| Edgebrook Country Club -- Edgebrook rewards accuracy |
| Review by: Terry Hunt |
Length is not the key to scoring well here. Fairways are reasonably generous, but they are nearly all lined with mature trees...so if you stray at all you will likely have to invent some sort of recovery shot. The shorter par 4's require a very accurate tee shot in order to have a good approach shot. The par 5's are not that long, (the first one can be reached in two for the long hitters) but the number 11 hole is a very tricky par five with trees everywhere, a lateral hazard that runs the length of the hole on the right, and a creek that cuts in front of the green preventing any runners from getting home. The greens are smooth, and putt true. Some of them have a severe back to front slope, so hitting beyond the pin is an invitation for a three putt. All in all a very nice little course offering a challenge to golfers of any skill level. |

This is a nice little course that gets a ton of play. Although not an "executive" course in the true sense (it has two par 4's) most of the holes are short. The first, however, is intimidating on any course. It is a short par 4 almost entirely over water (from the tips) and the wind is usually blowing into the golfer. Take a long iron and play for the fairway in front of the green. The second is a beautiful par 3 about 150 again over water. Take a look at the driving range and you will see a very unusual sight. You hit balls into the water!! The balls float and a guy retrieves them from shore with a fishing net. (and no, I have not been drinking) This place is a mecca for young golfers and offers probably one of the largest youngsters teaching programs around. |
