This links-style course is located on an island that is only two miles wide and eight miles long, plus it doesn't have many trees that can alter your shots. The Long Island Sound comes into play on nine holes, and seven fresh-water ponds come into play on the rest of the holes. The course was built on rolling terrain, but there are many level lies in the center of the fairways. The signature hole is #5, a par 3, requiring a tee shot to a heavily- bunkered green. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 10th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 11th best for 1997-98. In addition, "GOLF Magazine" awarded it 36th in the category of the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1995, and 26th in 1997 and 23rd in 1999. "GOLFWEEK" ranked it 14th among "America's 100 Best Classical Courses" for 1997, 11th for 1998 and 13th for 1999.

Pines Municipal Golf Course, The
"Tough for it's size"
I'm origianally from Toccoa and have played this golf course many many times. While only a 9 hole course, it is worth the money to play it. It is far less expensive than most golf corses and offers real challenges for even experienced golfers. The terrain is extremely hilly and almost every hole has an extreme change in elavation. The green's are extremely small and very very fast. During the summer the fairways and greens are fairly well manicured although winter play tends to be a little harder on some holes due to a harder fairways from less moisture. Fairways are extemely tight with hundreds of opportunities to lose balls in pine forests and a courseside lake on the last two holes. Overall, not an allstar course but for a quick, challenging, and inexpensive round well worth the time.

Rancho Solano Golf Course
"Rancho review"
A medium difficult course with variable slopes,and hill sides with a different lie angle on nearly every shot. Large undulating greens with good speed. The greens are near perfect right now but that doesn't mean they're a push over. Making it one the green is only the start. A challenge.

"Hidden jewel"
This course is in the middle of the upper peninsula of Michigan. It is simply the best course I ever played for the money. Quick and true greens were very well maintained (How did they attract such a talented Superintendent). Very challenging holes that do not duplicate themselves. Laid back atmosphere--no pressures!

Wilshire Golf Club
"Good Challenge; Poor Conditions."
Wilshire is a challenge in disguise. With many decisions shots like weather to carry the creek on the first hole or whether or not to cut the corner off of the 17th. But the adverse course condidions can discourage most golfers that are looking for a challenge. Shabby fairways and greens give it a rough appearance but it is a good deal for the price.
