This nine hole course is well maintained. There is only one water hazard on this hilly course, but there are several sand bunkers incorporated into its design. The tree-lined fairways vary in width, and the small greens are medium speed. The signature hole is 5, a 449-yard, par 5, featuring a ravine on the right side of the fairway.

This facility, which was named to (GOLF Magazine's) 1996 list of Silver Medal Resorts, features three regulation eighteen hole courses and a sporty nine hole course. These courses were built on the highest elevated terrain in the local area. The North Course features open fairways, whereas the South Course has narrow fairways. The newly built General Course is the most challenging design. Many people will appreciate the views of three states from several of the tee boxes. A creek flows throughout all the courses and comes into play on a number of holes.

This course requires golfers to hit plenty of uphill and downhill shots. The course was expanded to eighteen holes in 1995.

This club features an eighteen hole regulation course, plus two regulation nine hole courses and a par 3 course. All the courses are tree lined and afford spectacular views. The most challenging design is the Blue Course. Its signature hole is 16, a 520-yard, par 5, featuring a double dogleg fairway. Though water hazards only occasionally come into play on these courses, sand bunkers have been incorporated into the designs of nearly every hole.

This course, which added nine new holes in 1996, has wide open fairways and a few elevated greens. The terrain is rolling, and there are trees that can alter your shots. There is a man-made lake that comes into play a few times on the original layout, and a creek running through the new design that also affects several holes. The signature hole is 18, a 189-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot over water to a well-bunkered green.

This course's front nine has a water hazard coming into play on every hole. The back nine has ponds coming into play on at least seven different occasions. The fairways are hilly. The signature hole is 8, a 396-yard, par 4, because of its difficulty.

Woodbine Bend Golf Course opened for play May 2002, and is an eighteen hole, links style track designed by architect Bob Lohman. The course is generally open, and there are few trees lining the rolling fairways. Moguls thick with tall fescue dot the course, and both sand and grass bunkers lay in wait throughout to swallow stray shots.
