MacKenzie Course: Measuring 6,991 yards from the back tees, this 73-year-old track, originally designed by architect Alister MacKenzie, is a true test of golf for the low handicapper.

With very little water (Arcade Creek comes into play on five holes) and no fairway bunkers, the small, heavily bunkered greens require shot-making and putting to be sharp to score. Arcade Course: The Arcade Creek Golf Course is a relatively flat layout designed to be friendly to every skill level. Arcade Creek runs through the course, but rarely poses too much in the way of an obstacle. The whole intention of Arcade Creek Golf Course is to ease beginners into the game by placing the middle tees at a relatively short 6,552 yards. |
