Playing Hints:
This nine hole course has been described as being a bit “funky” and with good reason. Although it’s a short course, there are plenty of challenges and it can be quite fun to try and master this one. There’s something for all players to learn here and a chance to work on not only your long shots but your short game as well.
The first hole is a nice dog leg with a water hazard to the left and two bunkers on either side of the green. Use care to stay in the center of the fairway here. You’ll be going great when you hit hole three, which is a bit of a killer. Keep going though and you’ll get to even more challenging holes.
This course is in the center of a racehorse track, so many people prefer to schedule their game while the horses are running. Numerous events are also held at the fairgrounds and keep your play interesting. This course is so popular that many people decide to play a full eighteen rounds instead of just the regular nine. It’s challenging enough to keep you focused and the extra practice can’t hurt at figuring out how to master this fun but sometimes difficult little course.
With the low rates though, it’s easy to spend a few hours working on your game and enjoying all the sites in the area.
