John's Island Club - West Course

This is an equity membership club featuring three eighteen hole courses to choose from. The North Course has very few water hazards. The fairways are open, so you will always be able to find your ball. The South Course is not as long as the other two courses, but the fairways are narrow. Water hazards come into play on twelve holes. John Lee redesigned this course in 1984. The West Course is the newest, and also the longest course. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 15th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and 21st in 1997-98. "GOLFWEEK" chose this course 42nd among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" in 1997, 28th in 1998 and 24th in 1999. It was built on a sand ridge, so the sand bunkers are numerous. The fairways are generous, and the large greens are highlighted by the mounding which protects them. There are many changes in elevation throughout the course. Hole #1, a 409-yard, par 4, features a fifty-foot drop to the fairway. This course is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. All three of these courses run alongside the Intracoastal Waterway.

A delightful challenge, Sep 13, 2006

reviewer: CGS from Florida

What a gem the west course is. The course is very secluded. There is no residential development on the course. If you don't have a straight tee shot bring plenty of extra golf balls. The rough is very unforgiving. The course offers an awesome practice facility especially for chipping, sand and short game. A great deal of elevation for a Florida course. More elevation than any other course I have played in Florida. Be sure to play this course if you ever have the chance.

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.

"Director of CFM"
A delightful little 9 hole course with a challenge and terrific scenery. Pleasant staff and facilities, friendly atmosphere. Great pro teacher. And the prices are right. Crowded on weekends (of course) but midweek is fast play.

IRONS! Very challenging iron play.

"Nice course with many different challenges."
The front nine is a little on the mountainous side. There are plenty of water hazards and sand traps to hit around. This is a challenging course that you can have a lot of fun with.
