Featured Golf Course Review:

Edgewood Golf Course -- *Hometown course*
Review by: David Cline	Edgewood is a good course. The first hole is wide open and lets you swing away. #2 is a scenic hole. Revamped the course a few years ago to make it longer. Miss old hole #6 and it dog leg right. Club house offers adequate food and drink for the turn.

Highland Woods Golf Course -- *Nice but sloooow*
Review by: RT from NW IL	Nice course since Billy Casper Golf has taken over the management of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the staff really cares whether you enjoy yourself or not. The man behind the counter was not friendly followed only by the starter whose mumbling was unintelligible because of a pipe in his mouth. The course, however was in nice shape with fast greens. Do not expect to have a short round if you tee off after 8:00am or on the weekends. 5 hour rounds are the norm, with some (weekends) going over 5 1/2!!

Hillcrest Golf Club
"Shape your game"
I grew up the area playing this course weekly for many years.I shaped my game at this little gem. Sixteen years later I play golf in Austin and work with a team of middle school golfers. As for Hilcrest...The first 3 holes are par 3s.(W/9,5/6, W/SW) They added some water to number one and moved the tee years ago. It puts a whole new spin on number one. People are less likely to hit the cars in the parking lot and/or Mr. Wilson's house too. Huge pines could save your ball from a feild(now the driving range) on the left if you are hooker.People teeing off on number eight and on 7's green also come in to play for some bad slicers. Three had a huge Oak that came into play for high wedges coming in from the left side. Water fountain at 4 was nice In July and august. Number 4 is a ~310yard par 4. Little ditch running accross about 270? made many people lay-up. Eagleable on many days. Another par 3 follows a treeline for Hole 5 and then my favorite par 4 is next. Over a wide lake...that eats up every bad slice for righties. Another eagleable ~300yarder. The lake has nice size bass in it too. Seven is the only par 5, a dogleg to the right. Eight is a par 4 with a huge ditch eating drives by the minute. And we end with a par 4, left dogleg that is reachable with a crush over the corner. Lights added make night golf fun! Drving range is huge so you have plenty of swing room.

"Challenge"
The fairways here are nice, the greens protect the course and make it extraordinarily challenging. It doesn't play long but you have to be a good iron player to shoot anywhere in the 70's.

Greystone Golf Club
"Scenic and challenging"
This is a beautiful and well designed course. The course can prove to be challenging for both the beginner and scratch golfer alike. The high grass that seperates some of the holes can be frustrating, so you would be well advised to keep to the left on such holes. During the fall the greens are usually riddled with leaves and twigs so spring and summer would be your best bet. The developer did an excellent job incorporating the natural surroundings into the course. With a tee off the top of a ridge on hole one, to the natural rocks that appear throughout the course, Greystone Golf Club in Dickson is sure to give you the feeling of connecting with nature as you connect with your ball.
