The West Course 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
West Hole Descriptions
1 A long par 5 that normally plays into the wind makes this a difficult starting hole. A good tee shot and second shot may find its way onto the green, but the bunker in the front left and the water right of the green will collect any errant shots. Any balls that hit the hill on the left will normally find the water, and a back left pin position is nearly impossible to get close to.
2 This par 3 with water down the entire right side is a slicers nightmare. The prevailing wind is from left to right which makes things even worse. A good shot is anything that finds the deep tow tiered green.
3 This par 4 is not the longest, but makes for a difficult none the less. A shot that finds the 150 mark is all you need from the tee. The hidden bunker down the left and water on the right makes for a small landing area. The green is long and narrow and seems to play 1 club less than it may seem.
4 The fourth hole is one of the most difficult par 4's on the course. The tee shot is up hill and must be shaped from right to left. A good tee shot will leave your second shot somewhere around the 170 mark. From there you must hit into a green that is guarded by a bunker on the front left and trees on the right.
5 This par 3 is not the longest, but it still leaves a demanding tee shot. With a bunker across the front and another bunker deep left an accurate iron shot is a must. The green is big with a few ridges that can make for some difficult putting.
6 The "Michigan Hole" is one of the courses signatures. The green is shaped like Michigans Lower Peninsula. A safe tee shot will leave you anywhere from 100 to 150 yards out. Pay close attention to the flag location because you do not want to be putting from Lansing to Cheboygen.
7 This uphill par 4 requires a long straight tee shot if you want any chance of getting your next shot close. The green is uphill from there and is bunkered on the left and back. The green itself is fairly large with the opportunity for a few difficult pin positions.
8 This Par 5 is reachable for the long hitters, but it requires two very good shots. The landing area off the tee has a fairway bunker on the left and water on the right to collect any off center tee shots. If the player chooses to go for the green in two they must fly the ball all the way there as there is a creek running across the fairway about 50 yards fro the green. A perfect layup is to the 100 yard marker. This leaves a wedge into this large sloped green.
9 The ninth hole is a good hole to finish on. A good drive can leave the player in position to hit the green with a shorter iron. However, the green has a ridge that runs from the front left to back right and will leave any misplaced wedge shots in an area that wont produce many two putts.
