Greystone relies on tricky landing areas and frequent changes of elevation as its signatures. The last three holes make the finish uniquely difficult. Don't miss there. While No. 8 is rated the No. 1 handicap hole, the 18th is by far the toughest hole on the course. The lake flanks the right side and Mound Road is on the right.
Some swampy land is just in front of the tee, and the fairway is tiered.
The hole sweeps to the right, along the edge of the lake, and the green is protected in front by water and behind by deep grass on a steep hill. After those three monsters, you're ready for some refreshment in Greystone's spectacular clubhouse. Greystone's fairways are in impeccable shape, but several of the greens were badly spiked and two tee boxes, particularly No. 7, are badly worn. Matthew Rudy is a free-lance writer.
