Westwood Plateau Golf Academy

This is a fun executive course. It does have 3-4 very short holes, with only one opportunity for driver (if you want to take it). It's a decently challenging layout with many hazards to navigate. There was no one else on the course so that was nice as we had a 9 and 13 year old with us. The only drawback was how wet the course was. It is a hard time to have dry courses, but large puddles in nearly every bunker and large portions of fairways where water would come up with every step. Greens were inconsistent from little water to full on rooster tails as the ball rolled. Definitely a good place to hit a ball, but not good for scoring this time of year.

For a 12-hole course I think this is one of the better ones. A small clubhouse, friendly staff and a decent enough practice facility. If I had to say anything bad it was the driving range. I would not go back to that - stick to the putting greens. I believe they had a chipping green as well but we didn't check that out.

Course layout was decent but a bit crammed. It was a challenging walk but lots of wildlife and great views from hole 9-12.

Fairways on the par 4's were average and I hit almost all shots from grass - no mud. The one bunker I found I had to remove a big stone but the sand felt nice.

The greens were nice and rolled pretty true.

One negative was the hole that has a few power lines running perpendicular to your tee shot. I managed to fly directly through the 4 and find the green, but if you hit one your ball is gone. You are hitting over a gorge from your 130yd tee shot. They could move the tees to the right and avoid the power lines but it's a lot of work I know so this won't happen!

Overall a nice round and good bang for your buck. If you go on a weekend expect a near 3 hr round.
