Featured Golf Course Review:
| Springview Country Club -- Extremely challenging and versatile |
| Review by: Van Hudson |
One of my top 5 courses to play. The greens and fairways are well kept. Front 9 offers smaller targets for greens while the back 9 offers lots of hilly lies and challeging approaches. You'll really need to drive hole #10 and #16 if you want to make your approach in regulation. Front 9 is walkable, but I stongly suggest a drive cart for the back 9. Lots of hills and dips make for challenging ball placement. This course is hardly ever crowded, and its set amongst the pines and oaks of a beautifull layout. A friendly staff awaits you at the club house. If your looking to play a nice, relaxing round of golf, this is a sure bet. |

| Oak Harbor Golf Club -- So much potential, so little time |
| Review by: Bill Powdier |
When you first step onto this course it becomes apparent that it is owned by a large corporation trying to "milk" it for every penny they can. A pretty good design and a fair value but it is also very poorly maintained. Any course manager who does not allow their course to close one day a week should be tarred and feathered. This is magnified by the fact that the course is open year round.
Clubhouse is fair, range and practice facility are good but any luxuries stop there. It is a links type course and the best they offer is a port-a-john on the front nine and nothing on the back. The staff is unresponsive to the needs of the members and are there to appease the corporate outing more than anything.
You are much better off traveling to Mississippi's Gulf Coast and enjoying much better layouts and superior hospitality. It is only thirty minutes away and you can play courses designed by Nicklaus, Palmer, Davis Love III, and Gil Morgan. |
