Description: Bring your A game, not your B game, advises resident PGA pro Craig Hatch. This challenging 18-hole course is for veteran golfers who can play around Spring Creek where it winds through the 6,285-yard, par 72 course.

The course is open daily from sometime in Mar through Nov, depending on the weather. Starting time varies with the season, but tee times can be requested before 5 a.m. in summer. At all times, the course closes at dark. Greens fees vary by season, but the peak summer rates are $44 for 18 holes and $26 for 9 holes. Cart rentals are $30 per person and $18 per person, respectively.
