This course's front nine is flat, and loaded with trees. A creek meanders through the course, which comes into play on five holes. The back nine was built back in the hills. Hole #16, a 192-yard, par 3, features an elevated tee with a 180-foot drop to the green. Additional water hazards (three ponds) come into play on three of the back nine holes. In addition, numerous sand bunkers were placed throughout the course. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 2nd "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and #1 in 1997-98.

A great course near the Yellowstone River, May 06, 2004

reviewer: SKM from Billings, MT

It is the most beautiful and challenging course in Billings. It had some problems with irrigation in the past, but the club invested capital into improving the irrigation system to create more consistency throughout the course. The staff are all immensely friendly, without pretention, and are all willing to go the extra mile.

risk reward, Apr 20, 2004

reviewer: Kelly Frank from Bozeman, MT

The Briarwood is the kind of golf course that will reward you for well hit and well placed shots and will punish you for shots that are not well placed. The Briarwood challenges both the mental and physical sides of your golf game. You can walk the front, but must be in good physical condition to walk the back nine. There are a lot of hills on the back nine, get a cart and enjoy the round.

River Park Golf Course
"Under estimated"
River Park Golf Course is an amazing asset to the small town of Mackay ID. Many people including myself under estimated this golf course. When I arrived at the course I felt like I was too good of a golfer for a course like River Park but I was completely caught off guard. The narrow fairways, small quick greens and water hazards made it impossible for me to come close to paring the course the first few times. If you want a golfing challenge visit this wonderful course, where you will also be treated with genuine hospitality.

Cardinal Creek Golf Club
"Cardinal Creek-Scott AFB, IL"
A course perhaps more friendly for the long-ball hitter with more than enough water and some deviously placed sand. Access to the course requires a military affiliation or a friend who can host your play but, well worth the trip. Given its location (on base), play is seldom hampered by a crowded course which also makes it a most hospitable course for the slower player, the short ball hitter or those just learning the game. The placement of water (ponds and streams) makes for an interesting attack plan and invites disaster for the reckless. Improved traps, general landscaping and more attention to tee boxes and greens over the past two seasons has made the course much more enjoyable. The first six holes are a low rolling layout with a lot of trees in play along the fairways. The rest of the course is basically flat with several holes playing parallel to the runway and an occasional aircraft take-off or landing adding to the view. Course amenities are well maintained. Walk, pull a cart or ride in a relatively new electric cart. The golf carts are in great shape and an adjacent driving range is a plus for tuning up before hitting off of the first tee. The clubhouse has a small grill for lunch with a comfortable seating area for a beer after the game. The pro shop is equipped to handle most needs.
