This tiny stream became one of the raging torrents in 1985's flood, but no vestige of those days exists on this quiet spring evening.

Location is surely a key though. Within the Highlands radius, three public courses offer varying levels of golfing. In the west end, newly opened Cliffview Golf Club and Inn boasts an 18-hole course with an added bed and breakfast connection. Each of these courses provides affordable golf access for the locality. The Homestead and its famous Cascades courses, but resort owner, Club Court, has recently restricted options for playing these prestigious links to those who purchase season passes or are guests at the Hotel.
