EXETER, Ontario (March 29, 2007) - You have to want to get to the Ironwood Golf Club. From London, Ontario, it\'s a good 40-minute drive through vast, neat farmlands and small towns - and away from numerous more conveniently located golf courses.
Once you get there, though, you\'ll be happy you came. Ironwood is a top-notch family-run operation, easy on the eyes and easy on the scorecard. Opened in the mid-\'60s, the course has been expanded, tweaked and fiddled with for four decades, and it\'s not finished yet. This work-in-progress is an interesting little (6,179 yards from the tips) course that, along with fun golf, offers the astonishing sight of white squirrels.
Exeter is so enamored of the little beasts that it holds a white-squirrel festival every year. This isn\'t the only place in North America to trumpet the presence of pale rodents; Oleny, Ill. has them, as do parts of North Carolina. Kenton, Tenn., is perhaps the most aggressive in marketing its white squirrels; the strange-looking creatures have right-of-way on city streets and residents are fined if they try to leave town with one.
Fortunately the squirrels aren\'t Exeter\'s only attraction. More and more people are coming to play Ironwood, which was considered out of the way in golf-heavy London until the daily London Free Press ranked it second among 20 area public courses in 2002.
