  • What's the course like?

    Answer: Winding its way through a Boreal Forest, the course is truly unique. Most players describe it as "challenging" since the forest bordering many of the top fairways ensures that you'll need to place your shots carefully to avoid losing balls on the first few holes. At the same time, if you are able to place your balls properly, the course is very rewarding since the scenery is spectacular, and the topography is varied enough to keep things interesting. Once you get down to the lower holes (#3 drops you about 100 feet from the tee to the green and is one of the most fun holes of the entire course for me), the course opens up more with wider grassy fairways and lots of water including several streams and ponds. This is not an "ego" course like you might find in Kansas. You'll be challenged in a way that most golfers enjoy.
