagebrush embodies traditional values
that golf at its best and most exhilarating represents. The open expanse allows
the golfer to experience freedom, while inviting a wide variety of shots to answer
Sagebrush's questions. To play Sagebrush is to uncover one's golfing mind, in a
setting that encourages discovery from the first to the final shot."
With its massive firm and fast fairways, rough-edged blowout-style bunkers, and
enourmous undulating putting surfaces, Sagebrush creates a singular feeling
of being in touch with the game and its history. On every hole, in every playing
condition, players are limited only by their own imagination.
The stark natural beauty and the traditional elements of this modern minimalist design
are on full panoramic display from the 17th hole's four tee boxes. The natural rolls
of the fairway, the fescue and sage-edged bunkers, and the 18th hole and beautiful
Nicola Lake in the background combine to provide one of the most captivating looks
in golf. The beautiful combination of finishing holes is aptly known as "Coming Home,"
a feeling golfers from around the world experience when they play Sagebrush,
which has been named best new course in Canada by Golf Digest and SCOREGolf
magazines and has been recognized as the eighth-best modern course in Canada
by Golfweek magazine.
