Love it

One of my favorite courses in the area. Interesting layout with nice variety. Fairways are pretty wide off the tee. Approach shots are more challenging, as several green complexes have big humps and swales, but nothing unreasonable or unfair. If it had a driving range, this place would be just about perfect.

Always a favorite

If Shepherd’s Crook had a driving range, it would be almost perfect. The course is great, with a variety of looks and challenges, a little tougher than the rating and slope in my opinion, but very fair. Can’t complain about aeration this time of year.

Undulatring Greens
