Recent Awards or What You Are Most Proud About The Course?
What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole? Hole 18, is a reachable par 5 over water. The best way to get birdie is the play down the right side and attach the pin with a wedge on your third shot. Going for the green in two can result in a bogey or worse.
What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It? Holes 13 and 15 share a double green with a tunnel in the middle. It is believed to be the only double green with a tunnel running underneath the greens in the world. It is a unique set of holes.
I love hole #14, from the back tees it is a difficult. You have a blind tee shot over Horn Lake Creek. The green is two tier so your second shot needs to be percise.
Must Have Dish or Drink after the round at the 19th Hole? The North Creek Grill serves unbelievable hamburgers. They are hot off the grill. You cannot go wrong with our bacon cheese burger.
