| Hidden Meadows Golf Club - North Course -- Challenging, Short Course |
| Review by: Dan |
If you are looking to practice your short game then this a decent course for it. Overall the course is pretty short. You will only need you woods on three holes, if you dare. The holes are line with trees and bushes and require very accurate shots. Most people will lose more balls than they find, but if you have time and walk along the trees and bushes you can find a number of balls. I like to go to this course when I only have a couple of hours and a couple of bucks. It is very cheap, $10, for 9 holes, it has a driving range and short game practice area, and because it requires accurate shots not as many people play it. Most people opt for the South course. I am giving it three stars because it is challenging enough so that if you get sloppy you will pay the price by losing your ball, and it is also a great deal if you only want to play 9. |

| Antioch Golf Club -- Old Jim Diamonds |
| Review by: RT |
This course was the site of the old Jim Diamonds steakhouse and is now owned by the village of Antioch. I have played this course for many years and unfortunately like so many, condos and single family homes line many of the fairways of the course. Straightness off the tee comes into play on many of the holes. Hole number 2 is narrow and has OB to the left off the tee shot. Right is no good either as your ball will find the trees. Number 6 (just follow the signs to find the hole, it looks like you're going in someone's yard) is a short little par 3 over a pond that looks intimidating but has a very large green. Number 9, a long par 3 from the tips has a two tiered green. Make sure you put it on the correct level. The back nine is the better of the two with a really challenging par 5 and a par 4 (15th or 16th can't remember)in which you must hit a shot over water that may have boats passing through. If you hear the bell, wait, a boat is passing. All in all, not a bad course. |
