With landing areas of medium-width, and with northern prairie winds sweeping the course, accuracy off the tee is crucial to success. Rush Creek's sterling collection of par threes is highlighted by the downhill 203-yard seventh, its smallish green nestled among a trio of bunkers. A finger of water to the right of the green spells doom to slicers. Two of the par fives are reachable by big hitters, two are not. According to Cupp, after the drive is landed safely over a pond, the key stroke is the second shot, which must be carefully positioned to set up a third shot to a green flanked by bunkers and divided by a ridge.
Overaggressive approaches end up in the drink behind the green.
As finishing holes go, this is one of the best and most memorable anywhere. A caddie program will be initiated this year. Pro Shop Golfstats Privacy Policy . Time4 Media .
