If there was a template of how to build a golf course, Innerkip Highlands would be it. Over the years, the owners have continually made changes and improvements to the golf course that only enhance the enjoyment of the game.
Always a local favourite, it seems the secret is out and Innerkip is no longer the hidden gem it once was. Weekday tee times are becoming scarce, never mind weekends yet the pace of play is fantastic, under 4.5 hours, almost always.
The most recent and most dramatic changes to the couse have come this past off season. There is a new routing, a huge new pond that comes into play on three holes and a waterfall. The first change golfers will notice is the lengthening of the Par 3 second. It used to be 100 yards or so, but they have moved the green back some 30-40 yards making it a little more difficult than the pushover it was.
The most dramatic change is the large pond that has been created with a stunning waterfall. The pond comes into play on holes thirteen (17), sixteen (13) and seventeen (14) - the number in brackets was the old back nine layout.
Considering these changes, including a pond, three new greens and two new fairways, were done since last October, the course is in fantastic shape. If you liked Innerkip before, you owe it to yourself to go back and fall in love all over again.
