Poor mans Medinah is how a friend described this course, and he is basically correct. It is well taken care of and an absolute brute from the tips if you don't hit it straight. OB will kill you if the trees don't get you first. (there are many) The first hole is a short par 4 and the driver is best left in the bag. Hit something about 150 or so and you have any easy shot in. The second is a short par 3 over a pond to a small, well sloped green. The holes get more interesting from there. The two remaining par 3's (on the front 9) are 200+ yards, very challenging. The front also has back to back par 5's, the seccond of which is tough. The back is equally difficult finishing with a pond fronting the 17th green and an 18th fairway which slopes severly from left to right. If you're long, you can try to fly the trees on 18 and cut the corner, but it is definately risky. Nice course. |
