#82 Lake of Isles (North)
This Troon-managed Rees Jones design is the public course at Foxwoods (the South course is private). It seems like there are lots of lakes, but from the name it must be a lot of islands in a big lake. The cart path crosses water over lots of wooden bridges, and goes past a lone tombstone in the woods The rough is lush and high, and caused a few very high scores. The fairways are wide enough, but lined by dense woods. I had occasion to search for a ball once, and came out with both pockets and both hands full after only seconds of searching, and leaving a lot more behind. I've never seen so many golf balls except in a golf shop or on the range. There are tee shots with forced carries, even when not over water and the greens are elevated and well-bunkered. A difficult test, with severe penalties for bad shots. Worth playing again, though. More pictures .
