Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
Hamilton Bulldogs President and Governor Glenn Stanford announced today the hockey club has formed a partnership with Piper's Heath Golf Club. Piper's Heath will serve as the "Official Golf Club of the Hamilton Bulldogs" and will play host to the Molson Canadian Hamilton Bulldogs Charity Golf Classic through 2012.
Located at 5501 Trafalgar Rd. in Milton, Piper's Heath Golf Club was designed by renowned golf course architect Graham Cooke and opened in the summer of 2007. The 5,200 to 7,054-yard, par-72 layout both looks and plays as if it were nestled into the sweeping, rugged Scottish Highlands. Four-hundred-year-old ancient Oaks, which Cooke calls "Friendly Giants," greet golfers along the way. His deep respect for the environment and its ecosystems is reflected in preserved wetlands and meadows that accent the landscape.
Cooke has captured the site's natural beauty blending those features into a challenging layout that is distinctive and captivating from start to finish. "It's my hope that Piper's Heath will challenge golfers of all abilities and at the end of the day everyone will walk away with a memorable golf experience and a desire to return," he says.
Piper's Heath also features a 20-acre double-ended practice academy with a large two-tiered tee deck for every-day use and a smaller teeing area some 350 yards away at the other end for lessons and larger clinics. Cooke incorporated a series of target greens and traps into the design to allow golfers to focus on their shots. There's also a chipping green with a sand bunker and a separate practice putting area.
"This is a course to be played with imagination and enjoyed for its challenge and beauty," Cooke says. "It's designed to be a golf course of anticipation with changing looks and scenes around every corner."
