Running parallel to each other, both holes are relatively short but present delicate challenges depending upon the direction and strength of the wind. At 375 yards from the tips, the 7th hole is the shortest of these two par 4' s, but requires an accurate tee shot. With O.B. left and a barrier of rolling mounds that shape this uphill hole, players can bail out right into the 8th fairway with a driver. However, any shot into the narrow elevated 7th green is difficult. From an elevated tee, the 390 yard, par 4, 8th hole plays much shorter than 7, unless of course the wind is in your face.
Players face what appears to be a simple tee shot into a wide valley fairway.
With these hazards in your sights, it is easy to overcompensate to the right, bringing two fairway bunkers from 7 into play. After your tee shot, players face a large undulating green surrounded by a triangle of three bunkers. While my husband likes 7 and 8, I am particularly fond of number 2, two of the par 3's over water - number 4 and 13 and number 18. This links course sweeps one away to a time when prairie grasses and swells covered this plateau. Number 2 is a challenging par 5 but not one that leaves you ready to quit the game, that's number 11.
