Thousand Pines' upper course is a 9 basket/18 hole course that plays a 9 out/9 back format from distinctly different teepads. It is heavily wooded with tight fairways. A few unfairways, a few awkward teepads. Suits its purpose well as a private course, and is an appropriate complement to the easier lower course. Call before playing and always check in with the office. Course generally unavailable, but may be open on weekends. (888) 423-2267
