Tight, technical and heavily wooded course favours accuracy and shot-shaping over maximum distance throws. Beautiful scenery and well marked tees and trails make for a very easy to navigate and beautiful hike through the forested foothills of Hinton. The course culminates in a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains of Jasper National Park.
