This course received instant credibility when it was awarded the 2000 U.S. Women's Open. The very scenic design features a lot of prairie grass and wildflowers. The terrain is rolling, the fairways are wide open, and the large greens are fast. Water hazards or sand bunkers have been incorporated throughout the entire course design. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 17th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 18th best for 1997-98. "GOLFWEEK" ranked it 77th among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" for 1997, and 59th for 1998 and 92nd for 1999. "GOLF Magazine" selected it 98th among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1997.

"Best Bargin Around"
Excellent course for the average golfer to play. The condition is average, but for the price and playability you just can't beat it.

Hidden Oaks Golf Course
"Hidden Oaks used to be in bad shape."
Hidden Oaks Golf Course was run down into bad shape for a few years. The course was never kept up in good shape. But now there are new owners that have brought the beauty back into Hidden Oaks Golf Course, within two years. Hidden Oaks it still young, but I do beleive it has changed dramatically.

Los Alamos Golf Course
"Great challenge for your game"
This course is a challenging course for the average player up to the scratch professionals. The fairways are tight and lined with sparse pine trees. The course is an old style course, which means it has incredibly small greens. The greens are probably to most true rolling greens in the state of New Mexico due to being so old. The course is short and very opportune for low scores. I really enjoyed playing this course and the people around the club. They treat you well and the rates are EXTREMELY cheap for such a quality course. I suggest taking the trip up to Los Alamos to have a great round of golf and also to enjoy the sights of the Jemez Mountains.

Lakeland Hills Golf Course
"Getting better every day"
Lakeland is a great course for the money. New owners took over is 2002 or so. Hard to remember because we don't play it regularly. They have added new features every year, trees, bridges, new tee boxes, etc.The front nine is fairly open, hard to get into too much trouble. Watch out for some water. We prefer the back nine. It's a little more hilly, still has some water. Nothing to worry about. Lakeland has the best drainage of any course we have ever seen. It is open unless there is snow on the ground. We have played this course in Feb., when a winter thaw and 50 degree days suprized us all. Just played in on Jan 3, 2004 when we has another winter warm spell. Jackson has lots and lots of great courses. No one would ever be disappointed taking a golfing holiday in Jackson, Michigan.
