Featured Golf Course Review:

Lost Creek Golf Club -- *Great course for the price.*
Review by: John	I always try to play Lost Creek a couple of times a year. As it is south of State College their season is longer so it is a good early spring pick. Excelent course for the money and a good test of golf.

Glen Garden Golf & Country Club
"History"
Glen Garden is a great place for Golfers of all ages. Playing on the course, it is easy to see how it produced such greats as Hogan and Nelson. They have the classic postage stamp greens. You must be accurate with your approach shot or you will miss the green. It is a great course for beginners as there are relatively few holes where a bad shot will lose your ball. The pace of play is very relaxed and the course staff are over the top friendly. The only down side to Glen Garden is that when it was built it was out in the country (1912?). In the 1950's Fort Worth grew and houses went up all around the course. Unfortunately these houses we small wooden houses and over the years it has become the bad side of town. There have been huge efforts by the local population over the last ten years to clean things up but it will take time. I highly recommend a visit to Glen Garden for any golfer. If you have an interest in history you will find it fantastic to consider you are walking on holy grounds.

Pelican Sound Golf & River Club
"Pelican Sound, a fair challenge for all."
The three nines at Pelican Sound are quite similar in design (but isn't that true for most Florida golf courses) however they do offer some diverse challenges. The fairways are wide, but don't let that give you a false sense of security. They tend to fall off towards lakes, marshes and palmetto bushes rendering your ball lost or unplayable. The greens are large, slightly elevated and well contoured. Green speeds vary depending on grain direction but are always in excellent condition. Watch out for down hill down grain putts, they will get away from you very easily. The practice facilities are good, providing a aqua range (not my favorite, but tends to be the norm in Florida) a good chipping area with a large bunker and a large putting green. Overall Pelican Sound is a good, challenging and fair golf experience. If you can get a tee-time (high season) it is a good course to add to your rotation.

"Beautiful Course"
It is really hard to find a course this challenging and this beautiful in IL. I have played at this course many a times and find it challenging in new ways everytime. There is a wonderful chipping and driving range. The range and especially the course are very well maintained. The bag boys are especially friendly and are not like normal bag room employees ;they know what they are doing. I recommend this course to intermediate and advanced level players.
