Description
The first 9 holes are a variety of uphill and downhill, mostly shorter (longest is 419 feet or somewhere close). Holes 10 and 11 are open and play over a large pond. The remainder of the back nine is mostly flat & heavily wooded with a creek coming into play on two holes. The first tee is by lot 4 on the side nearest the entrance to the complex, look for the statue of Bigfoot. The course loops back to the lot after hole 9.
