| Review by: Mark Paullin | The first hole is a blind downhill dogleg left. After you are told your tee shot is fine, you reach your ball and see the shallow green protected by three bunkers. The holes continue with a creek along #2, a creek in front of and along #3. 4 is a rolling par 5, which is followed by an elevated-tee par 4, with a dog leg left on 5. # 6 is a double dog par 5, green surrounded by bunkers, again. Shelter and the clubhouse are visible on short par 3 # 7, but you must drive 200 yards of water on #8. That green looks like three dead elephants are buried there. 9 is just a 195 yard (or so) par three in full view of the deck/clubhouse. Ten is another blind dog leg right down a hill. 11 has a pond along the right side and another undulating green. 12 is a blind par 5, with two creek crossings and another shallow green. 13 is a short par 3, 14 is a short par 4, with a pond and creeks along both sides! 15 is merely a 215-yard par 3! 16 has another creek, 17 has the creek cross twice again, and 18 is just long! You will think you are on a tournament grade course and will have a great, challenging round. If you are a Club COrp of America member, get by to play this course. If you are in Richmond, join or get guest pass. The pro and staff are great, as well! | |
