| Wolves Crossing Golf Course -- Great Golf Course |
| Review by: L R Eberlin |
I play the course regularly and the staff is excellent. The course is always in good shape. The cost is very reasonable. Not a difficult course, but you will use all your clubs. The wind usually blows and makes a couple of holes harder than usual. Don't let the yardage fool you. |

| Old Orchard Country Club -- Leave the Driver in the Bag |
| Review by: RT |
Leave the driver in the bag is the best way to approach many of the holes on this short but difficult course. As you can see by the yardage it is not long, but take one look at the slope rating and you will see that you are in for a test (from the tips). Putting the ball in play off the tee will save you many strokes versus knocking it in the many, many trees which line the fairways. Number 1 is a perfect example, put the big dog away, and hit it down the middle with your 3 wood. No sense starting off with a big number. Number 3 is a test of your mid-irons. It goes over ponds to a narrow green. Long is definately not good as you will go over a mound (hill) guarding the back of the green. Your chip back will not be fun (Mickelson would have a challenge with that one). There are many good holes, but I believe the signature hole is the par 3 17th. They are in the process of re-doing the hole, but it is still great. From the tips you have to thread your tee shot through trees to a green guarded on three sides by water. Sound easy? Oh, did I mention that this par 3 is 230 yards long? Tough hole. The course is a little pricey, but check, they usually have early morning deals during the week and it's a bargin. |
