Practice Facilities
NORTHERN DUNES PRACTICE FACILITIES
At
Northern Dunes, we offer a variety of ways to get you practiced up before you
even take your first step on the tee! If it is sand shots, chip shots, putting
strokes or making contact with the ball off the tee, we have every resource
available to get you warmed up before your game!
GREENS SPEED & CONTROL
Be sure to
take advantage of the practice green to get a feel for the speed of the greens
as weather can dictate the performance on the greens (wet = slow, dry = fast).
One thing we take pride in here at Northern Dunes is that our greens all run
relatively consistent, so once you have mastered the speed on one of the
greens, you will have a great feel for all of them giving you a definite
advantage over your playing partners
BUNKER SHOTS
You can also
practice some bunker shots from two of our groomed bunkers located at the
practice green. Much like the greens, our bunkers are all relatively consistent
with the beautiful natural sand of our area and playing from them seems to be
more fun and entertaining than troublesome! (Ok, maybe not so fun and
entertaining)
CHIPPING
A wide area
around the practice green is available to practice those pesky little chip
shots that seem to make and break a lot of games. Chipping is more accuracy
than distance & positioning your ball in the right location will allow you
to finish up with a small putt, a long miserable putt, or if you're lucky, no
putt at all!
STRETCHING
You will find
that you will enjoy the game more when you take a few minutes before your game
to warm up. Stretching is also a very good exercise to perform before starting
your round to not only avoid injury but also to relieve some stress before your
round.
So remember, Stretch, get a
feel for the speed of the greens, master the art of 'blasting' out of the sand,
develop your accuracy on your chip shots and on your drives! I ensure you that
in doing so you will be off to a great game!
