Another beautiful fantasy course that isn't a fantasy at all, a real course, challenging but fair, lovely to look at but will bite you if you're not paying attention. Thanks, Micko.

With a beautiful and hilly countryside with colorful trees, wide yellow fields and red-roofed houses, you will enjoy your walk through this course, quite challenging, at times, with some downhill doglegs, a few elevated greens, some well-placed bunkers and a few tricky greens, hard to read, especially around the cups. After the right dogleg par-4 1st hole and its nice panoramic view, I like the downhill dogleg par-4 2nd, with a nice road on the left all the way to the green and the nearby clubhouse. If the straight downhill par-5 3rd hole has a nice tree-lined fairway, I prefer the other par-5, the 4th hole, with its twisted tree-lined fairway and an elevated green to the right. Other holes worth mentioning are the easy par-3 5th, with an elevated green and a nice panoramic view of the valley, the downhill left dogleg par-4 7th hole, all the way to the green with a nice view behind, the downhill left dogleg par-4 8th, with plenty of trees in the left corner, hiding part of the fairway, and the par-3 9th hole, with a small pond on the left, not far from the clubhouse ! On the back 9, I like the slightly-downhill dogleg par-5 10th hole, with a narrow fairway and a green, slightly to the right, the slightly-downhill right dogleg par-4 11th, more wide-open, with houses on the left side and a big bunker in the right corner in the middle. One of the most picturesque holes is the downhill par-4 12th, with its nice panoramic view, big bunkers on both sides of the fairway and a green, slightly to the left, whereas the left dogleg par-5 15th hole is quite pretty, with its slightly-downhill slope, a wide lake on the left and two trees, partially hiding the view of the green as you hit your approach shot. After the nice par-3 16th hole with a tee shot over the lake, and the right dogleg par-4 17th, with nice trees lining up the fairway, you will finish your round with one of my favorite holes, the downhill right dogleg par-4 18th, very nice, with a small pond on the left of the green and the clubhouse on the right. With its colorful landscape, this par 72 makes you feel good just looking at it, and with Micko’s nice design, it is even more enjoyable !
