Pine Ridge Golf Club -- *Hilly and Woodsy*
Review by: Perry Thorvig	This ten year old course has some very beautiful holes. Unfortunately, the course if virtually unwalkable except by the most hearty golfer. It requires a cart. Some of the holes are very difficult. Number 8 requires your tee shot to be in a very small diameter circle in order to have a chance of hitting the green on your next shot. Number 2 requires a perfect first and second shot to just reach the green. The fairways are very tight and a lot of balls can be lost. There are some very rewarding holes too. Par 4 number 14 can be reached by the big hitter. The dogleg on number 13 can also be cut by the golfer who can hit a high tee shot.

Meadow Lakes Golf Club -- *Shake Dice to Determine Green Fees!*
Review by: J.A. DeSimone	This course is a joke. From the unmowed fairways to the sparse details defining the course this place was a nightmare. Just try figuring out where the teebox is on the the next hole. Starter told our group of three to keep carts 30 yards away from greens when their own printed information says 30 feet. They mow the place during the day running over players balls. Granted I am not 80 shooter and do expect to lose at times 2-3 balls per round but I ended up losing 10 during our 18 holes here with over half of those being in the fairways and short rough. Glad I was visiting from Florida and made me feel alot better about the worse course I play here. Only thing missing was a herd of cows grazing during play. Would not recommend to anyone!
