18-Hole BLACK Course

18 hole Black Course
Tees	Holes	Par	Yardage	USGA Rating	Slope
Blue	18	71	6457	71.5	123
White	18	71	6254	70.4	121
Red	18	73	5234	69.8	117

Built: 1930’s
Architect: Sam White
Description: A classic layout built on flat to moderately hilly terrain. Offering wide tree-lined fairways, quite a few doglegs, small greens (some elevated), with a good number of greenside bunkers and some of the more difficult par 4’s in the area. A nice test of skill for the intermediate and low-handicap golfer.

Signature Hole: #17. A 195 yard, par 3. A long, picturesque par 3, that plays over water to a well protected green...water on the left and a bunker on the right.

Comments: nice layout, good variety of holes...of the two courses here, this is our favorite. Conditioning is fair at best, more work needs to be done.

Red	18	72	5330	68.7	117

Built: 1930’s
Architect: Sam White

Description: This is the easier of the two courses at this facility. There is nothing unusual about it and except for four hilly holes the rest of this course is relatively flat and wide open.

Comments: A good course for beginners and seniors. Like the Black, this one also needs better conditioning.
