COURSES 1 & 3
Testing, but not overpowering, best describes these golf courses. The layout routes through gently rolling, wooden terrain and offers a nice blend of lengths and difficulty, requiring a range of shot-making ability. The courses feature enough sand, woods, and water to test the accomplished player without punishing the beginner.
COURSE 2 - RAVINES
The sporty, championship layout is routed through wooded, rolling terrain and challenges golfers with ravines on nearly half of the holes. The challenging par-3 offers a testy putting surface and a memorable end to the day's golf match.
COURSE 4 - DUBSDREAD
The nickname "DUBSDREAD" is derived from the idea that a "dub" or poor golfer should beware and served as a warning of the challenges forthcoming. True to its name, this natural-style championship course places a high demand on shot-making ability by providing tight landing areas combined with heavily bunkered, large undulating greens.
