Great course. Large greens, nice rough with lots of trees. It's a very nice design and great finishing hole...

This course was reworked a couple of years ago and turned a good course into a great course. Lafortune Park Golf Course has one of the best stocked pro-shops you will find anywhere. The grill has great hamburgers.

Course layout tends towards classic design. Elevation changes on seven holes are significant and make the layout more interesting. Good mix of straight holes and dog legs, about the right amount of water and sand. Greens are in good condition. But..... Greens were rebuilt and expanded a number of years ago to allow more pin placements and variety. So far, so good. Then they added moguls and humpbacks and fall-offs that are too steep and overly penal. It's not that unusual to face a 90 foot putt (or a 20 foot putt!) over a five foot rise and then back down a similar amount. It's purely a matter of taste, but facing those two or three times a round takes some of the enjoyment out of it for me.
