This course was designed to preserve a natural look in the traditional style The course is easily walkable and walking is encouraged The fairways on the first two holes are open however as the golfer progresses through the course the fairways become more scenic Trees line holes 7 through 9 Holes 10 and 11 play around a lake The remainder of the holes return to a wooded environment The quick greens are impeccably maintained year round They too add to the traditional look with a crowned design There are no bunkers fronting the green which allow for a bump and run approach strategy to the green The layout affords a variety of holes for all golfers Low handicappers especially find this course to be a challenge By no means is this a straight up and down course GOLFWEEK selected it 39th among America s 100 Best Modern Courses for 1999
