Parkland Style Golf Courses

Typically located inland, parkland courses have well-kept fairways, mature trees, thick rough and many bunkers.  They are lush and well manicured.  The most prestigious ones have immaculate landscaping with flowers, hedges, specialty bushes and trees.  Greens are typically mildly undulating and small. Water hazards are usually manmade often with waterfalls and rock walls.  They have a park-like feel.

A remarkable layout with small plateaued greens.  It’s no wonder it’s ranked #5 in the state for public courses.  The views of the lake and the hotel are magnificent.
