Oakbrook Golf Course -- *Nice*
Review by: Shooter	The course isn't the most challenging or the most scenic course I have ever played on, but its definately a decent course for the average player who wants to enjoy a day of golf in a beautiful surrounding. There are 2 3-pars over water. This is an 18 hole course with a pro shop and small eating facility.

Carolina Golf & Country Club
"Classic Donald Ross"
This course is short in yardage (6200), but plays much longer. One reason is that there are only 2 par 5's on a par 70 track. The par 3's are classic Ross. 3 of the 4 can play over 190 yards to postage stamp greens. There are a lot of down and up style par 4's, but there is also variety. Holes 10,11 and 18 are good examples of tough, well thought out par 4's that demand accuracy and thought. A four is an excellent score on all of these holes. The course is generally in excellent condition and has undergone some minor renovations. You will notice that the greens are exceptionally small, even for a Ross course. Greens are properly protected with bunkers and have just the right amount of undulation. One designer has stated that these are the smallest greens he has ever seen on a Ross course (which may be its claim of distinction among the many Ross courses). There is a premium on iron play and short game. Greens are quick, but not penal. Everyone thinks they can bring this course to its knees, but it usually is the other way around. The course can frustrate you if you expect too much too easily. This is what makes it such a wonderful place to experience the brilliance of Donald Ross. It is private course, so find a member and enjoy...

"Tight but fair"
This is an excellent test, particularly around the greens. Greens are VERY fast but true. While you may not need driver on more than 5 holes, you neeed your short game on EVERY hole.

Bretton Woods Golf Course
"Bretton Woods"
I played the course in mid-March as the guest of an IMF employee (the only way to get on). The course was in excellent condition and the greens in particular are superb. It is a fairly flat layout with a handful of elevated greens and tee boxes. The fairways are pretty wide and even if you miss by a bit it's hard to get into much trouble. The challenge is around the greens -- many have narrow openings and if you miss either side you are left with a ticklish pitch, often over sand, to fast greens that slope away. Signature hole is the 9th, a par 3 that requires a good carry over water. When I played (a Sunday afternoon)the course was quiet and we were able to walk, carry our clubs and move right along. A real treat.
