#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.
