This is the third oldest course in the U.S. The course is located across from Lake Michigan and provides outstanding scenery for the golfers. The fairways are lined by trees and bordered by a standard cut of rough. There aren't any water hazards on the course, but there are plenty of sand bunkers.

Watch out for # 5, a 355 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. #5 requires a tee shot up a narrow fairway; then an approach shot to a well-bunkered green guarded by a tree situated in the center of the fairway approximately fifty yards in front of the green.
