The most memorable thing for me was the periscope at the first tee! Instead of prior golfers ringing a bell to signal they're beyond reach, you have a periscope to view well down the fairway! Cool! (One or two more holes have the same, and #9 &18 could stand to have as well!)

# 2 (par 5) can be a bit confusing, where (from men's tees) you see what appears to be two fairways. The left is actually the rough, out of bounds. (Even though it seems mowed and maintained quite nicely!) If you look forward to the right, you'll see the ladies tee, marking your intended route.

# 4 (the second par 5) has you hit up to a 'saddle' before you see a fair-sized pond protecting the green, set back into trees on all sides.

# 5 (par 3) features an elevated tee shooting across a pond to an elevated green. Confidence here to hit the green (and stick it!), or you're definitely looking at extra shots.

# 6 (par 4) features quite the rolling fairway.

# 7 (par 3): you tee from one hillside, across a hollow, to a raised green which slopes off to front-left. Errant shots will cost you here (though scorecard lists "Free Lift - Area left of 7th Green").

Anyway . . . you get the idea . . . many memorable ups and downs. Definitely a course to check out!

This course should be designated a historical site and protected. A vintage Langford course. Super sporty and fun. The owners do a great job maintaining it and the food is very good.

Hidden Gem. Green are similar to Lawsonia G.C. in Green Lake WI. Great Value and Layout. No sand traps, every green is elevated. Excellent putting challenges.
