The first hole at Willow Point Country Club is a hole that can be characterized as fair and challenging at the same time. The majority of the fairway moves from left to right and gradually climbs uphill until the green.

When golfers walk up to the No. 1 tee at Lakewinds golf course, they should be ready to give it all they have with a driver and see where it puts them in the fairway. The 330-yard, par 4 first is listed as the No. 7 handicap at Lakewinds, giving golfers a straight-on shot with distance, while the elevated green can cause nightmares for those not ready for it.

After a tough stretch of holes on the back nine, the par 4 No. 15 at Willow Point Country Club gives golfers a little bit of a break. The 375-yard hole is equipped with one of the widest fairways on the entire course.

The par-4 ninth hole at Willow Point Country Club is commonly described as the most difficult hole on the front nine by both club members and professionals. The 405-yard hole is one that provides both challenge and intrigue to frequent players of Willow Point. Players need to be ready for an up hill battle on the ninth hole, as the majority of the course features an escalating fairway in which players will need to be accurate and have pin-point ball striking.

The par-5 11th hole at StillWaters Golf Course is one of the prettiest holes on the course, according to course manager Todd Rogers. “Players will notice how elevated they are in the tee box,” Rogers said. “It’s a great view from way up there, but the course is long, so players have to play a long and straight drive.”

The sixth hole at Lakewinds Golf Course is one of the course’s medium difficulty holes. The par 4, 280-yard hole lays flat through the fairway before rising up slightly toward the hole. The green, which is surrounded by a bunker in the front and a lake in the back, is reachable in one stroke. However, for shorter players a lay-up would be recommended.

The sixth hole at StillWaters Golf Club is one of the easiest holes that the course has to offer.

The 11th hole at Lakewinds Golf Course is the first of three par 3 holes on the course’s back nine.

The key on the second hole at StillWaters Golf Club is just like it is on most any hole on any course: put the tee shot in play.
