This course is not a typical links-style, but it leans more to a links feel than a traditional style course. The fairways are generous, some as wide as ninety-nine yards, and the greens are also ample. The quote "Its bark is more intimidating than its bite" aptly describes this course that contains some blind and restricted tee shots. A staff consensus is that the course does not have a signature hole, rather it is in essence a "signature golf course."
Mike Strantz's design here is exhilarating, infuriating and bewildering -- but never dull. This immensely entertaining test of patience and self-belief might just be the most underrated course in America.
Apart from weekends in spring, Tobacco Road can be played year-round for less than $100. If you can find anything else this much fun for that price, then it's probably indictable in several states.
If you prefer A-to-Z target golf, this ain't for you, with blind shots and greens with more bumps and false fronts than a Hollywood starlet. If you relish courses that area head-scratching joy to play, you won't find anything better.
Thanks to the many blind shots that start on the first tee and end with the approach to No. 18, things tend to move slowly here. But the rangers are visible and polite. Plus, you can use the extra time to figure out the target line.
