Par 3 third hole. Hard to see elevation change, but it’s pretty significant. I think this is the “signature hole,” because it’s the one featured on the website. Photo submitted by jt20sb22 on 07/20/2024

The Pace of Play Was Good
Play moved along as they were fairly busy. The greens were smooth and the ball rolled well. Other guesses were very accommodating to a single.

Course narrow misplace shots.
Enjoyed the challenge. Highly recommend for the golfer who plays boggy golf. Placement of shots must. Staff very good and help.

Not Impressed
The 9 hole Norway course is in better shape than the 'premier' 18 hole Spruce course. The tee boxes for the courses are in terrible condition. The entire course except for the greens have a lot of weeds. The sand traps were more like gravel traps. Unfortunately the course shows years of neglect and no maintenance. The greens were in decent shape and were very tough to read and play.
