Whitefish Lake Golf Club - North Course

This club has two regulation eighteen hole courses. The North Course, a traditional design, has large pine trees lining its fairways. The fairways are semi-hilly, so expect some uneven lies, and the well-bunkered greens are large. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 2nd "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. They also rated it as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 2nd best for 1997-98. Gregor MacMillan redesigned the original holes while adding the back nine to the North Course in 1960. The South Course, with its back nine designed by John Steidel, became an eighteen hole course in 1994. This scenic course offers holes built around a lake and views of the mountain ski resort. The several changes in elevation occurring throughout this course's design will create a number of interesting lies. The large greens are undulating, and ponds come into play at least four times.

Scenic beauty...Awesome golf, Aug 03, 2004

reviewer: Happy Camper from Illinois

The courses are both very scenic. The North course is a traditional tree lined layout with challenging elevation changes while the South course is newer with a Pete Die quality to it. great time to be had in the Rockies.

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.

Fox Creek Golf Club
"A Best Buy in StLouis Metropolitan Area"
I will start by saying that while I am only 24 years old, I have been an avid golfer since age 7. I haven't played a huge number of courses in my lifetime, but I know a good course when I play one, and I know a bad course as well. I personally feel that this course plays better than the more well known Sunset Hills CC also in Edwardsville, while not requiring membership/friendship to play. I've played the Bay Point Lagoon Legend in Panama City (known to be one of the 5 toughest courses in the US), and I truly don't think it has much on Fox Creek difficulty wise. The trees alone on Fox Creek truly play havok with any shots that aren't riding the middle of the fairways. Several greens have large trees that block approach shots that aren't setup off the tee correctly. A smart player will leave his driver in the bad on most tees (unless you are confident in your big stick), however, due to the course's length, approach shots end up being taken with mid-to-long irons more than one would like. Couple this with water or OB on nearly every hole and multi-tiered undulating greens and you are looking at one tough course. The best part about this course is the low price. You can play for dirt cheap in my opinion for as fine a course as this one. The only knock in my book is that the course does not wear well through the year, either due to climate or an average greens-crew. So if you want to play a great course for a bottom dollar price, come early in the year (April-May). I promise you won't be disappointed.

Valencia Country Club
"Valencia CC -- one of the finest in the U.S."
Valencia CC is a gorgeous layout and wonderful design that only gets better with maturity. This Robert Trent Jones course is a truly great test of golf. Demanding par fives and threes along with several of the finest par fours I've ever played make for a challenging and wonderful round. The 66,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with wonderful restaurant, grill room, snack bar, and great pro shop make this one of the most beautiful settings there is to play a round of golf. The practice facilities are absolutely great. This is one of the top 100 golf courses in the United States.

Sammons Park Golf Course
"very average"
The course is usually in bad shape. It is also relatively overpriced for the shape it is in.
