Featured Golf Course Review:

Mid-Channel Golf Course -- *Great full size starter course!*
Review by: Jim Thomas	I have played here many times but I especially appreciated this course for a few reasons. First, There are no difficult lies, since it is located on an Harsens Island (South of Algonac- $6 dollar ferry fee), the landscape is rather flat which brings me to my second reason for rating it higher than normal. I have 3 teenage boys who are just starting to play. We already had played many executive courses but need somewhere for them to get the feel for a full size course. This is it! The rough is unforgiving, but only 1/2 of the holes are bordered by woods, so if you have a bad slice either compensate or bring many shag balls. However the other fairways are very expansive and open. There are a good number of challenging shots which also makes the lack of terrain OK. Some of the greens are nestled within the woods, where there is only one alley in and one alley out, very interesting. My last reason is that the course generally has a moderate amount of traffic which is also very helpful when you have juniors that need to develop ' ready to play golf ' skills. I have yet to find someone pushing at our back, wondering when you are going to get one in the head, and since it is a full size course with challenges, I have never been on the heels of anyone. If there is any critique, I would say that the bunkers are not in the best shape, but we use rule 28 for that. Afterwards there is a quaint supper club that is casual and affordable.

Bucks Run Golf Club -- *PLAYED OVER 30 TIMES*
Review by: Greg Roberts	The course is well maintained and with the new drainage system added in 2003 it was kept in even better shape. The par 3's look easier than they are, and sometimes tempt the golfer to go a little to hard at the pin, which most are well protected with either water or bunkers. The par 5's are all reachable in two, but trees make two difficult or stupid. The course is a great expierence that everyone who comes to Mt. Pleasant should take advantage of. The biggest complaint about the course is the food and restuarant, they try to make it two high-end for a golf course.

Cedar Creek Golf Club
"A course of challenge and beauty"
If you are looking for a track that will provide you the challenges of all the natural elements of the game of golf, Cedar Creek will do that. With it's bunkers, woods, length, rolling greens, water hazzards and blind shots. I have played this course at least a dozen times and I cannot a remember a time where I felt like I was being pushed by a group behind me or that I had to push a group ahead of me. It is easy to get frustrated with the challenge of the course, but you can maintain a good rhythem because of the pace of play. This track is also affordable. I have played many of the courses in Aiken County including the private courses and I haven't found any difference in the quality of this course compared to the private clubs. The staff are also very friendly.

Redland Country Club
"Open and Forgiving - A Fun Course"
Redland is an open and forgiving course with a friendly atmosphere. The course offers 5639-yard forward tees, 6266-yard middle tees and 6613-yard blue tees. Fairways are flat with some gentle sloping. Minor water challenges and some fairway sand. Greens are bunkered and reasonably true (there is some difficulty with grass on the greens but, all in all, not too bad). Members describe this course as a Club in the Country and the ammenities will bring you back time after time. It's a fun place with a challenging golf potential. You'll like it!

Pleasant Hills Golf Course - The Pleasant Hills Course
"Ok for begginers"
The Cypress is a great course for biginners and those wanting to just brush up on a course. Being all par three, you do not need more than a 7 iron. It is very inexpensive but then again, you get what you pay for. The holes will sometimes befilled with water and the greeens full of mud. But it can be good relaxing fun.
